Absolutely crushed it.

He did crush it. He could be a taker in end game PKs, but not for in-game penalties. If a pen is stopped or bounces back from the post, it is a live ball and we have an open net. Risk not worth taking, no matter how good it was.

Well it seems the pesky cretins on Twitter convinced me this was a genuine story. Hahaha.

To be fair I reckon Brands knows more about football than any of us, I trust the players he goes for.

Speak for yourself. I’ve read most of the first chapter of Inverting the Pyramid.

....but this is the transfer thread. Anyway, we’re in trouble if he misses and the ball is knocked down the other end.

Despite his height and them being the Spanish Burnley I would actually go for him. Seems to be very highly rated be fans of other La Liga teams and journo's out there like Sid Lowe.

A few interesting roumers lately. I like it. Hopefully something cool comes off.

....looks like one of those players you would hate to play against; fast, strong and no lost causes. He could actually be a defensive midfielder given how busy he looks.

Would actually be a good foil for our CBs because he provides what Mina and Keane lack. The height is a concern, but you look at the forwards for the top Premier League teams and they’re built more for pace than aerial power.

No, it was Marcos Llorente. Diego Llorente was linked by the media but wouldn't be value for money IMO. Surely everyone knows I just post about players I think are good?!

I still luv ya Brownz!

I've seen him on TV a few times this season and that's basically how I'd sum him up. He's a bit like if you played Gueye at centreback. Personally I think he lacks the quality on the ball for a top English side, and I think he'd get rolled here far more than he does in Spain. Lots of forwards in La Liga don't really expect aggressive defending and so he's often able to nick in and win the ball before they get set. Players are more used to it over here; I don't think he'd get away with it half as much.
