£19M price tag, yes, we might have gone for that - but ex-Chelsea, ex-Liverpool - I imagine wages would be way, way above our maximum (and I think we've got one or two on 'top earner' deals, haven't we?)
He's only 21. He won't want to come and play in our U23s for the next 18 months/2 years, will he? Suppose he could do a job if Connolly is going out on loan, though.
This will ultimately come down to how big a wage packet him and his agent want. Remember, he's been at Chelski, so probably considers our wages to be something akin to Universal Credit.
Yep, would welcome him here with open arms. I think we may be slowly working our way to more like a 4-3-3 set-up anyway. Our wingers, although good defensively, haven't often put in match-winning performances, and our midfield has sometimes got over-run - so in a way it must make sense to play...
