No.
Minamino would be a better option: he knows the league, knows Ralph's tactics, is younger, and would have resale value.
Nurse. Get me back to my room. The haddock has stolen my unicycle.
He was touted as potential star a few years ago, and seemed to be making the breakthrough season before last. Incredible how quickly things can change.
What a shit thing to do.
Would be funny he if turns them down because of it. He can't need the ££, or want the hassle, surely?
And what is going on with mangerial vacancies this summer? Is the EPL suddenly not appealing?
Do we know we baulked at the fee?
It is strange that we were linked so heavily to him across a few transfer windows, at a decent fee, but never signed him.
I assumed there was something else, not ££ related that, stopped us.
Thanks for posting.
I love it when fans from other clubs pop along and share snippets and info like this.
Hoping we get the deal done, and looking forward to seeing what he can do.
Perhaps Ralph has a master plan, and will apply the same thinking to fullbacks as he does to the keepers? Rotate the 3 players between the 2 positions.
Genius.
What's not to like? 😵
