I really like Diarra but still hope we go for Lennon Miller as well. I want a British core and he is the best prospect in Scotland so would like to add him to our 2 local lads in CM then add Diarra to Enzo - plus 1 more would do nicely for CM
I wonder if Phil smith not rubbishing it and actually confirming he’s on our shortlist reads good for Nixon’s story. He gets fed a line from the club
I didn't really read it that way, but I do think Phil is just regurgitating all the rumours and knows nowt new.
Yep that's it, can play all 3 positions and has massive upside. I also don't think it'll take him long to adapt to the PL Miller will likely cost 7-8 million which is a bargain with his upside
Talk about how much Rigg will improve next season and Miller will be doing the exact same, long term probably a 6 but maybe more useful as an 8/10 currently would set us up for the future immensely.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] Yep him and Rigg would be an unreal partnership in a couple of years - 2 unreal prospects Still have a feeling Henderson might come in as the 6th CM
Keep seeing Patto can still improve he’s young etc as a reason to keep him he’s the same age as Bulka ffs

As long as there's more minutes going to our young lads, but think it leaves us without any "destroyer" sort of midfielder to break up play. Thinking about the current rumours: Le Fee €20m Bulka €20m Diarra €25m (I think we'll offer the 25m but sway the deal with a clause if we stay up and others) Vanat €17m Miller €10m Lauriente €18m Henderson €0m Would be €110m spent with RW, LB, CB x2 and a backup RB imo. Plus of course raising funds with sales.

Yeah I think that would be a pretty great start and hopefully leave us room to get in the rest of what's needed, suppose a midfield 2/3 of players who all get a bit stuck in would make up for it.
Lots of external transfer activity on the go. Club trying to tie down mayenda with a new deal as well as others after the former has some big interest.
Doesn’t surprise me at all that he has a lot of interest. Think he has so much potential. Really hope we get that sorted and he shows what he can do in the Prem.
