Not to be coy but a friend of a friend who knows someone who works near the club shop's distribution plant just told me we might be in for Diego Carlos

I don't know mate. What KLD's longer term plans are a guess at best. There were rumours at the back end of last season about further investment,but what form that might take wasn't ever made clear. KLD and JS are very wealthy individuals in their own right and have access to even more wealth through their own family connections. One thing which has become clear to me in the last few years is that both are extremely shrewd and are clearly working to a financially stable project with the aim of establishing our club in the higher echelons of modern English football.
I think this is pretty much spot on. For me, the Lauriente deal makes sense only with Mundle leaving.
The 3 you have in green I think we keep for squad depth along with potentially Browne and Hjelde (new signings dependant) just to make sure we have emergency cover around our injury prone defence and AFCON.
Shows the obvious gaps too, which I think we all agree on - GK, CBx2, DM and then maybe a wildcard loan on the right wing or striker depending on the quality we can bring in.
Villa paid circa £26M for him back in the day (under Gerrard) then sold him to Turkey for approx €10M ...... He suffered MCL injury back in Feb and now they want to make a profit on him at 32 years old! ....hmmmm
If I've learnt one thing this window its to completely ignore anything that comes from Turkey.
Hope these new wingers like working back for the team, people forget how much work Roberts and Mundle had to do last year defending, probably more to do this season.
I don't know enough about him personally, other than what I've looked up after the fact.
I think the key point though is that RLB and Ghisolfi will know him as well as anyone and he's played multiple seasons with Le Feé. They know enough to know if it's a signing likely to pay off.
