He’s a full international at 18. We’d be able to argue for special dispensation and get through that way. Wouldn’t be a surprise if we did similar to Macallister though and allow him to finish the Chilean season (it’s half way through at moment) and bring him across to the UK after.
Fee I heard...
Hypothetically if a deal was done we would want to keep it quiet for as long as possible. This would be to allow us to find a replacement and strike a deal with the selling club. If they knew of our desperation or / and the fee received they would likely inflate the fee they quote.
Barber will certainly hope so… that way he can get our commercial arm working overload. Get Mitoma to model the shirt, increase our appeal to the Asian Market and before you can say “Neko ni koban” we’ll have some new sponsorships deals lined up.
Mostly played as a left winger / forward for Montpellier so likely cover / long term replacement for Trossard if he came our way. Looks comfortable with having ball at his feet.

Doesn’t fit our business model. If we’re looking for a Cucurella replacement, we should probably have Melvin Bard high on our list. He’s been great for Nice and is only going to get better.
Some talk in Turkey this morning that he’s been approached by MKE Ankaragücü about playing in the Super League with them next season.
He seems happy here, and given the troubles that league has it’s unlikely he’ll leave.
Here we go! Bradford Telegraph now reporting this is compete complete.

Burnley played him as a attacking midfielder. In seasons past he was a left wing back for Lyon. Him and Trossard on the left together wound be lethal attacking wise, but we would more than likely become weaker defensively.
First thing we need to do is reinvest it in a player who can fill the void. Unsurprisingly there’s not many players available who have similar attributes and positional flexibility.
My pick would be Melvin Bard. French youth international with Nice. 21 years old. Very similar to Cucu, likes to...
He’d be a welcome addition. He’s on 40k a week at Burnley and if Cucu leaves and with season we’ve had I think we could actually sell the idea of him joining us relatively easily.
No. No reported interest from us, but he is supposed to be the next big thing. Talk of him going to Dortmund to replace Haaland. Newcastle tried to get him in January.
Fabrizio Romano reporting that it’s been agreed for Mazzu to take over the Anderlecht managers role from Kompany. Will be interesting to see who they get in to take over.
Football Index aren’t reliable and think it’s a piece we can safely ignore. Tuanzebe has been terrible, struggled to get playing time at anywhere he’s been on loan and isn’t any better (or even equal) to players we already have coming through in that position such as Van Hecke, Ostigard (who...
