NewquayFox Posted 6 July 2020 Share Posted 6 July 2020 I remember us picking up a footballer a good few years ago who’s transfer to a top club had fallen through due to a heart defect, a certain Frank Worthington and he turned out ok, actually one of the best players to wear the City shirt.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does timing buying up property in an already economically weak Spain to coincide with a COVID vaccine, but it’ll make a lot of money 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was about 5 minutes away from being presented as an AC Milan player in January, a superb prospect by all accounts. He'd be a JJ style signing, back up or starter. Nahhh not for me. They might purchase him for that reason but it doubt he would turn out as a first teamed. Watched a lot of the lad and not sure he’s got what it takes. But would love to be proven wrong.

FoxonMaui Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 I’m surprised by the lack of interest in getting this kid in. Watching the video what I notice is that he closed on attackers very quickly and also has the pace to get away from a player after making a tackle. That kind of explosive pace combined with quick feet makes him a top prospect to me. If we could get him on the cheap I think he would be a player suited to our setup and Brendan could coach him into a sensational player. Very little downside to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 He's the sort of signing you can probably make but then still make your money back if he doesn't make it. I'd doubt it though, with Fuchs sticking around and Thomas coming through I think it would be unlikely we'd be after back up. And if Chilwell leaves I think we'll have higher targets.

Leeds Fox Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 23 hours ago, Mee-9 said: Sign him up. Hardly a risk is it. Give Wigan a couple of quid too and try and help them out a bit. Not sure about the current ownership situation but I’d be against giving the Wigan owners anything as a gesture with what’s been going on there. Not nice for the fans but if the owners who dragged them into this mess are still there, they can rot in administration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a release clause there won't be a bidding war, everyone will bid 1.5 million and he'll pick whatever club he wants. Only way it might be different is if he asks for a club to bid more, to help Wigan out or something. For 1.5 million he'd be worth signing then loaning out for a season, we'd make easy profit on him (as harsh as that is on Wigan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest mate I haven't seen anything of him, but purely from a business point of view 1.5 million will be good for us. If he's as good as you say, even better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few million to us is just a drop in the ocean to them it might be the difference between survival or disappearing forever. Didn't Man United make De Laet and James part of the same deal so they wouldn't have to pay a club a £500k sell on fee once?

Nicolo Barella Posted 8 July 2020 Share Posted 8 July 2020 1 goal and no assists doesn't scream Chilwell replacement for me. I think if we do sign him it's as a backup whilst we send Thomas out on loan to hopefully develop to his full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
