Tbf, I didn't say find a good American. Any cunt with luminous teeth and a first name that sounds like a surname will do.

 

Do you really want more American fans though? Have you seen the Yanks that post here, like?

He's not really a punt though. Assuming the reports are correct, we've scouted him extensively and have been interested for quite a while.

 

Would we rather have him and £33m to spend elsewhere (eg on a midfielder) or Elanga at £50m? 

I don’t know. Elanga had the third most assists in the league in a super defensive side and can get better. Bakayoko might never get near that. If Eddie and Co are unconvinced they’ve earned our faith I think.

I mean if he is going for £17 million after apparently being the next big thing you have to think he either has a bad attitude or is shit. 

 

:facepalm:

 

He's in the final year of his contract.

This will be so annoying if he goes elsewhere in the Prem and does well. He's a talented player and is still so young.

 

We were supposedly keen for a while but got put off by this past season.

 

But I think it was a bit of a weird one because I don't think PSV were happy with him not signing a new contract, and so messed him about a bit.

 

This fee is crazy low, and if we saw something in him previously, surely we ought to have another look?!

 

 

Aye, it can be very frustrating missing on seemingly great deals for popular young talents while we're fixated on expensive established PL players. Compiling the manic shortlist, it's evident for me, that pure football ability and potential is simply not enough for Eddie. Not even, coupled with physical qualities and a decent fee. Imo, the main thing that our transfer team is fixated on is personality and character. 

 

Although I've spent hours defending Eddie that he's not obsessed with british players, I think there might be a preference for local players after all. Simply because we can collect much more extensive data on their personality, background, entourage etc.. than we can from some dodgy foreign agent. I might be wrong but I think we simply lack the business connections the top clubs have in the european market, so it's harder for us to guarantee that some young millionaire is not a complete twat.. which reminds me of Bakayoko's wiki picture :lol:

I think it’s just because he’s had a very poor season and is a bit of a risk, even at 17m. He’s honestly looked awful for 6 months now.

 

We have the money to push on and buy a real PROVEN quality addition for that right-wing spot, which is what we’re going to do imo.

You know what, that picture has swayed me. Wannabe gangsters covered in bling... do me a favour. Pass.

He was pretty pants in the Champions League this season like.

He's wearing a necklace a watch and a pair of sunglasses...

And an earring. He might as well have 'gang member' tattooed on his forehead.

 

Serously though, the red flag is using two hands to hold his phone. Who does that?

We’re tantalising close to a team who can challenge top 3 imo.  Really hope we go for it this summer 

 

Think what I like about our chances of this is we play a brand of football that upsets the bigger sides who we'd need to take points off to achieve that.

 

Other sides try and just play the same brand of football better vs the top sides whereas our style and identity is uniquely different.

 

There are teams I dread to play because theyre bogey sides, but not one single team now that I don't think we can beat, and not because  it's an 'on our day' job, because we're good enough to go toe to toe with anyone now.
