No. He's a massive overspend.

How big is the Lyon squad if that was his shirt number?

Hackney really fits the bill. Gets it, moves it forward, picks a pass. Exactly what we need.

They've bought into the system. Analytics based recruitment and tactics - there should be little transition between managers; players will be replaced from within, or with new unheralded signings. They're a fantastically well run club who will have a wonderful financial position to work from.

I've heard similar from a Cov season ticket holder too.

The RW position is interesting. Seems Moyes wants a left footed dribbler to allow for cut in and shoot play - basing this off the fact that McNeil ended up there when he returned towards the end of the season. However, a CF like Barry (or Beto) would surely thrive on crosses, so maybe a right...

Absolutely no chance of us signing Fofana. In the same way we were never getting Cherki. These guys are only interested in CL football. We're a way off buying in that market unfortunately.

His role previously has been fee and contract negotiation on behalf of the clubs he has worked for. He's not part of the team finding the players. More a deal closer.

Some positive feedback from Ted Knutsen's StatsBomb team yesterday on the potential signings of both Barry and Hutchinson - and also the less glamorous Tete & Ndidi (£9m release clause). "no terrible red flags here. Decent shot volume and quality for a young striker on a good but not great...

£40-50m for a #10 when we need a #9 He'll have aspirations of CL football too, think this one is a non-runner.

He doesn't look quick enough to be able to get a yard on his man in the Premier League. That's my concern against him. He's hugely skilful but I'm unsure how that would translate as a #10 when he's getting pressed at high speed & volume.

@chicoazul is too lazy to use google translate for his parody accounts.

Coufal would be more expensive than Tagliafico.

Elite level dribbler. Still a development player though as his shooting & passing have to improve. A big club could pay £50m for him, however we probably can't. But he's a talent and will certainly prove as much in the next two seasons.

He won't have earned high wages previously, so he won't be getting high wages now.
