Will be a fine squad player and that's a good thing, not every acquisition needs to set the world alight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's adding much needed depth that we have lacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good depth signing as you say. PL experience is always a welcome thing and I'd say him being able to play on the left as well makes him a good replacement for Burn who is getting on a bit now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Yeah weren't Chelsea close to signing him last season? Seems like Fred Flintstone and co have that one sewed up unfortunately. Again it's not impossible to get players to choose us over the London clubs, but when the player is already settled there it does seem a bit of an uphill task. Plus whatever way you look at the shambles they've been in recent times, Chelsea were ridiculously successful when a lot of these players were growing up. So they are still seen as a prestigious club to join. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The i are saying that Madueke off Chelsea might be an option for our right wing if they manage to land Olise ahead of us. Can't say I'd be a fan of helping them fill the bank back up after getting a player we were after, and he's not exactly an exciting name. In fairness to him though he is still very young at 22, and he looked like the only player who was half bothered at times last season for Chelsea. If he is seen as a serious option then Eddie and the rest of the recruitment team obviously see something in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6227 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Dhuran looks like he has something about him. Villa have got ~£60m incoming for Dhuran and Luiz + McKennie and iling jnr in exchange. This could be a huge gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
