Had injury issues last year, but even when he recovered, he struggled to get into the Rennes team who ended up in 6th. What that means, whether they'd be better than us, I don't know
Would have been excellent had we got him in the Championship, in the PL he's probably a good squad option. Doesn't sound like he's our first choice.
One of those players that had decent numbers 3/4 seasons ago. So like many of our other signings, if he could find that form again, he would be good. Wouldn’t pay more than £3-4mil for him. Preference would be a loan with option to buy.
Has he got “the skills”? Probably another one who has been pencilled into the keep an eye on him book for the future. Apparently not played since April so sounds our type if we are getting desperate.
Pozzo always gets his man. Even if he was sh!t at Boro and now horrendously unfit, which is why Ismael said he wants to avoid free agents.
In the latest Wobby article, Ismael is quoted as saying "It’s a tough decision each time because I want a player who is ready to play. When they come in I need them to be able to play the next day" so that would surely rule out this guy, unless the club want to piss Ismael off.
Can’t see it. Val wants players who are available to hit the ground running. Free agents in the Jan window rarely are.
We've signed a free agent every year since the 20/21 season. It might not be this guy but there's a good chance it happens, whether Ismael likes it or not.
