I can't ever remember us having that sort of horrible midfielder before. Maybe McMahon in the 80s.

Lol! He’s a good player though isn’t he?

Yes, he's a very effective PL midfielder.

I'd have no problem on a loan.

Yes, looking at our squad, I’d like a resilient ****** in our midfield.

Seems like a pretty smart loan given what we’re up against.

Presumably the insurance money from FIFA for Onana will pay his wages.

I can think of loads of horrible midfielders since then. Just maybe not in that way.

I said it before, it wasn't really a bad tackle. Cynical, yeah, but not dangerous. The one on Rogers later was worse.

Anyway if he comes I'll love him.

Yeah, and we probably aren't going to get Peak Dennis Mortimer as Onana cover for a year. We definitely need strength in depth and he provides it. I'm on board with that.

We need a bit more nastiness, anyway.

Oliwier Zych - 22yr old keeper - has joined Portugal’s Vitoria Guimaraes on a season long loan.

He spent last season in the Polish Ekstraklasa with Rakow Czestochowa - initially 2nd choice, but worked his way into the first team. 29 appearances - they qualified for the Conference.

Good career progression.

Playing in increasingly better leagues. The season before he was in the Polish 2nd Div.

It's football, it is built on hypocrisy. Of course we'd love him if he delivered for us.

He’s a decent player and is already transitioned in relation to the Premier League. And we need another body.
