Any news?

and the fact that Lazio were trying to persuade him to stay, so I suspect they'll ensure we will have to wait till 1st July before they allow him to become our player.

He's just mucking out Shergar mate.

With Eze's and Olise's injury records, he's likely to get a reasonable number of starts and would also probably be used (along with Franca?) as an impact sub after, say, 60 minutes or so, thereby helping to ensure that our two stars don't get overplayed.

Let's not forget that Glasball is very demanding, requiring a level of fitness our players won't have been used to under previous managers, and whilst they did very well in the final half a dozen games or so, it's a different matter to ask them to play at an intense level throughout a whole season without squad players being heavily involved to lighten the load.

There was also Sako and Sakho too, with there even being a rumour of us trying to sign Diafra Sakho at the time.

Having watched clips of him playing I think he can play alongside Wharton in a deeper position or further forward like Eze and Olise.
