A disappointment this season, though the potential is obviously there. A player I would like us to take a look at is Daniel James of Swansea. His displays in the FA Cup has been phenomenon. His speed on the flank could only help Harry and Deli.
Thought he signed a contract last season? And if he did that's us fucked then cos Fulham will still have a boner for him and Levy won't buy them out of it.
i can see us paying 30M for him, in installments, add ons and performance-based bonuses. but i do expect us to lose out to pool/arse etc who will throw more for him.
we have been after him for a while, i am sure we have build a rapport with him. so he mights chose to come to us if we meet the asking price.
we'll see i guess.
It’s so frustrating that we are not selling players for a premium price at the moment.I wouldn't want us to spend copious amounts based on what I've seen thus far.
But what I will say is that the lad has loads of experience for his age. I mean c'mon he's only 18, are you expecting world beaters at 18.
Plenty of players hadn't even experienced the Premier league at his age, whether you consider his performances good or poor, I'm of the inkling that at least experiencing the prem can only be seen as a positive and gives Poch a headstart regarding something to work with.
Like I say, I'm certainly not of the view we should be laying 50 big 'uns out for this lad, but I can also see that he's very young and has bags of first team match experience.
