His name is Dion, I'm sold.

Me too, but if we don’t sign him, my heart will go on.

Unai has already flown over for informal talks with him. Lopy's response was, "ne partez pas sans moi".

From a quick google he'd need to work on his discipline, 4 reds and 46 yellows in 166 games.

His discipline really is bad if he’s giving away pens before he’s even signed!

We only had one red in the league this season. Those are rookie numbers.

Just looking at other bits and pieces of transfer news. Gabriel Sara incoming, Tyrone Mings off to Turkey. Not sure about the quality of the links to be fair.

Team Talk claim Borussia Monchengladbach stopper Moritz Nicolas is their top target to replace Maartinez. They say that Villa have “opened talks” with the Bundesliga club over a potential move, and that he could be available for just £13m due to a release clause in his contract.

How likely do people think it is we want to spend a chunk of our limited cash on a keeper?

It looks like Martinez is staying next season, and Bizot has shown himself to be a dependable and likeable backup. Unless there’s an opportunity to sign a young up and coming keeper we think will be Martinez’s long-term replacement…

I reckon goalkeeper is very low priority. We’ve got a great first choice and a very strong back-up. Age is the issue but I don’t think it’s an immediate problem next year.

Gauci doesn't look up to it, would be nice to have a promising goalie in his 20s.

We were  linked to Moroccan  world cup u20 winner,Benchaouch,who will be out of contract at Monaco.
Like the look of Dion Loupy,seasoned professional at 24  who looks ideal for the Prem. A physically imposing DM with a good skill set.

With Mustapha Hadji still to come good, as I know he will, it'd be a good idea to get another Moroccan in. They're excellent people, and they all know someone who sells weed, in my experience.
