Traore is a modern day Darren Huckerby.


He was one of my favourite players when i was younger, one of few names i got on the back of a shirt! Quite the compliment to Traore if you ask me!

Seriously though, he's been through the Barce Academy (good football education) and Pep could get some technical improvement from him surely? Not sure he has a left foot though. Jesus Navas on steroids?

Navas! What a frustrating player. Never beat the first man with a cross.
Weird one - he was a decent squad player to have, but I reckon in 10 years when people say "remember Jesus Navas" fans will say, "no not really".

Navas is holding down the full back position for Spain so he is not doing too bad. I agree on Traore, raw pace but not a lot else unless he is running at our non-existent cover and back line

Haaland has 5 goals in 57 minutes for Dortmund! And he has 6 hat tricks so far this season. Its fair to say the lad knows where the goal is. After Mbappe he has yo be the hottest young forward out there.
Be a phenomenal signing

The thing is he doesn't miss a sitter, while Gabby needs 6 to score one.
At the moment, the defences are terrified of him. I can't imagine when a defence was worried they are facing Gabriel Jesus.


We're all spoiled to fuck.
In all time PL goals per minute Gabby comes in a no 6
We all know who no1 is, which is why we're spoiled to fuck.

Hes shit at headers , Cannot score a penalty to save his life and he needs numerous chances to score - hes been a match winner once that I can remember.

Food for thought - compared to other teams supporting acts for their forwards ,our forwards are spoilt as fuck when it comes to the chances that's laid on a plate for them by top class players that provide those goal scoring chances.


P.S nothing wrong with being spoilt...we all like to give the Mrs a steak dinner now and again when she swallows ffs !!

I see we are showing interest in Eduardo Camavinga, 17 year old , playing for Rennes.

Looks like he would be the perfect understudy for Fern.

Great , strong tackler , with few of the petty fouls shown there in his you tube collection.

I don't understand why some folks on here are against signing Sancho if Sane departs? He's closest talent to Sane in terms of pace and unpredictability. Yes he left us under bad terms, but can we really blame him? Just ask Foden and Garcia what they're thinking, can't get in front of some of the dross in front of them

Him, Haaland and a top defender in the summer will do nicely.

Haaland won't go anywhere this summer. Sancho is a high possiblity - if we have a buy back on him we'd be stupid not to use it. He'd improve any of our rivals massively.

Can’t see either of them leaving Dortmund this summer to be honest. Both would improve our first XI though, which is no easy thing

He was never rocking up at the swamp - fair play to them and their friends in the media. They were way off with the asking price and wanted add ons based on winning the champs league - fucking likely they are not going to be participating with the troll at the wheel any time soon
