If we were to get Zaza as well, we would have the foulingest front trio in Premier League history. Bring on the ankle-breakers!
If we line up with just Davis and Tadic in central midfield I'll be leading the calls for Claude's head!!! Flicking back to 4-2-3-1, here's a possible... Forster; Cédric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand; Højbjerg, Romeu; Redmond, Boufal, Tadić; (new man or Austin/Long).
In case anyone plans on getting near to saying Boufal is a "little lightweight" ... well, he's the same height as Mane
Probably not a bad thing; I'm not a fan. But two of the card-happiest attacking players in a team built for pressing would have been worth the price of admission.
Don't want to piss on your parade but other than on here I'd never heard of him before, if you'll forgive my ignorance. Why such a hype around him?
Because he's a footballer and we are a football team....perfect match. We stopped being fussy nearly a month ago.
£21.2m fee according to The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...n-sofiane-boufal-lille-talks?CMP=share_btn_tw
Because it's a signing. Any signing. A concrete rumour. Plus his dribbling absolutely boufals defenders....
Yes. I want Stanciu too. I can't live, if livin' ain't with Stanciu I can't live, can't live anymore! And there, surely, is the beginnings of the greatest footy chant of all time.
My trusted sourse tells me the signing of Boufal is imminent, he doesn't let much out some I'm pretty confident for what its worth. [Don't shoot the messenger]
http://www.wdsport.co.uk/2016/08/watford-still-in-the-hunt-for-boufal-as-southampton-enter-the-race/ Watford considered they were in a good place to sign Boufal, but reportedly won't be drawn into a bidding war with Saints. Good. We may be paying too much....who knows how a player will turn out....but sometimes you have to. And shortly before the end of the transfer window may be such a time.
I'd say with European football and our current model, we are a far more attractive club for Boufal. Just want it over the line!
