If Diarra, Sadiki and Talbi have good seasons they are all the type of player that Chelsea/ManU will try and snap up for £60-70m next summer or the year after. Very much the Brighton model which I would think is part of the ambitious plan.
Yeah that's it really, he was fine didn't do much wrong and didn't really impact the games - I think he'll cope with the switch well.
On the plus side, it means the AFCON might come a little too soon for him this year in terms of an international call-up, so we might have him over the Christmas period just as he is getting into the swing of things...
Anybody heard any news/gossip on any incoming loan deals maybe we will get a couple CBs on loan for the season.
Remember a couple of years ago when we were saying hope we can keep these kids together for a while. Now imagine if these are the real deal and we can keep these together for a few years…. Lot of unknowns so might not work out but if they do… exciting.
You look at centre backs nowadays.. VVD, Saliba etc, 6’4 and absolutely rapid as well as being built like proper gadgees. As opposed to Roberts and his baby strides making him incredibly slow even though he can move quick with the ball!
Galatasaray are now after another keeper. Could read well for Petrovic coming here. Daily mirror and some other outlets still expect him to sign here
According to the echo. Sunderland are wanting a left sided CB and a goalkeeper before the Portugal trip
Think tabli will be a rotation option for Both wings. We’ll sign a big RW imo. Or another one of similar ability to play both. Maybe lauriente
