Theres 3 somewhat similar players out of contract in the summer...
Kessie from AC Milan, 25 years old and walks into most teams. I think he wants £150k a week + signing fee. That would be 'the' statement blockbuster signing that id say puts us into a permanent 'top 6' level once we add full backs and a right winger...absolute class.
Zakaria: Very, very good player but had a major injury and one or two smaller ones which have set him back from becoming one of the big name players behind Kessie.
Kamara: Marseille who at 22 is the youngest of the 3 and a real diamond. Can play centre back and full back but over the last 18 months has made a name for himself as a defensive midfielder. Wouldnt surprise me to see him going to Man Utd.
For me, if we cant attract/afford Kessie then we go for Kamara who is going to be a really good player for his next club. Zakaria is good but the injury is a concern and i think there will be higher potential alternatives.
Well obviously they’re trying for a RB, just trying to agree a fee for the Scottish kid
Yeah, its more that within a week of Benitez falling out with Digne we suddenly get a replacement....but its taking alot longer for the right back weve needed for ages.
I do find it odd that weve not just taken Ramsay from Aberdeen for a small fee...in addition to going for patterson.
He is also extremely small, no thanks for the money they would want!
Imagine if we played 3 at the back and had Livramento at RCB and Lamptey at RWD.
Its amazing to me that Chelsea let both players go...if they want Digne then surely theres a player we could swap him for from Chelsea....like the boy on loan at Palace.
