Early conversations were probably started on a provisional basis before the play-offs...graduated to serious conversations since. The fact that the window doesn't close until well after the season has started is a disgrace,which needs fixing imo. However,as ever highly unlikely,but hoping we can get our significant business done by pre-season trip.
I think there may be more than a chance mate considering that Juan is currently vice president of Monaco.
I know it’s technically the inverse of with rice but I’m seeing a lot of similarities between what Triantis is doing and what rice did before he broke my heart and dashed my hopes for a good Irish team when he switched to England
Fair, but a lot more championship games than PL for most of them. Might de delusional I think we can maybe attract better players thanks to profile of club.
Skipp is so bad IMO. Adding him to Winks too. Two overpriced plodders. Spurs will have been happy with those deals!
Oh yeah for sure, they did awful business - was just in response to them going to the foreign market and that being why it didn't work out. We can look at the British market as long as we don't sign ****e.
Absolute garbage. Be mortified if he was linked here. Imagine being a pound shop Winks. And then being signed to play with Winks. Jesus.
Undoubtedly, just about signing players who can adjust to the country quickly. Our most success has been with players who either knew English or learned the language quickly.
We absolutely can. But we do need a bit of both in my eyes. I certainly don’t wants us just catching the baton of plodders who bounce from one relegated side to another though. Saints I’d love Harwood -Bellis, KWP and Ramsdale. Leicester I’d take Hermansen and Fatawu (lefty!) Ipswich I like Hutchison and Davies. I don’t think for a second we look at any of those.
Oh yeah. You can buy players of that ilk and have them contribute but you've got to avoid paying £20m+ for them. You need to find the ones that teams have kinda forgotten about, but could still do a job. There are players who get traded around PL clubs for middling 7 figures each season that go on to make solid impacts. Need to be all over those types of deals.
