If we get this new striker in Traore would be perfect for him. He might have to stand in Asda car park but he would get on those crosses....
I think he honestly thought he was Barca bound, hence not signing a new contract, the embarrassment must be crushingTraore is destined to go on a free next year to a promoted team, mid table La Liga or a championship club. Think he will struggle to get more than what is he’s on now, definitely won’t get it outside the PL. Bit of a fall from grace rejecting a long term 60-80k p/w salary to the scrap heap.
He seems a decent enough bloke, he probably won't need to be reminded of this (not meaning to chastise you in any way, to be clear).I think he honestly thought he was Barca bound, hence not signing a new contract, the embarrassment must be crushing
Not on the wage arsenal would offer though I’d imagineHe has a 5 year contract currently!
Them and Southampton supposedlyJoao Pedro going to Newcastle? They were the main competition for Ramos weren't they...
I fucking loved our relationship with Mendes this time last week.This is just me howling at the moon so not worth responding, but I fucking hate our relationship with Mendes. I totally understand the benefits - we saw one last week, but him using us as a trading platform to further enrich his already creaking bank account makes be bilious.
I wish we were run normally with an enterprising Chief Exec and leading edge recruitment team, who may from time to time deal with the worlds biggest agent, but if he were actively shopping one of our players to another club would tell him to fuck off.
That's an encouraging read. If we sign him.Apologies if already posted. Sounds pre injury Raul stylewise
Good article that. Seems the type of player Lage wants and not a bad fit for us.Apologies if already posted. Sounds pre injury Raul stylewise
Doesn’t really matter. Five year deal means we can charge the absolute earth, moon and stars.Not on the wage arsenal would offer though I’d imagine
