It might be true, but I always think saying a player has agreed terms but the clubs still need to is one of those things that’s unlikely to be proven wrong whether the move materialises or not.

Exactly.

It's just a couple of daft herberts taking what's already out there (we've bid and had the bid rejected) and adding their own guff to generate hits.

Next he'll be spotted viewing properties in Curdworth.

I've just seen him in the White Horse having a pint with Monchi.

[Rigadon]

A lot of the clips on his showreel are him playing quite centrally or on the left? Is he actually a right winger?

[Somniloquism]

Yes mostly RW, but he can play across the front. If you want to see how he does as a right-winger, look at the highlights of the Real V Dortmund where he scored and then setup.

[berneboy]

I hope he's quick.  We massively need pace going forward.

Obviously highlight reels might not be representative of actual player. Seems to have some pace over a short distance. Also doesn't get shrugged of the ball easily either.

He looks very decent from that and very much what we need.

I have a bank of videos of me aged from 13 to about 23. The memory bank is of a superb but very much underrated player.

He's spent time across the front three, mainly depending on who else he was playing with. He started as a winger, but in his second season in the first team at PSV they started playing him centrally as their striker (Mitroglou, once of Fulham) was being rubbish.

In his last season as PSV he was their main striker, with Gakpo (now Liverpool) and Madueke (now Chelsea) either side of him and he pinged 27 goals in.

Dortmund then bought him as back-up / eventual replacement for Haaland, but they had about four or five other players all competing for that role, so didn't get much of a look in, and was in and out of the team for 18 months. Since then, he's found his niche playing on the wide right of three with a big striker in the middle.

Good, I’ll invite him round for a coffee.

[Sexual Ealing]

Until I read a credible report of him buying Findus Crispy Pancakes and a cake of lard from Asda Minworth I won't believe a word of this story.

2:34 of that clip and he definitely has the ability to ghost in at the far post!

Our Trez was a master of the far post ghost

[Hookeysmith]

Me likey - make it so

[JUAN PABLO]

Im getting exciting about him and that oscar player from spain , both fast and both play in dofferent positions.

Please make it so Villa.


Imagine those two with duran and Morgan back for everton.. tasty

[N'ZMAV]

Can he play right back

[brontebilly]

Seems a very talented player who hasn't really delivered consistently on his potential. He's going to be a stronger option in the squad for the second half of the season than Philogene anyway and also a bit of pressure/competition on Bailey. McGinn's recurrent injury puts a bit of pressure on us to get the deal done too.

Good summary, the only thing you've missed out is he's very feast or famine. If we really are interested Unai obviously sees something in him that he can work with. Dortmund will be delighted if they can get their money back on him as it really hasn't worked out for him there.

[PaulWinch again]

I’ve obviously not watched a lot of Dortmund but he’s still averaged a goal every 3 games hasn’t he? If it hasn’t worked out for him that’s still pretty decent.
