I know what you mean. It’s so hard to judge a player, so many people go either way from a highlights reel. Personally I was a little concerned by a couple of weak clearances direct to the opposition on the edge of the box and some of his control as the ball pinged all over the place. But we has little influence over things and just have to keep our fingers crossed.

I get what you're saying, my man. And that's a good & fair point. That said, I think with Madders it's more a case of fans of opposing teams being so sick of being done by him & Leicester that they made him out to be a cunt. He's got that kinda face too and he's never been shy about trolling fans back. But you talk to his previous clubs and their fans, they ain't got a bad word to say about the lad. Also, he's been doing the business for years in the PL, his talent is a guarantee. Heck, we know what a true gentleman Harry Kane is, but you talk to fans of our competitors, not even Woolwich/Chelsea/Spam, they friggin hate the man...but it's just cause he destroyed them time & again.

Todibo's left a sour taste at Toulouse, Barca, Schalke, Benfica. I can also tell you there are a fair few Nice fans who wouldn't be too distraught at the idea of selling him for a decent bag. Fans of the NT still not too impressed with him laughing during a minute's silence...and his lame ass excuse afterwards. There was the Galtier affair too. Even the lad himself has acknowledged to acting a right brat earlier in his career...but obviously that would tend to show he's matured a bit.

Were he to sign for us, I'd welcome & support him, obviously. I'd want him to be a success here, cause that'd mean the team is doing well.

But right now, you gimme a choice between Todibo & Dragusin, I'm going with the Romanian every time. Call it the Ndombele legacy, but I'm just not willing to take a chance on a lad with that many red flags to his name.

Yup. Bang on about madders too. Never a question over his ability, commitment a d work ethic. Just that he’s a twat on social media and had bad mouthed us and some of our players over the years. Think he had to eat a little humble pie coming here but he has won most around.

Not sure what the chart means but if size matters then Todibo’s is bigger.

Unless Nice isn’t willing to sell (they are in the title race in Ligue1) or our scouting team/Ange has concerns about Todibo’s attitude, we should go for Todibo even if he costs a bit more.

It’s obviously a bullshit chart, as Dragusin has not only completed 9.4% of passes or 7.2% progressive passes, or 18% forward passes, or 16% defensive actions…

Anyone know much about this fella? Hoping he can press really aggressively like prime Mane - any similarities or I am clutching at straws??

He's apparently just come good this season but 17 mill seems a real snip in the current market

His first 6 seasons as a pro were mostly spent in the lower leagues in France & Germany. First time he really shone was his first full season with Amiens four years ago...only played 23 matches but scored 9. Got him a move to Rennes, where he bagged 19 league goals in 64 games. I remember watching him a bit back then...on his day he was unstoppable, but then he'd go several games without having an impact at all.

His move to Stuttgart has been the making of him. Still pretty fragile (he only played 22 games his first year there) but still putting up good numbers (11 B'liga goals). Pretty much the same story this season...17 goals in 14 matches.

See what happens but I doubt Stuttgart will only ask circa 20mil for him. Regardless, I wouldn't take him. Soon to be 28, injury-prone, untested in the PL. My German pal who's a Union fan gets to see plenty of him and he says Guirassy is somewhat of a paradox...guy is outscoring his expected xG, but he also misses a lot of chances. Apparently a bit selfish too...a few occasions when he should've passed but instead took a tough shot. And not what you'd call a workhorse, my pal said.

Hugo Ekitike's desperate to get out of PSG after they refused to play him for refusing to be part of the Muani deal part-ex.

Still only 21. Another kid with some talent (bit like Todibo story) who made the big move way too soon and fucked his career sideways for a couple of years.

If we struggle to bring in a wide attacker in Jan, pretty sure PSG will take a loan/option deal and the kid needs out so will jump at the PL IMO.

Didn't really see loads of him at Reims before the PSG move, but there was definitely a spark of something. Really unusual body type for a player of his type/position, but technically good and has some pace too.

Absolute no from me.

He hasn't played in like forever.

But mainly, having plenty French acquaintances who are PSG fans, they hate the kid's attitude. Thinks very highly of himself, doesn't train hard, sulks/throws toys out the pram when on the bench/not picked, not nice to fans who've come across him.
