Stifler Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 If we aren't willing to pay mega money then I think it would be worth taking a chance on Celtic's Van Dijk. He seems to be after a move to the Premiership, and will only be attracting mid table clubs at best. I'd rather take a £5m-£8m chance on him than any other English CB who will cost that much.

triggs Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Colback and Sissoko wouldn't make a very good holding duo IMO. Neither are good defenders and neither have particular good touch and passing. Sissoko can't be a holding midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are good defenders and neither have particular good touch and passing. Sissoko can't be a holding midfielder Updated it, didn't mean to have Sissoko where he was. The idea was Sissoko to be a forward thinking guy and Colback to play the sit in the middle pinging the ball around and breaking up play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I doubt we're after Thauvin anymore considering his "character". People in France just trying to get some interest in him. If he did sign and did well he'd be moaning about a move in january already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Being a massive talentless donkey is less of a hindrence in the Championship than it is in the Premier League. The teams also love a bit of hoofball from time to time so he'll fit right in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
