Yeah I’d rather we don’t pay over the odds for players, we need to be smart 

We do need to be smart no doubt, but we need to get the right players in. The lad is very good but for that price it looks a bit too heavy. But the proof with be in the pudding, let’s see what else they’ve got up their sleeve and let’s hope they’ve got it right, Leeds clearly rated Diarra. 

they did. questions over his attitude apparently and he's never done it in the Premier league. a big gamble even at £25m. 
sure the 49rs have plenty of irons left in the fire

Could do with a couple more coming in over the next week or so, Farke wanted business done early in time for pre season 

Looking at how we approach the new season.
What`s the thoughts on us going with a back 5 to shore up our defence?
Pope/Ramsdale
Bogle, Rodon, Cresswell (I wish lol) Bijol, Left footed LB
James, Ampadu, Elliott/Hamer or quality, Quality wide player
New CF
That still leaves us with 6 players to come in imo.

farke has never played with a back 3/5. plus if he did james, ramazani and gnoto would be surplus as the wing backs would be wide.

It's not the fact that it's a You Tube recommendation. It's these two guys that do the scouting. They do a hell of a lot of research.


Lockey recommended Tanaka two years before he was signed.
