I remember a league 1 manager faced Man City in the FA Cup and said the biggest surprise was how quick they all were. Their fastest player couldn’t beat Man City’s slowest player in a foot race.
The step up in athleticism in the premier league is insane.
I think Scouted Football put out a graphic of the most dangerous U23 dribblers in Europe. Top of the list was basically Yamal, Doku, Fofana at Lyon and then Gassama. 100% worth a £2.5m punt on someone like that IMO.
I get your point but he’s a profile we don’t have in the squad. That combo of blistering pace and dribbling is so dangerous, like we saw first-hand from Mayenda in the playoffs.
Genuinely stunned by this signing for Norwich. Very very good striker and a rumoured fee of £12million!
Apparently turned down Lens who finished 8th in Ligue 1 last season.
Pete O’Rourke doesn’t work for FLW anymore. The David Sousa “exclusive” was written by a 25yo editorial assistant who’s never worked anywhere than FLW and the whole story is piggybacking off The Athletic who wrote about Swansea having a bid rejected for him.
