Maybe….. Sign him for free and give SD a big cut of the ticket revenue from the friendly.

Benefits us for FFP, and means we can write off some of the expenses for the friendly against taxes.

We’ve been publicly linked to Solomon quite a bit tho, reading that it suggests it might be someone as yet unnamed, ie neither him or Barnes.
If we’re in the market for a direct wing forward and we’re in talks with Leverkusen for Tapsoba I’d be surprised if we hadn’t inquired about Moussa Diaby. I think he’d be too expensive though.

Jadon Sancho has been linked too with rumors that Utd would be willing to sell

I think they value him at around 60 mil and already a number of clubs are looking. I’m sure we probably asked but I don’t see us spending near that on a winger. I’m sure we also looked at the likes of Nico Williams, Xavi Simons, Sancho and who knows maybe even Chiesa (who according to some Italian reports is available due to Juve’s financial situation) but all of them will be too expensive. The only other player I can see us going above 40 mil for is a CB.

I can't see it being a serious link as he is on what £350k a week and not exactly been great , 6 goals and 3 assists I think. Plus he cost them around £73m and they would want to recoup as much of that as possible.

If we could get him for around 30m I'd be interested, think there's still potential there. No chance though.

This lad will get way more assists when he is providing to finishers like Kane, son, maddison etc.

Looks a very handy player, had that great spell for Fulham last season.

I like him but I would also love us to go for Gibbs-White. That might have to wait until next season though.

Yeah. The only way I see us going for diaby is if richie leaves.

Windys not a reliable source and even read what he has said. He names 3 players that are out there including one we just signed, said he knew about another but didn't name him and now he's said there is another name but he won't mention who that is until it becomes public so in other words he has provided no information at all.
Smack's of one of those ITK twitter accounts that pop up every summer

Him on a free plus our top centre back signing (Tapsoba ) or Barnes and 2nd choice CB signing (VDV) ?
I’ll take the first choice.

Handy? He looked amazing!

Highlight video so I shouldn’t have watched, but wow he looks very impressive. Looks almost like an Eden Hazard type. Very impressive close control with both feet (feels like most of these profile guys are very one footed, but not him).

could fit the mold of a player discounted given that he’s from a country not seen as producing major talent.

would be something of a wildcard and the price is certainly right.

That's exactly what I thought when watching videos of him, he has a very Hazard style about is play. Looks a very good player to add to our squad.
Is it a free we'd be getting him on? If so then I say let's take the chance if it means getting 2 of our top CB targets in and then if we sell Hojbjerg, we can use that money towards a replacement like Lavia or someone that I'd like, Caqueret.

he also said there is another on the list that is a secret atm


Hmmm I wonder if it's the same name I got given yesterday (not ITK) the name is out there but AFAIK it's not hit the media elsewhere yet; I doubt he'd be cheap, and I've not seen him but my friend who follows closely rates him.
So I'm going to sit on it for now. I've just checked and the name has appeared in posts on here before but not by ITK
