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.

Well it does seem he has some questions to answer re his views, does anyone know where he stands of the issue of butter on bacon sandwiches?

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.

Most reports on him are that he's not very good with the ball at his feet, which seems at odds with what we're trying to do.

Maybe something was lost in translation.

Bastard, beat me to it.

I don't see Malen as being the standard we need. As an option or for resting players sure but we need to be targeting better quality on the right/up-front. 

I guess we haven't seen enough to know either way but from what I've seen I think he has something and will get chances next season. He's very quick, finds space and commits defenders. Also shoots very early which I like.

You'd suspect that Emery would like to see Barranechea in pre season training before any long term decision os made on his future.

Lost in Translation is great, even if not a lot happens in it.
