No idea if we'd go for him, but I think he'd be a really good option to cover any of the back 3 positions. He's big, strong, quick, good with both feet, good in the air and pretty composed on the ball. Would strengthen our Korean connection too. I don't really see a downside at a pretty low price. Sure he'd love to team up with Sonny too.

I'll tell you a Downside.

He has a habit of rushing out of defence to try and win the ball, usually unrealistic attempts, leaving gaping holes in behind.

Think Romero, but without the success.

Yes, strong, quick, but I wouldn't want him and Romero in a back 3. He'll need Conte input and then some.

I guess it depends what he's been told to do. I'm sure Conte would address those sort of issues pretty quickly though. Just seems to me that he has a better all round skill set than Sanchez and we'd be quids in with the right deal, and I'm certainly not anti Sanchez.

He may well have improved, I haven't seen him play for a while. Used to see a bit of him when he was playing in the Chinese Super League, you could get the games on Freesports then.

Dunno why we aren’t all over Gleison Bremer for €30m or whatever. Think he’d be perfect for us and seems a good fit for the physicality of the Premier League.

It's there in his thread tbf, his wife doesn't want to leave Italy

 

[Lumiere]

No, we're not

 

[Chedozie]

We’ve been linked to him for the past two years, I don’t think he’s good enough for us now.

 

[yid-down-under]

I’d rather keep Rodon (if he wants to stay that is) instead

When will this rumour Kim Min-Die?

Careful of the anti-pun brigade there!

They might of course want more, but Napoli did sign central defender Leo Østigård from Brighton on Monday

Throw in a Gucci handbag or whatever to keep her sweet!

Yeah I think they may have those in Italy as well though

There has been interest for over 2 years now. After the tour and Sonny's age you could commercially could see why we'd still be interested. Not that I think he's a bad player because he's always impressed with the bits I've seen, but if there is a resurgence in interest, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't magnified after seeing our popularity first hand in S. Korea.

Missed Monster opportunity.
