Probably trying to integrate Rugani into the first team more, who'll be a mainstay of that defence for the next 10 years.
Adam Le Fondre? Young and out of favour at Cardiff. Surprised he wasn't called up by France, but maybe it's still too early for him to be pushing for the senior side Not sure if compensation would be in order as he's under 23
Feel free to shoot me down but I honestly wouldn't mind bringing Mariappa back, I think he would be a good option on the outside 3 in defence (if that is the formation we decide to play). He is probably at a similar standard to Cathcart and with him being home grown it would allow us to loan out Hoban
Ulloa would be a good signing for you imo. Not prolific by any means but he scores important goals for us and has a fantastic attitude. Think he deserves first team football
He wouldn't get first team football. I don't think he's a player who would ever be a prolific scorer in the Prem, or contribute enough all round to be a starting striker. I was surprised when you bought him, and he's somewhat shut me up with how he's performed when called upon, but his role with you is literally perfect for him if he wants to play in the Prem.
Vincent Aboubakar from Porto? Might cost quite a bit but we'll certainly have the money if we sell Deeney.
I seen a tweet from a football agent last night - posting pictures of vicarage and mentioning a meeting with Gino Pozzo. https://twitter.com/battgra https://www.instagram.com/p/BG4oJALunTc/ As someone on twitter pointed out this morning. There is a mention of Matias Fernandez on the Instagram Could he possibly be linked with a move to us? The specific agent is an ex goalkeeper who spent 3 terms with Udinese - so it might just have been a personal call. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graziano_Battistini_(footballer)
Someone on the Pereyra thread said we appear to be targeting Matias Fernandez now, and it does appear to be his official account that has commented under that pic on instagram. I don't know if that's where he got it from. Fernandez is 30, so that would be a bit of a strange one for the Pozzos. I can't claim to have much knowledge of what he's like as a player, but he's a member of the rather-good-at-the-moment Chilean national team, so there's that.
Spurs looking to get rid of Tom Carroll and Alex Pritchard. Apparently they want £8mil for Pritchard, not sure about Carroll but could be worth a punt. Not good enough for them or the CL but Carroll has impressed me in the many times I've seen him played. Definitely a mid table to pushing for Europe player and good do a decent job for us.
I actually like the way Alex Pritchard plays, and he was impressive in the u-21 Euros last summer, but what the ****, £8m?! He's essentially never featured in a top division, and he's 23 years old. Look at the fee his u-21 teammate Nathan Redmond is about to go for, by comparison, for a player who has spent 2 seasons as one of the main attacking outlets for a Premier League club. Whether he is actually worth it on the back of those performances is another question... but the point stands. Surely only one of those huge clubs can afford to take the risk of basically throwing away that much money on a player who will not immediately improve or even get into their starting XI, and who is notably inexperienced for his age, in danger of missing his time altogether, alongside being prone to injury.
Pritchard is worth £2 million at best and would be better off at a Championship club again like Brentford. They just got Wanyama for £11 mill!
Brady in talks with Leicester, shame, would love him here. Interesting that Brady has started following Ighalo on Instagram though, wouldn't have necessarily had them down as football friends??
Brady is also following Deeney and Jurado. I'm assuming that's his official account and not some sick ******* going to ridiculous lengths to create a Brady to Watford rumour. Of course it could be him and he genuinely knows some of our players somehow.
Would love Brady here, and if we were to play with 3 at the back he seems an ideal fit for one of the wide positions going back and forward but sounds like Leicester are sniffing around so would imagine he'll end up there.
With Newcastle signing a new keeper today, I imagine Krul will leave for 1st team football assuming he is fit again but could Elliot or Darlow be a good option should Pants leave for Villa to provide decent cover/competition for Gomes.
I like the look of this Renato Sanchez for Portugal. Only 18 so one would assume the Pozzo scouts have him on their radar.
