We need some with mobility and physicality.

Arrested for war crimes and set to the Hague.

They probably want him, but don't want to pay for him.

Imagine if we'd had Everton results! This place would be in melt down.

Haven't we been linked with Luka Jovic in the past?

Rice more of an impact on that for me.

Take that, new ground for me.

I think they are very similar, both have been in the PL PFA team of the season, Ramsdale 22/23, Raya 23/24. I think it more of a personality problem myself.

So you think David Raya is better keeper?

So is Villa Martinez a flop too? Arsenal sold him?

Poorly word on my part, of course you can bulk up. But you can't make someone 5' 11", become 6' 3" or make some average pace, become rapid. Take Luke Thomas, he's decent technically but he's never going to have the physicality to be a top level fullback, no matter how hard his trains. You can make marginal gains but not massive changes. Some things are just genetics, Usain Bolt wasn't just a record breaker because he trained hard, he had the right genetics to make it possible. Do you think you could coach Jannick to be quicker? But you can train muscle memory we repartition and coach people to make better decisions. Better decison come with experience and improved understanding.

Are you calling Ramsdale a flop?

I can't see it myself.

I'd take them away.

Maybe let him settle and have a few games. Highly thought of in Italy, already trained with the senior squad.

Different sources have it at 11m, including add-ons, and others have it at 11m plus add-ons.

Because we didn't......

They could have been the only club interested.

I feel this has something to do with his being homesick and wanting to go to the Netherlands to be nearer to his brother.

I get the sense this is more of a club-driven signing than a Cooper one. Cooper seems very focused on the PL experience, which Coady and Vestergaard give you.

The issue is that we need more than a finisher; we need someone who can lead the line, bring others into play, or bully CBs.

Pace, power, and physicality would be my guess. It's similar to what we did when we had Maguire and Evan: We brought in Soyuncu and Benkovic early to bed in for the future.

You can improve your technical ability but can't make some bigger or improve the physicality. You can 100% improve their decision-making, which is why CB improves with age. You need someone who can make the right decisions and play a 10-15-yard pass to feet.

Good luck Sammy I hope you smash it.

He has a bit of Nugent about him.
