Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Chelsea fans used to sing Tore-Andre Flo's surname to the 2 Unlimited "hit" no limits. We could adapt that chant for Mo, should he sign. And, given he's also Norwegian, I bet he'd be well chuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Genuinley excited by this one, he's quality. Quick, bit of a unit - wouldn't say he's small, tricky and a very good dribbler. Also knows where the net is. I love these sorts of signings - star of a team in a lesser league, at a good age. We'll probably sell him in 2 seasons time for double the fee, but if that happens it means he's been a success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvYpQiznHO4 Standard youtube.

Batman Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 I think he would be a cracking signing. It seems an obvious shift back in our transfer policy. Go for very good players in lesser teams who are in the upward curve in their careers as opposed to bit-part players in top sides. Both ways are gambles but the former seems to have a greater hit rate for us Also, players in before out is always good. Still need to get the fullback positions made certain and the contract of McCarthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 Seems like a direct swap for Tadic both financial and position. With Armstrong confirmed (price £4-7m quoted) That would still leave us 35-45m from the vvd monies + whatever transfer budget we have allocated (from premier league /TV) for 18/19 season. Best guess 30m? So £65-75m still to spend potentially + I'd expect some more outgoing (Boufal for example) so would expect our spend to increase accordingly. It's been a slow start but I think activity will start to speed up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to get the fullback positions made certain and the contract of McCarthy That's a good point. The strategy of going for very good players in lesser teams worked for us before - Celtic players (i.e. VVD), Mané from Salzburg, Tadic from Twente etc. I think the club has tried to be a bit too clever in its recruitment in the last couple of years - hopefully these players will work out for us. He certainly looks good on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemina is a central midfielder, Elyounoussi is a winger/attacking midfielder. They aren't really competing for the same role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
