- Club this morning linked with Pedri (Barcelona), Loic Bessile (Bordeaux) and Jun Nishikawa (Cerezo Osaka) whom I watched at the U20 World Cup last year where he looked very promising. Seem to want to try their hand at hoovering up a lot of young talent instead of letting Salzburg do all the work now further showing the disconnect between the two clubs.

- Poulsen has come out and denied all rumours of him asking the club to sell him this Summer.

More of a winger throughout his career but possibly groomed as a carbon copy of Werner in Nagelsmann’s system?

That feels like a square peg round hole situation but he's a pretty good player so a decent signing if it comes off.

You say that but he’s very similar in style to Werner so many not. Lives in a little pocket inside left like Timo does. Classy player anyway but need defensive mid/defenders more.

I think Werner is closer to a classic striker than a winger, Rashica the opposite.

He is now but he wasn’t originally. In any case when he goes they need someone quick, good dribbler and good finisher and he fits the bill. Pinch of salt mind, not sure they money is there for the players linked now.

It's also a major step down on the finishing front so they need to have a deeper plan. I'm sure they do as they actually seem to know what they're doing more often than not.

He's a good finisher. Werner is a great finisher but his all round game is a bit lacklustre.

Possibly May 9th behind closed doors but there's been lots of opposition to it outside and within clubs. I don't think they want to bother if fans can't watch.

Find out this Thursday.

If it's safe and it doesn't use resources that could be used elsewhere they should start again. We *need* this.
