His stats are decent but not exceptional…. And only one season as first choice in a top European league. Had never heard of him until a month ago but he looks good on YouTube so I’m all in!
At 6’ 5 1/2” he is in keeping with Big Lad FC, shaping up nicely for Tony Pulis to come in after 10 games to lead the relegation battle
word is we have Sean Dyche on retainer if Dan James sat on largie’s shoulders who in turn sat on Gnonto’s shoulders. Combined they’d still be the shortest player on the team.
Got to say I'm not overly excited about Paixao, he's made it clear he wants Marseille and CL football and no one can blame him for that but there's been nothing from his camp about wanting to join Leeds, its all been Marseille this and that. So if he does come, I just have a feeling of will his heart be in it and he's just here for the short haul.
Wouldn't fret too much. Very few I suspect of our lads are here for long haul. Promise of CL footie and most will be gone. Soloman did great despite his heart still being in Spurs. Rapha same and he clearly wanted to be at Barca
The flip side of the coin is he comes here to tear it up so that he can move on to a CL club, this is essentially the Brighton & Bournemouth model, we won’t stand in your way if the right bid comes in. Otherwise you just recruit mediocre players.
Just look at Isak from toon, won a trophy in champions league next year but still wants away. Burnley set to lose trafford to citeh, could derail their plans for this season.
Hearts 3 Sunderland 0 Sunderland fans moaning about how bad they were, concerned that their new boys Sadiki and Diarra (who some of their fans believe we wanted so badly) both went down heavily after challenges. I think some might be realising they’ve paid a bit over the top filling their team with lightweight options.
