Ditto the Jankewitz thing, I think.
I’d heard (not sure how true) he wanted to know if we would be signing (for example) a Chelsea or city equivalent who would further block his path.
Indeed. They have some incredible talent in their academy but that’s the result of (as you’ve pointed out) basically being like a whale eating krill in how they hoover up talent.
I know it’s a contentious issue (I like him) but I would’ve thought, re: The recent Dan Sheldon article, that there would be a fair few clubs who would be interested — Promoted clubs would surely like him.
