Never heard of Bulka (excuse my ignorance) but sounds like an ambitious move from posters who know a lot more than me. I really wish I knew what we were going to spend this summer, if the talk of this lad costing upwards of £20m, I'd find it really surprising that we are spending that much on a GK when I'd argue other positions are more in need of an upgrade. Harsh on Patto too but we have to keep growing. Feels like the last couple of days a lot more reliable reports coming out so hopefully things are moving quickly. Would be happy if we got 2 new lads in for preseason starting and a few more for the Portugal trip. Exciting times.
On a serious note though if we can get serious talent through the door as we’ve done with Le Fee and potentially Bulka and Lauriente then it will make it much easier to convince other top talents like your singo and Merlin to come. As the project looks like a serious an ambitious one not just a forlorn hope
You're right, of course. But Fab rarely reports on anything unless its likely. He's a bit of a tap in merchant in that regard.
Fab doesn’t report on ‘open talks’ this’ll be one where he posts multiple tweets, talks moving closing deal medical. he does it all the time paid per tweet. Notice he also mentions how he had other clubs after him but it’s not us moving forward
Just to get everyone to excited before it never happens, this was one of the best goalkeeping performances I've ever seen.
Fab did the eyes on his instagram post which normally means things are moving fast and its surprised him
This is my disquiet over the Lauriente transfer on steroids tbh. Big money on a position that wasn't what I would have called a critical one at the start of the summer. So either we have lost our minds and decision-making at the club has gone to cock, or our ambition is much higher than we'd anticipated. Given how well we've been run in the KLD era, it's reasonable to trust that we're in the second scenario. Only hesitation I have is around Ghisolfi. Great operator by reputation, but the nightmare scenario is that this is a power struggle and a complete rejection of the ways of working that have got us here. That's just me at my current sleep-deprived worst though!
Patto had a tricky season but ended it in glory with a great game in the final, wouldnt be against replacing him but do wonder what it would do squad harmony and the upcoming renewal of Neil
We are looking at a new Goalkeeper, ( either Moore or Young will be on the move, or Blondy) and LB & RB as cover as we had injuries problems there, a new CB, Winger(s) so that will please Cam, CM, DM, And couple new strikers for more fire power up front,
