[Albion] João Mario

[Ecosse Exile]

Was more a somewhat weak pun on the Super Mario lines. Hey-ho.

Sorry, my bad, should have picked up on that

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Tim Castagne more likely........originally a Swansea target.

I believe so...

He apparently rejected palace earlier on in the window...

Immediately securing a few ‘no dickheads’ points then ��

 

[Hugo Rune]

Tim Castagne more likely........originally a Swansea target.

Four goals in Serie A last season; that’s impressive.

 

[Zebedee]

João Mario? Sign for us?

That old chestnut.

 

[acrossthepond]

That old chestnut.

Very good.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Never heard of him.

I've heard of very few players we are linked with!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Maybe he's looking at Duvan Zapata - we could wish!

Not quite as mad as you may think!

1. His contract is up in next June.
2. At his age - he'd probably fancy a crack at the Premier League.
3. Possibly good mates with Izzy.
4. He is EXACTLY what we need up front!

Nah, what we need is Franky Zapata on his Flyboard. There probably isn't a rule (yet) about having a player who can fly.

Looks a lot like Big Jurg in style of play, movement, finishing etc.

I've heard of none of them.

 

[Eeyore]

He is a defender.

Why haven't Sampdoria recalled him ?

There's no chance he'd come here. One of the top scorers in Serie A and playing European football this year.

And he'd cost 45 million euros.

Someone like Borja Iglesias would be better for any cheeky bid. That would be 28 million euros.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

My money is on the Swansea centre forward

Although there is absolutely no need for the ex-Swansea recruiter to go to watch Swansea players he will already be very familiar with.

 

[Hugo Rune]

He is a defender.

Yes I know, that’s why it’s impressive (although he played in midfield last season.)

 

[southstandandy]

Although there is absolutely no need for the ex-Swansea recruiter to go to watch Swansea players he will already be very familiar with.

That was my thought. Potter must know everything there is to know about McBurnie so would be surprised if the scouts went down to Swansea to have a look at him. Also if Potter really wanted him, surely we could have made a bid or tried to sign him weeks ago?

He is brilliant. But playing in the Champions League next season with Atalanta and if does leave, expected to go to a top, top European club. We’ve got no chance at all.

Now that would be a good target, shame it's just a guess by you than some truth to it.
