Quite funny really - we sign a Chilean International who can't speak Spanish (or any native Chilean language) ....

I think he can be forgiven for not speaking any native Chilean language as 99.3% of the Chilean population speak Spanish.

He should certainly learn the latter language though, you surely need your international players to speak the language of their team?

I can’t recall not being able to understand an England player when they’ve spoken (except Gazza of course) but Owen Hargreaves’ accent was bad enough.

Indeed. But be careful. I recently criticised the Leeds messiah for being unable to speak English to his disciples.

I was quite surprised by the number of contributors who didn't see it as a problem.

Seems to know where the back of the net is.

In the Championship yes, but so did his fellow Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong, and he hasn't exactly carried on scoring freely since his move to Southampton last summer.

That said signing any striker will always carry it's risks, and l do like the look of this guy. I hope it happens.

He is rarely wrong . . . sadly.

I would not read too much into that the club are hardly going to leak information that says we are looking at a player 3+ weeks before the window opens.

I thought i'd stumbled into another Sanchez thread

He doesn’t have to be. Just similar standard, different style/skillset, and importantly better than the likes of Connelly and Locadia whilst being fitter than Welbeck.

Exactly. Someone with the pace to run in behind will also make Maupay and Tross more effective by creating more space.

So, £19 million then?

When Forest were selling him to Blackburn - One of the Forest fans said he would rather have Tomer Hemed that Ben Brereton - See link

https://www.forestforum.co.uk/threads/45494-Ben-Brereton-Díaz/page79?highlight=brereton

Obviously Brereton is probably a bit older and a better player now so £23m might be about the ''going rate'' for him now

Until he back tracks why does anyone listen to this clown he did a whole piece on Gonzalez and then his agent said there was only an enquiry from us Which I believe as we won’t pay over £20m anything more and the wage structure collapses.

This looks worthy of a bit of digging. Suggestion of a family link and not trying to pretend to be a secret scout. I don't instagram, which limits my ability to dig into this stuff.

Basically claiming the move is on and a fee of £14m agreed.

He’s usually correct when he says that we’re not interested in a player.

Indeed.

Just look back to Edouard in the summer. Plenty of fans wanted to believe the Scottish tabloid so badly but Naylor stood his ground.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Who’s up for one of these?

If we get it done before he signs, it’ll make it more likely he DOES sign!

Thing bout Naylor he rubbishes Twitter rumours yet never gets an exclusive I could do the exact same , he has no inside intel.

I'm going to continue to stick with the old adage, believe nothing to be true, until the player appears on the club website holding up his new shirt.

One way to do it, but some are signposted from a mile off, like Cuccerella, that you can get excited about with a fair degree of confidence
