I thought he was the one who was in Boyzone and then ended up in Coronation Street.

Keith. Shane Lynch was the other one.

If we sign S Duffy can we call him Tin Tin and sing 'Kiss Me' to him?
I’d leave Brighton to stew as they want to keep white who was brilliant for Leeds.

Brentford to target winger Robin Hack of FC Nurnburg, if Benrahma is sold.

Buy Robin Hack before they do (given that they hardly ever sign a dud).

I suspect there's little truth in the rumour but I wouldn't say no to Cantwell

Get Cantwell and if we can keep Jack gives us 2 creative players going forward, personally I think we are yet to see the best from Cantwell, could be a very decent signing.
Hope we do sign Cantwell. It'd be a good move for him (stay in the PL, lots of games, bit of a chance to shine) and for us (take pressure/focus off Jack). It could propel both of them in to the England set up, if we get the right people around them.

I think Cantwell and Watkins would be excellent signings.  I'm happy to start with Konsa and Mings, but we were crying out for a no nonsense stopper like Duffy at times last season and I'm sure he would have improved our squad.

Are we giving up completely on Engles?

I was wondering this. He had a poor spell but I thought he was better than Konsa and still could be. May be his attitude that is the issue.

It’s not if we have it more whether Dean has.  There seemed to be something other than injuries for why he wasn’t used a lot after Christmas tho he did play at Wembley so who knows

I believe in Engles. Something good in everything I see. I have a dream.

Was speaking to a Bremen season ticket holder earlier on. Really rates Rashica and said he thought (the thoroughly despised) Leipzig was effectively a done deal a while ago. He was resigned to losing him and tho he wanted him to stay, says he was effectively too good for them and is their main saleable asset.
Said Bremen would get more money from an English club and it would help them as they needed to dismantle their squad, get rid of some of the shite they have and build again. Pretty happy if he goes to Villa rather than another German club. Said we'd be getting a very good player.

18 goals in 63 games, thought we’d strive for better than that .....we’ve already got a few very good players but need seasoned goal scorers

But he's not a striker, he's a winger.

I’m sure you were told the other day that he’s not a centre forward, he’s a winger/midfielder.

1 in 3 for a winger, playing for a struggling side in one of the best leagues in Europe is very good!

I thought I’d ask why were being linked with Milot Rashica as I can only see poor goal scoring ratio around 1 every 5 games ... thought we’d wAnt better than this ?
Sorry to disrupt ur convo everyone

No idea what stats you're looking at there Daz....in 18/19 he scored 9 Bundesliga goals and 3 more in the cup. They only play 34 games in their season. Last season he started with 9 goals in his first 13 league and cup games (scored v Leverkusen, Dortmund and Bayern Munich) before the goals dried up afterwards.

Still has close to a 1 in 3 scoring record in a top 4 euro league which here would make him comfortably our top scorer.


I was going to make that point myself. A one in three goalscorer in a top class European League is not to be sniffed at. He is an ideal age too at 24.
Take both ur points , just added up his stats from wiki

“He’s not the messiah, he’s a winger/midfielder” . To misquote, someone had to do it!
