His spermatozoa have 20 potential.
Let's hope we are watching him then

Him and Mac Allister whilst we get Mount and Rabiot. Not against the latter but where is the playmaker we desperately need
Ive not really watched French football that much this season, but beyong CAmavinga and Caqueret who are/were both perfect for us in my opinion and really stood out, was mentionign Thuram as one looked very promising.
Exactly. There is plenty of talent for midfield across the world if you properly scout. Why we weren’t in for Bruno Guimaraes I’ll never know. He is exactly the midfielder we needed and still need and Newcastle signed him so cheap without any competition.
Was Akandji not linked with us?
The million dollar question since 2013…
Our scouting and data team is looking at the players that have been developed and then buying them over and above the value.
huh? nobody has ever said that in the history of everything
Pretty sure they are doing their job?
This seems to be an apt summary of our state of affairs over the last 10 years. It's not for lack of scouting but lack of interest on the footballing side from the higher ups compared to the commercial side. Hopefully that's changing.
It’s not changing at all. The have a philosophy and it doesn’t involve these type of players.
What’s wrong with being on loan to Sunderland? Why exclude Garnacho?
He’s not in our first time after buying him 2 years ago.
Not sure if the laughing emoji is necessary?Hope he goes Liverpool we can see what the fuss is about.
I remember people on here going crazy about Koopmeiners… Now you’d think he retired from football.
We need a midfielder and nobody has mentioned him in here.
Plenty of young players who go on to be successful at their clubs are on loan two years after they signed. It’s part of their development. It’s actually a great sign that we bought a player who was one of the best attacking players in Championship at 20 years of age.
This has worked out brilliantly for us over the last decade hasn't it? Perhaps we need to re think this approach
You know when people just miss the point. Okay so we need a CM for next season. Shall we just sign a Amad type who will be ready in 2026 then?
True we could just stop it and build a nice PRocess catch line about how we are building a team to challenge the league and Europe in 3 years time and for fans to be patient.
Don’t know, you brought up ”the point” by referring Amad and Pellistri in the discussion. To which I replied.
Highlighting a generic point of why we don’t sign these type of players more often. The answer is the managers needs for them to be ready for the first team as soon as they sign.
Look at the Rabiot and Mount transfer threads. All the people defending these moves say that there isn't much midfield talent available at the moment.
I've never heard of the Davies story. If true that's a sackable offence IMO. We have to stop this nonsense of asking managers to choose players. All the managers have to do is give a profile of what they need not who they need. It obvious that EtH has knowledge about other talents apart from the ones he works with or sees, his knowledge is going to be very much limited.
No one is asking us to sign 16-18 year olds to solve our midfield problem. It's the lack of unimaginative signings who are ready for the first team that we are discussing about.
