Yep. I do think we’ve signed well so far but Xhaka would be next level. Love the experience he’d bring along with Mandava.
Been telling people for month, If we build it ,he will come.. It'll be good to see the lad come home.
maybe hes had a chat with fellow countryman Fabian Schar up the road asking what the N.E is like to live in etc and heard only good things
It can’t do us any harm having someone with a strong profile. It makes the ambitious project become more than words.
Yeah, especially when it's been reported/quoted that Brentford value him at £40 million. Putting in such low ball offers, which they've apparently done with Trafford and Ekitike, is risky. It can either make you look like your not serious or opens the door for someone to sweep in late on and seal it (which seems to have happened with Ekitike).
£25m for a striker who scored as many from open play as the worlds best striker last season in a much worse team
I'd pay £25m for Wissa. He's probably at least met Le Bris since they were both at Lorient at the same time even if he wasn't the manager. We all know meeting RLB is enough.
I bet you the Mergs wish they had sold Longstaff for that £60m when Manure came calling a couple of seasons ago
Has anyone watched Xhaka lately? Few leverkusem fans om twitter saying he’s been poor last few months. Could be many reasons for that, love the signing though. What a weird 12 months it’s been
Two weeks ago I was told a deal for him "was on" by someone who had links to the club and his agents. He was open to coming and the club were very confident. Unfortunately the same was said about Petrovic and look what happened! Would love it to happen though
He doesn't have pace. He doesn't need it. They have a good midfield and only Linton can run, though that is all he can do.
