Ah yes - I was ready to file that one under “too obscure to have any real PL competition for his signature”.

If true that’s Burnley and now Fulham we’ve beaten to signings so far this window. Most unlike us - primarily as usually our transfer targets are so obscure they’re probably barely even on our rival clubs’ radar until they pitch up here!

Oddly he ranks highly in all the other passing metrics, so possibly it’s a tactical or mental thing rather than an obvious flaw in his game.

Yeah we seem to have no issue selling players to that league - see Ostigard also, for a handsome profit. Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Germany, plus of course the more obscure South American leagues in recent windows, seem to have held far more appeal for the club for incoming...

Yep, somehow our last (and only?) Ligue 1 purchase, 5 years ago now!

I was thinking it was a market/league we’d largely steered clear of since our promotion, along with France I guess, despite being linked with god knows how many players from those divisions in the last few years. It felt inevitable we would see a Serie A player or two heading our way at some...

Anyone know who the last player we signed direct from Serie A was?

Agreed, why wouldn’t we look to upgrade that position with a specialist RB if the right player is available and it makes sense financially? Veltman has been great for several seasons at what he does and will continue to serve us admirably I’m sure, but Pervis has shown us the quality that’s out...

Couple of observations after watching that: Joao Pedro is quite strikingly tall isn’t he? I knew he was 6ft, but must be his physique that makes him look taller. I see they have Sky Sports News projected on a wall in the gym, not exactly discreetly, so I’m hoping they turn a blind eye when the...

I think there’s every chance he’s loaned out next season - he still has a few years on his contract here (assuming we have a one-year option too) so there’s time for him to go and play at a decent level and re-establish himself and in turn aid our chances of recouping a bit more when the time...

Didn’t RDZ come out and say he wasn’t a viable signing for us or was that a different Sassuolo player?

Very keen to see how Carlos might fare against Djokovic should they meet in the final, with a bunch more high level grass court tennis under his belt, following the anticlimactic French semi final.

As a forum we could probably have had a pretty good go at tracking his movements across the entire weekend by virtue of the various flag sightings :lolol:

Just tuned in at random. Fair to say I picked a good one :love:

He would be a tremendous investment for the future based on what he showed in his first season at Southampton. It feels unlikely, however, that he would he would up and leave them almost immediately after such a lengthy lay-off and the rehabilitation that goes with that. That doesn’t really...

The post you’re quoting is over a year old, in fairness.

Not sure Khadra had?

£17m is the fee, Naylor reckons.

That might be the narrative being pushed by those who are set to gain financially from him getting his big move, doesn’t mean it’s true. I suspect he probably will go this summer, but the perceived wisdom is that we’re looking to hold out for a massive fee (ie. £100m+), which is somewhat at odds...

I believe it’s been mentioned on the internet once or twice in recent months, yes.
