i like the look of this Diarra and supposedly we have long standing interest. i imagine that’s come from Thelwell, but i also imagine like in any other job he’s done a handover complete with targets and why they fit for us
if we could keep Gana...
Johnny Cardoso is the man
He would slot right into our midfield and would be incredible next to gueye. He’s so press resistant and has that killer pass in him.
I did think he’d choose Chelsea. It’s the best option imo. Not a done deal yet of course. TBh I was a big fan first half of the season but since then he hasn’t pulled up any trees. Might have dodged a bullet there. I’m not arsed either way. I’d...
He’ll regret that…chelsea collect players like they are going out of fashion. So many get forgotten about or loaned and you forget even played for them.
Could have come here been top man
Oh well move on
Can’t help but think using us as a stepping stone would have benefited him more in the long run.
But a 8 year contract of £100k a week probaly waiting for him. Shame.
Just cannot see the attraction to Chelsea myself. The clubs just soulless and a bit meh. That manager has got “sacked by November” on him
I’m obviously biased but I’d say we make sense for him as do Newcastle (bar Isak)
Has he not passed the eye test for you? Has looked a real threat all of the games I've watched him - runs both channels, tidy link up play, and good movement in the box. Also looks to have a healthy dose of snide, which I enjoy.
Only 22 years...
The hardest position to fill at any club is a striker. That’s why the best ones, command the highest fees and wages. Newcastle struck gold with Isak but it cost them 60m. Alternatively United wasted 100m on Hojlund and Zirkee. Even Arsenal have...
I think Newcastle, Man Utd, Chelsea etc. see a low release clause and a profit in a year or two, where he'd be sitting on the bench.
Hopefully he see's us as starting 9 and go for being a starter.
Some indications of the season he’s had
And
And
Remember that he had a couple of absolute crap games over the winter, and missed a few in the run in with his injury.
In some elite company here.
