I've heard he is really good at spreading the play. He wouldn't be a high Urner either, so that's a positive.
Hopefully opposition wingers won’t have him on toast.

I honestly don't know anything about the lad, so don't have an opinion, more the overall recruitment we have been doing the last few yearsIf he signs I'll wait and see how he does but for me we shouldn't be taking big risks on starting 11 signings.
Squad players fair enough have a punt on a Demari Gray type but if we cant bring in a RB with pedigree would rather we stick with Coleman and keep our powder dry until next summer when we can go out and afford a good long term option.
At this stage I would take a cheap punt rather than settle for Coleman at right back who we know is going to get rinsed all season. It’s literally all we can do, we can’t afford a top right back.
Of course but it's not like we haven't invested in that position.Just because we paid that doesn't mean that they are worth that.
They would give us a ten point deduction, a transfer ban and orders to lower our outgoings.Would fans be happy if we tarnished our rep and just took the fine for ignoring PL FFP? Or do we need to wake up and stick with this new approach? (not overpaying just to get a name, lower fees instead of the bare minimum £24.75 mill per player).

Selectively though Eggs. He isn't the athlete he was, and even if he stays relatively injury free he doesn't have the legs to bomb up and down the wing anymore every game. He's a 1 in 2 at best.…not sure Coleman ‘gets rinsed’, he was effective for many games last season & had a positive impact coming off the bench. Whilst he’s not what he was, the key issue is him is staying fit. We certainly need a progressive signing at RB, but Coleman can still do a reasonable job.
Rondon: 11 goals in 32 games for Newcastle
Kean: 2 goals in 31 games for Everton
Dont fall into the trap that many do on here and form an opinion on a player by their age/how sexy their name is.
Rondon on a free transfer would be reliable back up off the bench and suits the lone target man role miles more than Kean who looks like a pub player when up top on his own.
Just dont think he sounds the quality we need as a 1st choice RB.
Sort of player for me who you could take a punt on as back up like Nkounkou but wouldn't feel confident in a 24 year old from a farmers league who's never played higher than the Portuguese under 20's coming in and getting thrown into the deep end in the toughest league around its a risk to say the least...
He was alright.
Underlines how our standards have fallen when we see his contribution as special.
Not quite. How much, if any of a sale goes to the P&L depends on what the book value of the player sold is at that point.We can if we SELL players. Which im sure we will be doing.
Also, dont forget four things:
1: Selling fee is shown on the books immediately. Purchase fee is over the length of the players contract.
2: We have players to sell...im confident we will make sales.
3: Italian sides do what we offered with Dumfries. 1 or 2 year loan with an obligation to buy.
4: Dumfries isnt actually very good and supposedly preferred Inter.
Youre asking me to add up hypothetical transfer fees of players?
Im sure you can do that yourself and it will be far higher than £275mil.
Its the hope that kills you, we all thought we were going to follow the Atlético, Dortmund model of buying young talent and selling high but Brands seems to be redundant - instead every Moshiri appointed manager is allowed to break that model and buy 3 of their own picks. Yes on Aarons/Emerson or Baku for rb but not on McNeil where you going to play him. Need natural rw not another lw. Howd Antony play throughout Olympics - seen Malcom back in mix and got minutes.
