Consistently France u21, play as a centre half or a right back so the sort of profile I would hope we are looking for. Every team in france wanted him as an 18 year old.
I'm always suspicious of news that says we are after someone but so are the Mags. They love to drop these rumours so they can beat us to a signing I reckon!
Wasn’t patto linked with Liverpool at some point. Wonder if they are interested again with selling their back up. Might already have one in like but not familiar with Liverpool’s transfers
Sadly that’s how football is now, I guess as I’m not far off being 60, I still live in the past when I say I’d prefer playing for a team like Sunderland or Leeds and 40,000 fans over Brentford and 16,000 I’d prefer the chance to become part of something special and join the history of a club with honours rather than plodding along season after season with no hope of anything better than mid table
We won’t very often have the same targets and if we do we won’t often win the battle just yet but we’ll be linked so that it can be reported as we’ve missed out!
Yeah they even did that in the championship - mag reporters would say that we wanted someone totally out of reach just so they could rub it in.
Never underestimate the pull of London. Being close to it is a big deal, especially to many foreign players. And of course, they are fixed in the PL.
I'd take us buying 11 German dirt farmers I've never heard of if they keep us in the prem tbh. Not like having a good youtube montage means much really. I do like Singo though.
Hope when we sign new players we take advantage of the premier league nameset and show their name and number on the kits for the announcement etc
This is nectars make or break at 22 for me seems strange to loan him out again at that age if we don’t view him as a Sunderland midfielder or defender I think we cash in now while his stocks high and put a sell on in. seems a likeable bloke so shame if it doesn’t work out here
