    According to a Juventus fan on SW he scores a goal of the month quality goal once a season. Then again so could Martina....

    As long as he is not Osvaldo2. Like the highlights video, straight to Liverpool. Blue writing

    From what i've read, my main worry is he feels a bit like Boufal, in that he has skill, and in Mario's case, phyciality as well, but may not have the brain to know when to use it. I've already seen a fair few Juve fans say he doesn't work well in the 2 of a 4 2 3 1, which would be what we will use him for. Generally they seem to think he will do much better in the more physical premier league though and think he will do well here. Either way hopefully making him our new record signing should take the curse off Boufal so at least he will do well now :)

    Both with Boufal and Mario, i just hope they get the gametime to learn.

    I fairness, before they joined, Bertrand was crap, VVD had the turning circle and speed of an ocean liner, Romeu was never going to make it at the top level, Osvaldo was the greatest signing ever, and Charlie Austin was made of glass.

    Okay, I'll give you the last one!

    I've put him in my Fantasy team, so I might have jinxed his career...

    With the current exchange rate there's virtually no difference...

    Was going to respond and say that if he could hit a barn door from 6yds away, that would be better than most of our current midfielders. Then I realised you'd said 20 feet (6.67 yards) rather than 20 yards. Very clever Ashby. <laugh><cheers>

    No doubt the usual work permit delay will rear its ugly head and we will have to wait for the outcome?

    Hasn't come up in any reports. Will likely be announced tomorrow though I wouldn't be surprised if it was tonight to counter the VVD story.

    I'd imagine he has French nationality; was living there from (at least) 2004 - 2015. Might be longer...that start date is when he joined the Lorient academy.

    Edit: derp, he played for the French U20 and U21 teams, so yeah...should be safe there.

    I have some leaked info on this.

    A fixed camera is placed 18ft in the air.
    Les Reed gets on a trampoline and starts building momentum. In the first clip Reeds head reaches 18ft with the word welcome a cross his forehead. Next clip Reed gets to 20ft with Mario across his t shirt, then 22ft and Lemina across his shorts.
    The final shot is Reed getting down from the trampoline and walking away and a shot of the back off his t shirt with the wording van dijk you're a fncking little ****.

    Some of this may be made up..

    Especially when the links below the story claim Barcelona are in for Aaron Ramsey.

    Bit of static on the line; they got it all garbled. Meant to say that Aaron Ramsey is in a Barcalounger.
