Can he put one foot in front of the other? If so he's better than Dalot.

Just watched a YT “highlight” video and in the first 1:30 I’m seeing a lot of McTominay-esque passing.

Apparently so, but I reckon if we were linked to Hakimi right now people would piss and whine. “Shit defender”, “too old”, “Madrid cast off”…
I think it's just the reality of knowing that whoever we sign will be a dud due to the state of the club.

I reckon Mbappe would look poor in our side.

I’ve become a little defeatist about our prospects recently so I know what you mean, but a good performance against Brentford and everybody is going to feel a little silly and quickly forget this last week.

Very good player who is better than the rb options we have but another signing that wouldn't improve us significantly and not much of an upgrade.

Excellent in Scotland, but would expect him to move to the likes of Brentford, Palace, Leeds etc.

feck me 26 the new 30. Apparently.
Without being entirely dismissive, a 26 year old playing in the Scottish league is hardly going to burst into life and be a top 4 PL quality player.

Think VVD was 24 when he moved, not that big of a difference. CBs peak later though, so maybe it does matter indeed

VVD didn’t go straight from Celtic to a top 4 side, though. He had three years at Southampton and then when he was 27 he did!

If this guy is any good, I’d anticipate him making a similar sort of move to a midtable/lower half PL side.

Yeah fair point. So United over Chelsea :( ?

As good as he may be, the situation around our LB/RB/CB and wing position is pretty damn annoying ... we've got more bodies than we need, mostly average players, can't shift them, and personally I can't see a pathway to the first team.
We have yet to move on Brandon, AWB / Laird, Jones, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Mengi (injured I think), Pellistri / Amad & Chong. We had a bloated squad before, but it feels it's still very bloated despite the departures.

He was playing in Poland a year ago and was not even that amazing here.

Chelsea are looking at squad RBs. Presumably we would be looking at a lot. Azpi is most likely going to be a CB now.

If this rumor was even remotely true it would be first team football vs back up.

Most likely referring to the above report but it's in the Mail now.

The guy played in Polish Ekstraklasa 2-3 years ago.
That alone should be enough to write him off.
Modrić played in Croatian league. I'm not saying Juranović is on his level, just pointing out writing someone off cause he played in Poland is silly.
