Dusty Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Was hoping for better, not gonna lie. Good squad player, but does he improve our 11?

Unless he signs a new contract in the next 12 months though, he may well be off next summer as he'll only have 2 years left on his current deal.
wardyfox86 Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 1 goal and 2 assists in 19 starts as a wing back in a free scoring Atalanta side. Got to be more productive natural full backs out there. 2

stu Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Who’d have thought that the transfer of Doherty to Spuds would be the domino effect that would start the process of our first incoming transfer, if it goes through. Just goes to show how complex transfers are in this day and age and our fans need to chill the feck out... 1

Peak FT this There may be more natural productive ones but: 1) they may cost more 2) they may not want to come here 3) they may want to go to other clubs/stay at their current clubs We are not like a club in fifa or fm where you can edit budgets or take over other clubs and force a sale through. 1

VLC86 Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Why do people think we could sign Telles, Tagliafico or Gosens over teams in the champions league? Finishing 5th messes our plans up royally. 4
st albans fox Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Can I clarify that kristoff didn’t say we aren’t actually negotiating...... just considering ...... perhaps a few are getting ahead of themselves ......
Foxes96 Posted 31 August 2020 Posted 31 August 2020 Not sure how I feel on this one. Looks a decent if unspectacular pro. Bit like Dennis or Albrighton. Not opposed to the signing at the reported £15mil but would personally have preferred an out and out LB. Also not sure what this means for JJ if this is to replace Riccy when he leaves next year potentially, would’ve thought he JJ would thought he’d have a decent chance of being our starting LB then.

There must of been 1 or 2 out there they could of got on loan and helped them get over the line. Edited 31 August 2020 by Heymister2015

Younger with good resale value. Romantic it ain’t, but it’s a model we know works and are likely to persist with regardless who is manager or scouting the players. 1

He improves the squad substantially and is extremely flexible positionally- allowing WB should we go 3 at the back (assuming more CBS come in of course) In terms of LB,I suspect yes, he would improve us at that position in the short to mid term whilst Luke grows as a player

If we tie him down to a 5-year deal now, he'll have plenty of resale value at 26 with 3 years left, especially if he does as well here as he has at Atalanta.

Yes, that was my point - he does whereas Telles or Tagliafico do not
