Abdullah Sima scored his fifth of the season against Marseilles yesterday. Should be very much a de Zerbi player

Sounds like we got there a year too late. Which isn't like us!!

That's how I see it panning out too. If Bournemouth had gone down, we would have stood more of a chance. Le Fée has a very interesting backstory with his father being a local gangster who was in prison for the first part of his son's career. He killed himself earlier this year...
I think we're much more likely to get Maxime Lopez from Sassuolo - the rumours are not getting away about him coming to us.
He doesn't look that tall.

He won't go to Bournemouth. He's an elite footballer. Also he is a totally different player to Lopez. He's a compete central midfielder, he just happens to be very small and very, very good with his feet. He plays 6 or 8. Rumour Is Dortmund will move for him if they sell Bellingham. Napoli also interested. He isn't going to a team like Bournemouth whatever the clubs connections.

He's my favourite player. I've watched him ten times this season, once actually live.
Unfortunately, I posted this because I saw a twitter post that mentioned our interest. Up until now I'd been expecting him to go to one of the very biggest clubs. BUT, if we can get into Europe who knows? Imagine a cross between Mac and an on song Knocky (in CM) and you're not far off.
It’s my belief that we’ll make £150m+ in sales this summer from Mac & Moises alone (after RDZ’s comments, I’ve given up hoping for either to stay).
If an exceptional player like Pedro becomes available where there is value, I believe we will invest. £35m for this lad for a player who could be worth £70m in a few years is the sort of deal that may interest Tony. We can’t rule out going after this lad.

I totally agree. My feeling is that we are going to be doing two things slightly differently after the success of this season. The first is sign players that specifically fit RDZs formation and style (whereas before I suspect we signed players on data and value alone) and the second is that we are prepared to pay more. Both Le Fee and the outstanding left footed CB Theate (a player a few on here are mentioning) are two players who data wise would be like for like replacements for Mac and Colwill. Certain they'd be in the top percentiles in terms of similarities. And both very suited to our style. Both will also cost well over £20million (and probably £30million) but both represent little risk but huge eventual reward.

I agree that he is too good for Bournemouth but football doesn't work like that. Why do you think Ruben Neves is playing for Wolves? Many players are told where they are going to and have no control over it. Bournemouth signed two players from Lorient in January, one of whom (Traoré) could have aimed for a bigger club.
I think you're being a bit harsh on Lopez. I saw him play live for Sassuolo a couple of months ago and he ran midfield from a deep-lying position winning plenty of tackles and showing a good range of passing. He'd be a fine signing IMO.
Are you his agent?
The sound of Whooosh as this completely goes over my head?

Traore was on loan from Sassuolo until earlier this week where it was made permanent. He has absolutely no link to Lorient.
