Guess if being knocked out means he’s more likely to come, we can cheer him on for a Shane Duffy 2 own goals and a red card in order to put off the other teams.
Hopefully ratings out of five, rather than out of ten!View attachment 165429
0-0 at home first leg. Played upfront alongside Cavani according to this. Top rated player for Boca. Seems to be quite Bale-esq positionally?
Where are we with this? Has Citeh or Juventus outbid us?
More than half the clubs in the PL could hijack any of our deals if the player just wants money though, not just teams like City and Chelsea. No wonder we stay tight lipped about targets.Man City still seems to be the front runners. Simon Jones in the Mail claims today that they are going to "HIJACK" our deal "ahead of competition from Juve and Chelsea".
No quotes from anyone or flights being tracked yet though.
I’d say around 75% no wonder we like to do things on the quiet .More than half the clubs in the PL could hijack any of our deals if the player just wants money though, not just teams like City and Chelsea. No wonder we stay tight lipped about targets.

Bit of light fun. Use search, usually works.Well a link to the thread would have been more helpful than that comment - I went back several pages and tried a search before asking and couldnt find it.

Every Little Helps...Indeed. Scouts are not making silly money:
And for some reason, TESCO hire football scouts!?!?

Everyone is going on about needing a LB - and I agree we are light in the interest of rotation and potential injury to Pervis. But shouldn't the absolute priority be to get a RB as we currently have no true RB that RDZ truly trusts?
FWIW I rate both Veltman and Lamptey, and of course the likes of Milner and Gross can fill in there if required, but none are in Pervis' league and it says it all that we are using utility players to fill the gap rather than players dedicated to playing that position.
