As much as I think he's a superstar in the making, surely that's a way off. It's a hard squad to get into. Imagine Sunderland being, not far off, solely responsible for developing a Spain player.
Reims relegation confirmed last night, only really a few that could be useful pickups: - Amadou Kone DM - Yehvann Diouf Really capable backup keeper - Keito Nakamura LW - Hiroki Sekine RB but not too convinced.
I haven't watched Orazi for their B team but heard decent things, suppose it could be worth bringing him over for our u18/21 sides to play on the left. Unfortunately although initially quite exciting I think Patrick has been a disappointment - maybe a move to a championship team where he can get consistent minutes would be good for him.
I can see us bringing a few in from the French league, just seen there that Cherki has a release clause of about £22m, obviously well out of our league imo but if that's the sort of value you can get, surely we look there?
Obligation to buy I assume then? Just remember when was watching a Gladbach game few weeks ago they mention he was loaned out. Really good player he is and got PL vibes about him.
