He’s quality. I’m annoyed we missed out on him too. Went to Nice in January for €11 million plus add-ons. Apparently, he’s been so impressive for Nice in Ligue 1 since joining, Liverpool have shortlisted him as a potential replacement for Fabinho if they fail to sign Lavia from Southampton. City dropped a bollock not signing him last summer.
To put this in perspective, his transfer value is £1M. Their other winger Malcolm who we know only too well is worth £3M and Longman £2.5M Surely this isnt Englands brightest talent?
He’s the kind of player that makes an average team a top team. Look what Kante did for Leicester and Chelsea.
Looks like a £500k (poor man's) Haji Wright. Also similar age, similar height and similar nationality... sadly not the same goalscoring record, experience or caps for country. But that's why he's £500k and not £7m.
Leicester apparently set to sign Turkish international Yunus Akgün on loan with a view to a permanent deal. Be sods law if they've scouted Turkey better than us - supposed to be our strong point! Couple that with their interest in Rak-Sakyi, that's two wingers they're looking to sign - perhaps Dewsbury-Hall is leaving?
We can scout just as good as Leicester, but financially they are in a different league to us so are bound to go for players we would have zero chance with
Is he coming with his brothers to watch Wednesday on Saturday, or is he sitting on the fence and staying at home to watch t'Blades?
