SuperSAINT Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 Yeah, I think we've outbid Anderlecht for him but we need to offer more. Might be wrong though. Shirt no 12 is free, though... I guess they want him to replace Praet. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 He's a quality player. I've only seen a little bit of him, but I'd be tempted to make a move based on what I've seen. Looks quick, powerful & direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like exactly the sort of player we'd sign to be honest, development potential and raw ability - would probably only initially be a squad player, but could develop into a star.

Chez Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 Should have signed him last January (HCDAJFU) and saved ourselves a few bob. It was obvious to anyone that watched him that he was a talent. Sadly even the likes of the of the scousers have him on their radar. I've seen him quite a bit and can say, although not the finished article, he would pose a threat straight away, if not perhaps the final ball or finish. He has great pace and is very direct. He wasn't short on confidence last season, but at the moment he's off the scale taking on anyone and everyone. He's also bulked out a fair bit since last season, which makes me think he might be effective immediately. Having said all that he doesn't feel like our kind of signing.

tajjuk Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 Like the look of Stancu, only a youtube of course AND only Romanian league but size aside (though he looks like a stocky player that can take a knock or two) scoring with both feet, long range, free kicks, dribbling, looks a promising talent. I don't know why, but I've always like signing Championship players and it's something we don't do enough of. I don't have my nerdy spreadsheet to hand, but who were our last signings from there? J-Rod & Clyney? Jay Rod and Clyne, but also remember Spurs got Bale of us from the Championship, Walcott and the OX as well did all right from the lower leagues. Not to mention Deli Alli. Plenty of talent there, especially as it's a hard league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 AR10 just posted this on the Fonte thread: There has been NO bid from Manchester United or any other club for Jose Fonte at this point in time and neither is there expected to be. I realise there are 2 threads running so I'll inlcude this one here and that is I'm led to believe that the club have virtually completed one signing and are in advanced stages on a 2nd, nothing I have seen suggests there will be 3 signings coming into the club. Keep in mind, the transfer window is coming to an end and the usual paper trash /agent spin will be heightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 I feel like two from 3 if Rodriguez is going. You could be right. - Stanciu & Boufal are genuine No.10's. - Ghezzal is more of a winger.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 22 August, 2016 Share Posted 22 August, 2016 Boufal and Haller would probably be my best case scenario. Or Boufal and Ghezzal if we're going to go back to the 4231. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
