    Well if it’s a front two in that sense, he’s the foil to Archer. He also brings in Les/Flynn/Fernandes, who would be the three I’d want in that situation.

    Bijlow
    Suga THB Beddy Jack KWP

    Big Les

    Flynn Fernandes

    Alberto Archer

    Not something I would hate if the two WBs push up for width.

    Was going to say, you could probably make a video of Haaland being **** if you were that way inclined.

    He’s a cyborg though - so maybe not

    Going to be difficult getting width from KWP on the left so. He'll be far more inclined to come inside - especially under Martin, with his fondness for inverting.

    I love KWP, as we all do. But he's not a LWB.

    Looking into this a bit more, seems he started brilliantly with Coronthians, but has recently been more than a bit **** (coinciding with Corinthians going downhill and a bit mad too), and has become a bit of figure of fun that they’d love to be rid of.

    So it feels like there’s definitely the talent there, but it’s a bit of a gamble whether we can extract it again. We can either have got ourselves another Firminho (actually, a young Firminho is precisely what we need), or we have another Delgado…

    Also wondered if he was actually coming to us and not to Goztepe.

    Either way, if he does come here, good luck to the guy.

    No, it would definitely be to us.

    Yeah, but what did you expect his mum to say about him?

    To be fair, I’m happy to give him a chance, think he could actually work out pretty well for us. Hopefully goes through pretty quickly.

    Any news on the Keeper??

    I mean, I'm not exactly enamoured if it's him that we go for but whoever we go for, it's a punt. To outsiders, especially outside the country, we are the worst of the three promoted clubs (because we came 4th and had to do it via the playoffs) - not a huge draw and in any bidding war with another club, we lose. Unless it's Ipswich or Leicester, in which case we have a chance

    Yes I've seen the bad bloopers, the memes, the piss taking but this is a guy who between the age of 18 and 23 has scored over 50 goals and averages a goal every three games through almost 200 career games. And he's 23. So I get it, in terms of why this is the punt we would go for

    I can remember Shane Long going on 30/40/50 game runs of scoring one or two goals. And yet he was loved because he ran around a lot. So, you know...

    And it's not like we have bundles of cash or time to find the next Mane. If nothing else, it might generate a few laughs and l think we are going to need some of those this season.

    I love this signing, if it comes off. Will be entertaining for sure. He's got an air of Darwin Nunez.

    Even if he's ****e, it'll be more fun than seeing "Oh Che" stand still in the box, or taking a touch with an open goal in front of him to move it onto his right foot.

    I guess it depends on the nature of the obligation. If it is based on games/goals/staying up then that is one thing. Doesn’t sound like we would be interested if it’s just a straight obligation unless our big issue is PSR

    Understandable from their end

    If true it is good that the idea motivates the player - and before people say it, as far as I understand, loans are usually on the same terms as the base contract. So he won’t be excited by a premier league salary. Unless loans have changed. Maybe part of such deals is that we also pay extra
