One player I’m surprised hasn’t been linked to us if nothing but for the pure laziness of it is Omar Marmoush who seems to be building on his good season last year. With Mo’s contract winding down and Nunez not looking like he’s gonna kick on it wouldn’t surprise me if we had our eye on the next Egyptian Prince. Extend Mo and sack off Nunez and let him have a couple of years with the greatest African player of all time.

 

It won't look like such a smart move when they both go missing in December for the Afcon!

United have a buy back clause of around £17 million which might be a problem. 


I think that ship has sailed for them, I doubt they’ll be offering £17m in January when they can get him for free in July.

Why would they get him for free in July?

 

United have a buyback clause, so if they offer £17 million, there's nothing we can do?

Ignore me, I was thinking we were talking about Angel Gomes. 

Yes, you’re right. We’d have to offer him more attractive terms / project.

Can he do the fandango?

Liverpool are interested in defender Loic Bade as a replacement for their Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk, 33. However, Sevilla will not listen to offers below 20m euros for the 24-year-old Frenchman.

 

Two years ago he couldn't get in Nottingham Forest's team, now he's the new Van Dijk?

Virg was at Groningen at a similar point in his career. Players can develop and get really good after 20 sometimes. Not entirely unreasonable. Or he could be shit. Flip a coin?

If my French is correct then Loic Bade loosely translates to Look Bad. Not a great sign.

 

I like Murillo at Forest. He’s not the towering defender we’ll likely be looking for but he’s decent in the air. As always he would be in addition to Virgil and not replacing him.

Noticed us linked with Pablo Barrios, the young central midfield player of Atletico Madrid. Can't see it happening because he'd cost an arm and a leg, but he'd be an awesome acquisition imo. He's one worth breaking the bank for.

 

Also seen rumours of Nico Schlotterbeck, the big left sided centre half from Dortmund. He'd be another excellent pick up.

If we’re looking for a 6 that might stop a lot of things, we could do worse than taking a look at Bad Gateway. Of course everyone would be after him if his name was Puerta Mala and he played for Real Betis.

 Pablo Barrios has a release clause of around £42 million which is probably what has got us interested.

Hearing that the insistence of 502 as a squad number would be a major problem in getting Gateway to join.
