All seems pretty legit and not at all made up.

The only thing of interest I noted from this page was that, Graziano Pelle has joined a Chinese side for £12m.

For that money i thought we would have got him as a backup striker.

You want to pay 100k a week to a backup striker?

Tello is potentially a very good player, if the figures were reasonable I wouldn't be against it. He reminds me a little of Lennon, only with a better final ball. That's on his day though, which seemingly are few and far between based on the past couple of years. When he first came through at Barca he was one of the most exciting players I'd seen in ages - his first touch is fucking incredible.

Having said that, he's older than I realised (turns 25 next month) and has never really established himself anywhere, which is understandable at Barca but less so at Porto and Fiorentina where he's been on loan. Worth considering though, he offers the pace and directness we lack in the wide attacking midfield positions, and would provide a different type of threat.

TBH I wish we still had Lennon at the club. Seemingly he burned his bridges with Poch and the squad, but the Lennon we saw at Everton last season was one we could really do with in our squad currently.

N'jie will be like a new signing, he has decent pace and is pretty game smart from what remember at Lyon.

We need clinical intelligent players ie from reports Janssen has those qualities

He's getting paid £330,000 a week.

Everyone is forgetting about N'Jie. Will be a surprise to everyone.

N'Jie is not going to be a surprise to anyone. I think anyone who saw him play could see he could be a great player, but was not quite the finished article yet. Kind of reminded me of Lamela in his first season.

Then he got injured.

With a proper pre-season, he may kick on and fulfil the potential. I hope so, as we lacked direct pace at times a bit last season (still). Also, Pritchard or Oduwa may provide that as well. So if N'Jie doesn't fulfil his potential then there would be a few options, but an extra one who has proven top quality experience makes sense, as none of these have really proven themselves at the top level (yet). Kind of our version of Jesus Navas I guess.

If Tello comes, that could spell the end of Chadli.

I can see why he went.

Yes, and we all loved an on form Lennon, its just that he didn't push himself. Poch, I think, saw this quickly and knew that a player his age who had gotten 'comfortable' would be difficult to get to embrace his training methods and so he got rid. The team philosophy is more important.

Lennon started off great with Everton but if I remember correctly, didn't finish the season as strongly. I think it was probably the right decision to let him go as he didn't seem enthusiastic enough in comparison to the rest of the team.

 

[Disconosebleed]

Yeah you're probably right. It's strange though, because I never had Lennon down as someone who struggled with instructions or had a bad attitude - he always worked his nuts off and was pretty diligent in terms of working back as well as forward, helping out covering the opposition's runs. You'd think he would have fit in nicely to Poch's ethos, but seemingly not.
