Lazaro is a strange one. In our team and in our 541/532-formation his best position is at right wingback. A position we already have Yedlin, Manquillo and Krafth.

First day of pre-season for Swedish club AIK...

Lingard is trying to offload Lingard. He hired Raiola to try and force a move. He has been dreadful for a year, but there is a really good player in there. Surprised he wants a move. I thought he was pleased sitting on the bench at Old Trafford, joking with Rashford and elaborate with new handshaking styles. Will end up at West Ham if he leaves.

As an owner yes. He owns 1/4 of Hammarby. Set to join AC Milan it seems.

You can’t have three central defenders and Shelvey in front of them as a quarter back. The reason you have three central defenders is to build the game via them. Now, with Bruce, they are just giving the ball to Shelvey who hit it long at every opportunity.

Overall the last few games Almiron has been good. Just very unlucky not to score or assist.

He’s probably heard something about new contracts to the Longstaff brothers. The GACP guys have bought a club before. That’s why this takeover rumour is more realistic than the BZG. They have also set up 4-5 new companies related to NUFC just like they did when they bought Bordeaux. Hopefully, but probably not.

They own 14% of Bordeaux. Ok, but the chairman and CEO of GACP, Joseph DaGrosa, seems to be the president of Bordeaux. Yes true, they front the club. I think they bought the club with King Street (owning 86% of the club).

They own 14% of Bordeaux.

I’ve seen reports in the papers claiming GACP set up two companies just before the bought Bordeaux. Wrong. They set up two new companies in June 2018 and completed the takeover 5 months later.

Can anyone ask them on WhatsApp if it’s true?

Joking around with everyone on the training ground. Trying to be a funny guy.

Fair enough. But this is his standard. This is Krafth. I’ve seen him play for clubs in Sweden, Bologna and Amiens. I’ve also seen him play for the Swedish national team. It’s like if someone buys Paul Dummet and expects him to become a Leighton Baines or a Ben Chillwell. Just no. I would love to have a Swedish player at NUFC but I wasn’t expecting it to be Krafth. A more likely destination for Krafth would’ve been Brentford or Leeds. However, I hope he can prove me wrong and become a steady PRL right back. I highly doubt he will though. Krafth is a nice lad and will give his best for NUFC about that I am sure.

No.

Don’t know about that. Krafth told Swedish media Bruce was in the stands when Amiens played Hull in a friendly this summer and that was the first time he (and his agent) knew about the interest from NUFC.

Funny thing is... Bruce convinced Charnley to spend some extra money on Krafth. Not the other way around.

I think Krafth will be decent when it's all said and done. I like his energy and desire. Just needs to temper things a bit, very different league to what he has come from. KaKa out matchday fishing again. It's way too early. And this is one game against a top team with very difficult players on that side man. We'll see. Weren't you one of those writing off Willems as fat and slow after Arsenal. Just give it a rest. Your type are never right about half of your claims every player is rubbish. To early for what? For how many games have you seen him play? Krafth isn’t good enough for the Premier League. I've seen him play three premier league games. Same as everyone else. I’ve seen him play for Östers IF, Helsingborg, Bologna, Amiens and the Swedish national team. From what I have seen and know about Krafth he’s not good enough for Nufc.

He is Championship standard. A good fit for Brentford or QPR. Been saying this for a while now. A good lad but not good enough for NUFC.

Krafth on Bruce: ”A funny guy, joking around with everyone at the training ground.”

Don’t know if Nickson scouted him, but Nickson (and Bruce) convinced the board to sign him.

What hate?

He was the worst player on the pitch that game Krafth is an average Championship player at best. Hopefully he can improve. Yedlin's a Championship player. Manquillo is, too. He's the best of a bad bunch IMO. I liked his calmness on the ball. Checked his WC record and it wasn't as good as I expected. Didn't play in any of the group stage games and then came off th bench in the 80 something minute in the second round and then the 85 mins in the QF. Sweeden did finish top of that group, though, so experience... Okay. Not sure if serious. You think Krafth is the best RB at the club based on only three games? I have confidence he can be because the other two are so weak. Plus, he is starting ahead of Manquillo, no? Krafth is a Bruce signing. Nickson and Bruce convinced Ashley to spend the extra £1m-£2m on him. Of course he is starting. I’ve seen almost every game with Manquillo or Yedlin in it (at NUFC) and I’ve also followed Krafth since his days at Östers IF. Don’t know why people think Krafth is the best option of them Because he’s a Swedish international? Because he’s tall for a full back? Because he speaks very good English? Anyway... according to himself his best position is at right wingback with freedom to join the attack. Always looking to improve his game, has good technique and strenght. But remember, he struggled at Bologna and is second choice at right back in the Swedish national team after Mikael Lustig.
