Ouch. Sorry, just poked myself in the eye putting my glasses on. Seems like a genuinely exciting player who has goals in him. We could do with more of the same, too often last season I'd look at our team and wonder who exactly the opposition were supposed to be scared of, whereas more often then not they would have three or four to worry about.
What I note on that video is he looks like he gets the ball out from under his feet quickly, last time I recall this was Johnston & Summerbee. They were alright.
Lots of links but no bids (officially anyway) for any fecker, Dutch, British or otherwise, save for a right back who needs to improve to challenge Billy Jones and Ralphy Coates young'n who we had anyway. We need to see some movement or else we'll be back to chasing shadows again like with Borini until September.
Nailed on? Or newspaper/internet chit chat? We need these lasds through the door for a full preseason mate. I thought we'd have had at least 3 or 4 'top target' signings in by now as Advocaats list was compiled back in May. I hope your right but I've been along this route with Sunderland too many times not to be slightly concerned. We always leave it too late or play too close a game with signings.
Lens himself has confirmed he here and in talks, him and his family are scared in the Ukraine and that his relationship with Dick would make it the ideal move. media claiming it's at medical stage which could well be true not knowing the time of the Lens interview. It's got more legs than centipede.
It's going to take something like a failed medical or unrealistic demands to halt this I reckon. Fee mentioned is 13.5m Euros. which would make it £9.6m
I'm not totally aufait with the lad or his abilities other than you tube Tbh but e looks pacy and tricky with an eye for goal and a killer pass. £10m is standard fare for players these days too.
