Hmmm.

74 goals conceded last season, 3rd worst in the league.

I have doubts.

But he's done well in Steve Walsh's Football Manager save so that's that.

Hernandez to replace Lukaku?

Just No

He's going to be much more expensive than that number. Chicarito has big time commercial revenue implications.

Not a lot out there currently C.

Few little ripples with regards the boy Lemos, but even the Rooney and Martina stories have ran a little cold, are we are a fan of the boy Lemos? Lets ask our South American scout @Brownie.

Was expecting something decent this week, but I think we are waiting for Ronny to come back to work myself.

Swings coming on a treat goat he'll be awhile yet.

I haven't really seen him play, but read he was 6ft 1"? So hopefully won't be completely useless in the air.

Not useless, but 6'1" is not going to cut it in the EPL unless he's paired with someone who's more dominant in the air is my point. But his foot skills are insane for a CB. His free kicks are impressive.

I've just seen that he only scored 11 in 23 this season. So you're probably right that he isn't good enough to replace Lukaku. Would be a good backup striker tough.

By that shout we should go against signing the boy Jordan. I won't go down this path MG.

Well ive had a little look and he comes across as full Mori C, I have concerns.

Think of it like this.

It's like buying Van Dijk but he's better, with more room to grow and much much cheaper.

We would need an utter monster like Koubs alongside him C,

That sounds good to me MG.

Mahrez would be a statement of intent

My thoughts exactly. Lemos looks special in a lot of ways - and he's not weak, he's a tough dude, but he's just not this 6'5" beheamouth that's going to win everything in the air. I just also don't want us to waste our money on a statue in McGuire to do that UNLESS Koeman is confident he can whip him into shape and he still has ceiling. Because I will poke my eyes out watch that Brontosaurus trying and dribble out of the back and just give balls to whoever we are playing all day. His decision making with the ball is suspect and he's a terrible passer.
