Marching On Together

Just the sort of pacy winger we need (9 goals and 12 assists in 39 appearances last season). His wages would be a stumbling block to most Championship clubs, but no fee and £25k per week should be within our remit. 30 years old - we should get Klich in his ear "Bielsa got me back in the Polish national team, he can do the same for you."

Needing players who know the league is a myth, just need to get the best players we can who suite the system.

South America could be a goldmine.

Franchu at Real Madrid is at the top of my list as a replacement for Saiz. He reminds me of Hazard in his style of play.

weasel wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 7:24 pm Yeah wouldn't like someone who scored 10 goals in 21 starts (11 times subbed off, 10 times subbed on so that sort of cancels itself out). 10 goals in 21 matches at a completely new team, in a league you haven't played in, in a country you haven't played in and being short of match fitness.

Yeah definitely not worth considering on a free.

Jeez, the thought of it...

Cjay wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:44 pm Just hope we have learned lessons.

We seem really crap at wrapping up deals for whatever reason.

Buendia, Barnes, James, those 3 players and we'd have been up.

Identifying players doesnt seem our problem, signing them does.

I'd love 1 or 2 talented young south american wingers with flair and pace.

Id even accept they may be inconsistent but it would be exciting.

Kosovo international winger/defender Benjamin Kolloli.

14 goals 8 assists including 2 goals and 2 assists in the Europa League.

Tbf to him he has got quite a bit right, seem to remember he broke Dan James interest in about November.

SG90 wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 5:32 pm They're pretty good tbf, especially compared to some other sites. If Brentford are interested too, then he must be a good player. Benrahma, Canos, Maupay all players I'd have loved us to sign and all on the cheap.
