On Vlahovic:
1 good season is completely wrong, he's hit double figures 5 years in a row. The 2 worst seasons in that (where he got 10) he barely played 50% of the minutes in the league for various reasons.

I'm not sure if I'd want him, he's more Duran than Watkins in terms of attitude and style but he's a fucking good striker.

Agree with most of that but trying to compare him to either Watkins or Duran is a bit pointless; when fit and on form he's probably the most perfect classic number 9, an amazing centre forward. Edinson Cavani is probably a better shout though Vlahovic is only 25. We can dream.

As above, that was mostly to point out that he's a fucking nutjob. What I meant about style is that, like Duran, he's liable to shoot from anywhere.

Like most Serb nationalists.

Of course he's a nutjob, he's Serbian. Even the loveable Savo turned out to be a nutjob and the less said about Saša Ćurčić the better. Young Kosta Nedeljković appears to have his head firmly on his shoulders but give it time..

He’s not a loveable nut job though is he? In fact, he seems to be a bit of a ******.

Yeah, he is.  A ******, I mean, not a loveable 'character'.

What's he done to upset you other than (potentially) take Watkins place. Have I missed something?

Not speaking for anyone but didn’t he make some sign that was originally seen as pro Serbian nationalism, I thought I read somewhere, probably on here, that it was cleared up as something less offensive?

I've just read it, he really is a *******. He wore a T-shirt with the inscription "Be happy, Serbian race" and a picture of "Greater Serbia", which includes Kosovo. He held up a Serbian ethno-nationalist hand symbol used by fascist militias involved in the genocide of Bosnian Muslims, by the Serbian Nazi government from World War II and by supporters of convicted war criminals.

Me too, that's why I downplayed how much of an t**t he really is because I haven't really kept up with what people think of him.

Kamara is great at breaking the play up defensively, of late he has tried to be more offemsive but doesn't have the pace.

To me, Kamara changed the way he played last season.  The previous season he was a completely defensive player who would drop back to make a three man back line whilst the two full backs played up field.  Last season he became more attacking and often appeared around the opponents area, albeit not scoring many goals.  This was in my opinion one of the reasons our back line was not as impressive last year.

Coppola targeted by Brighton and Aston Villa after first Italy call

Aston Villa are also showing an interest in Coppola, whose price-tag is a minimum of €10m plus performance-related bonuses and add-ons.

His current contract with Hellas Verona runs to June 2027 and whatever his transfer would be the first move away from his home town.
