gdm Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 7 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: I can’t think of an example under Howe where he’s given a young player lots of minutes when he has the option not too. At least not consistently or in the players first season. Isak was only a year older when he signed im sure. Botman too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wong989 Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 Don’t know why weren’t in for him earlier, we needed a versatile player who could attack through the middle, we were shocking some matches last season against poor clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 EL Kannous would be as close to perfect signing as we could make for midfield. Prem proven, young, technically brilliant, and for a great price too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 £29m basically gets you a footballer with two legs these days. If he's any good we should get the deal done fast as we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estoril are my local team. €60 for a season ticket, which is worth it for the Benfica, Porto and Sporting games alone. The Portuguese league is one of the most "oh, i didn't realise he was still going" leagues, at Estoril you can still find Equilim Mangala and Joel Robles. The ultras smoke a lot of weed which stinks out the entire stand, aside from that it's canny day out. Edited August 11, 2025 by Moose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myleftboot Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 Watched a video on El Kannous and his heat maps show he spends a lot of time on the left of midfield area. Possible Joelintons future successor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prem proven, young, technically brilliant, and for a great price too. He does sound like the prefect squad/bench player to use now and develop further. If he's available and wants to come then just get it done asap, the money is there for exactly this type of signing/player, just try and wrap it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Kannous offers something different to our pool and I think that is important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 I think this kind of player has been in the pipeline all summer. We tried to kill two birds with one stone, looking at Cunha and bidding for Pedro, now we're going for cheaper specialists in both positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 "Just sign good players" Well not the ones we've been linked to "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet" Well not ones the cartel want. That's dumb. "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet that aren't linked to the big 6" I don't know why we keep shopping in an expensive market with a small budget "Just sign good players we haven't heard about yet that aren't linked to the big 6 and won't cost a fortune. What happened to our £25-40m sweet spot?" Well that won't work. He's future project and isn't a replica of the unicorn that is Joelinton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
