I know we usually do business quietly but the fact we’ve hardly been linked to a CB after going for Lucumi and Diakite is positive imo
Positive that we are interested. But if the stories are to be believed that he’s holding out for CL football then will he have the right sort of attitude that the club are looking for?
Yeah but how reputable is the newspaper and journo who wrote it? Not brushed up on my italian sources haha
If Bologna haven't rejected our bid and Lucumi is considering whether he'd join us, he could also be the "Green Light" Downie referred to.
It’s funny the difference 12 months makes this time last year I was desperate for this lad now we’re trying to bring in Xhaka
he seems to be being convinced with our project though according to latest reports and is keen on testing himself in the PL
you mean world wide famous Parkinson because of Disney.. same bloke that stood clueless in the technical area. Dark dark days thoes.
I have to say ‘the lure of playing European football’ puzzles me slightly. Is turning out against an unpronounceable Scandinavian team really such a pull when the Premier League is probably better? It may only be a few games and knocked out in the first phase.
I keep seeing that players want to play European football but coming to play in the PL can be way beyond playing in Europe in terms of quality. 2 games each season against Man City, Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa etc certainly beats playing Qarabag, Servette or Bodo Glimt.
I'd be surprised if Abdullahi got a Championship loan. Maybe towards the bottom of the division. League One feels more likely. He just needs to be playing. He's got the physicality to adapt to the Premier League later. For now he just needs to be playing and scoring.
