Apparently Bailey’s been having a bit of a difficult sophomore season this year, although he scored a lovely free kick last weekend. He does look like a ladyboy too.

Goons linked with an interest in Grimaldo - be such a shame if he ends up there. Quality player.

Been on this for a while now. From the outside looking in, our player recruitment strategy isn't completely clear. When Poch first arrived i thought the focus was on these types of up and coming players, similar to Dele and Dier and Foyth. But I'm not completely clear on if we have moved from that or it's simply a case of Poch not being enamored with the options being offered to him.
I think the key to our long term success is in following a somewhat similar model to Dortmund. They seem to be really good at identifying young talent, developing them, and then sell them at a huge profit. Which in turn gives them money to supplement the squad with two or three more experienced, high value players.

Undoubtedly got skills but a quick search of social media shows that QPR fans have been less than enthused with his work rate or end product this season.

Thankfully I'm going to resist saying anything about Lamela already having that spot covered

Seems like Coutinho is on his way out at Barca. Could we try and swap him for Eriksen ? (Assuming of course Eriksen isn’t signing a new contract)

IMO, in the early days, Levy wouldn't trust Poch with a large transfer budget after Redknapp and AVB, and quite rightly so. Dele was a master stroke but N'Jie and N'Koudou backfired so there was limited success in buying potential. There was also the stadium construction to contend with so funds were closely guarded. Levy now knows what Poch is capable of and they make a good team, so I can see Levy being much more likely to hand Poch larger sums of money if he feels that certain players will push us to a higher level. We need to get the stadium up and running first though.

Fully on the Brandt/Havertz train. Cracking players

Just watching Leverkusen vs Mainz. Havertz has just put his side 2-1 up with a calm, cool finish; running onto a cut back on the 18 yard box and placing it, first time, past the helpless GK.
The 19 year old oozes class, and if Eriksen is indeed off this Summer, he’d be a superb acquisition.
Supposedly Leverkusen don’t sell players to Bayern, so we could be in with half a shout of signing him if we try.

I like Brandt too. Carries the ball well and has lovely balance. Bailey is another cracking talent, although he’s had a much quieter second season at Leverkusen.
Havertz is not only the gem of Leverkusen, but of German football overall.

I suggest following having a read of this list. Ita a top 50 list of talents in Argentina. It’s been compiled by a Buenos Aires based football journo.

If we're selling Eriksen then surely Bailey/Brandt/Havertz are being looked at. Brilliant players and hard working too
