#thfc U16’s Left sided defender, Finlay Barnard will leave the club and join Aston Villa. Finlay turned down an offer from Arsenal.

Under-16 and already annoyed Leeds and Arsenal? Good lad.

How's he annoyed Leeds? Lilywhites is Tottenham.

I think the thing with Kamara is he’s probably one of our highest earners after coming in on a free transfer, we’d get a good chunk for him and it’d be pure profit. The balancing act is he’s one of our most important players. It’ll come down to whether he signs a new contract.

Aston Villa are interested in Marcin Bułka.@JacobsBen

backup keeper?

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.

Sounds like a head boy from Charterhouse or Gordenstoun.

Youtube highlights for any player are misleading but for a goalkeeper they feel completely pointless.

He also appears to be a massive c***. So it's a no from me.

Yep it’s his character that’s the problem for me.

I was being nice by likening him to Duran but yes, he doesn't come across as someone who'd fit in all that well.

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.

[OCD]

That Marcin Bułka has a market value of £20m on Transfermarkt. Doesn't sound like a backup goalkeeper.

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.

Was listening to something today and they seemed to think that Juan Garcia has a release clause of £25m, whereas the reports I’ve seen linking us with the Lille keeper reckons a fee of £40m. Our overall budget would likely play a part but they reckon Garcia has been the best keeper in Spain this season.
