June 24Jun 24 Seen a few links to this guy in the last few days.DOn't know much about him, other than I do remember thinking he looked good when we played against Palace.
June 24Jun 24 Apparently offering 50m for him.Also interested in Jacabo Ramon. Edited June 24Jun 24 by Sconnie Blue

He looks dependable and solid from what i have seen of him and he is definitely built for our league now.

June 24Jun 24 Looking at where we are with centre backs I think he would be a good solid option. Looks to be a big dominant winner of the ball. As long as Crystal Palace don't try and bend us over a barrel I would be happy with this. Some might say he was the better defender of the 2 in the partnership with Guehi. Heard that Disasi could go the other way which would make it an even better deal.

Our dear sporting directors compiling stats sheets and comparing data without actually watching them play. I mean wheres the stat for how much of an absolute plonker they are? Or whether they regularly fall asleep at set pieces. Fofana would definitely be off the chart on some of them. Driving temperament is an important metric nowadays that's regularly missed.
