I’d be very excited to see this lad lining up for us next season. Fits our style like a glove.

I was going to say that lad in the youth team who we ended selling for (up to) £5m. Mateju?
Then I googled him and we signed him from Viktoria Plzen
Did sell him to an Italian club though which is obviously where I got confused.
Lots of interactions between himself and Amrabat on his showreels.
I’ve read that we’ve asked Fiorentina about his availability. He’d be a great replacement for Caicedo. Not better of course (I don’t know many players who are) but potentially highly effective in our system.

You could have gone hybrid with an NSC staple. I know he is a centre half but can he play Hunch Back?

Yeah we seem to have no issue selling players to that league - see Ostigard also, for a handsome profit.I was going to say that lad in the youth team who we ended selling for (up to) £5m. Mateju?
Then I googled him and we signed him from Viktoria Plzen
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 players since we came up.

Once RdZ gets hold of him, he'll probably be out new right winger

Hasn't yet but it seems likely
As above, I was referring to Amrabat not Igor but my post was a touch ambiguous, especially being in the Igor thread.
Like Igor, his contract is up next year at Fiorentina (although they may have a year option of some sort). The price of £30m seems to have been mentioned a number of times with this player, this is likely to be a third of what we get for Caicedo and could be a very good investment if we are discussing players sales with the Italian team. They seem to be interested in similar players to us.

I thought Amrabat was terrific in the world cup. But haven't seen him before or since
Manchester United and Liverpool are after him..

Amrabat was key to Fiorentina’s run to the Final against West Ham. He made them tick in the games I saw.
Man United were interested in him as a back up to Mount albeit he’s a more defensive midfielder than Mount.

Does Igor have the quality to challenge for a starting spot? He looks decent in those reels but I noticed he was on the bench for Fiorentina in the Conference League final.
Would going after him be instead of or in addition to Colwill or a frontline signing?

I thought he was Fiorentina’s stand out player in the EC final against West Ham.
Bit of across between Mac and Caicedo. A good playmaker & passer with a brilliant eye for the intercept. He is being linked with the like of Liverpool and Manure but I wonder if we could sneak in the back door if both those teams sign other targets.
On the bench then came on and gave away a stupid penalty, and got done by a straight long ball for the winner
Sounds perfect! Seriously, if we are after him, then he will be good. Our recruitment is brilliantOn the bench then came on and gave away a stupid penalty, and got done by a straight long ball for the winner
