He's quit. Has started a new job: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/i-wouldn-t-want-england-s-starlets-to-repeat-my-mistakes-1-8272387
(Saw him walking around Finch Farm with Theo on SSN, so wondered what was going on).
SSN: Stoke City are in advanced talks with Galatasaraay over a £15m purchase for Senegal midfielder Badou Ndiaye, Sky Sports News has been told - but it’s emerged they are facing real competition for his signature from Inter Milan.
Looks like a bit of a speedster. Cool finish on him too. He's certainly doing well for the U18's.
The others you mentioned are obviously older & different sorts of players. Will be interesting to see how Obafemi does if he breaks into the U23's (which I don't think he's played for yet!)
What I worry about most about this one is another Palace-like result.
Can see us starting well, maybe scoring... Then doing our usual. They've got some big players.
Murray is the prototype striker we hate playing against.
Perfect sort of signing for us. A player all the big guns look at who don't think is quite ready yet.
With money to spend, we should've thrown out all the stops.
Would be hard to imagine that when you input our requirements into the black-box for a speedy wide-man & an alleged £30m to spend that it would only throw up Theo & Promes as results.
I fear we don't have a back-up in mind.
If that's the case and after signing only Carrillo during a month where we've sold VvD for £75m would be pretty sh*te.
So he made his debut for us last weekend at 17 years old.
O'Neill says they are watching him already...
