Once again, never heard of or seen him play. Mirror article states that Rafa is 'willing to take the plunge on him' after hearing good reviews on him.

 

Doesn't seem as pleasing as the Semedo deal.

I wonder sometimes how many of these links might be bluffs by the club to try and loosen the resolve of their primary targets.

This lot are embarrassing when it comes to swiftly sealing deals for primary targets, compared with Fletcher & Shepherd.

 

Look what happened the last time we did business with Sporting, and they have a track record of not allowing top prospects (from their academy) to be sold for peanuts. Shepherd flew to Lisbon and wrapped up the Viana transfer, almost overnight, because other suitors were in the race. Under Ashley we're always f***ing about, trying to secure perfect terms - this is the culture (under Ashley) which Rafa is up against.

Maybe Rafa is bringing Lejeune and Semedo in to compete with Clark and Lascelles, with plans to switch Mbemba to DR or DM, or to move him on? The new lads started out as DM anyway so they could be an option if Hayden is unavailable.

 

Anyway, the window hasn't opened and we are already having progress with a few players. That's some improvement over the past and will give Rafa more preparation time to gel them into the team.
