Come on knowledgeable SCers, tell me something about him!

Kid wants 100k a week. Not sure if we would pay that.

 

[Trix]

I hear we have been talking, one to keep ? on.

 

[Tucker]

@Univarn can we have a thread please?

 

[Japhet]

Obligatory look on Youtube isn't very encouraging tbh. Sarr looks a load better but I guess you can't really compare effectively from different leagues of different quality.

@Univarn can we have a thread please?

Done

 

[Aphex]

omg @Aphex

Would be exciting if we signed this kid aswell as Sarr

 

[thecook]

You're nearly a month early mate. 'International Talk Like a Pirate Day' isn't until the 19th of September this year .

 

[midspur]

Yes please... who?

Nothing says ‘player who you thought was going to be great but now he’s playing for Ipswich’ like a link like this.

What has he done to be exiled?

Just heard them talking about him on Totally Football this morning. He's got a year left on his contract and won't sign the new one they've offered him, and they can't offer him any more because of their financial situation, so he's out for sale at 20m Euros.

 

[Chedozie]

What has he done to be exiled?

He wants One hundred thousand pounds a week and he’s not first team level yet. Not his fault, he’s seen the deals the other Barca kids have got and wants the same, but that’s why there a Billion pounds in dept.

I followed Barcelona last season, watching around 39% of their matches, and I really wasn't impressed by this kid, Then again, nothing could be worse than Harry Winks...

 

[Locotoro]

What has he done to be exiled?

Refused to sign a new deal.

Do I think we should sign him? I'm not sure, he does certainly have a high opinion of himself and he's not close to being first team ready...but...

This kid will be a £50 million within 3 years. He's very much in the Yaya Toure mould. The problem is he would have to play week in week out to develop and for the club's that can afford his salary he's not at that level.

He'll probably go to a Chelsea who can afford to loan him out for the next 2 years

If we’re really lucky here we could have us a new Giovanni Dos Santos! ?

 

[FloridaSpur]

Quality two footed player, with plenty of pace.

If only we could bring this kid home.

 

[Swalien]

We should get him in if his wages aren't too high, if we lose Winks and Sissoko we will need a bit of depth, hopefully he wouldn't stunt Alfie Devine's progress.
