If he is the next Mbappe I will be seriously pissed off, but if he's the next Martial I won't mind so much. Buying from France is always a lottery.Isn’t Doue supposed to be the next big thing out of France the next Mbappe or Martial (Martial was huge at the start of his career). Surely we will get beaten for him.
Theres only so many big clubs that can afford 40m euros and most of them are choca block of players on inflated contracts and have more established stars willing to move to them.Isn’t Doue supposed to be the next big thing out of France the next Mbappe or Martial (Martial was huge at the start of his career). Surely we will get beaten for him.
He’s more like Dembele that Mbappe or Martial IMO. A little bit of Eden Hazard in his style too.Isn’t Doue supposed to be the next big thing out of France the next Mbappe or Martial (Martial was huge at the start of his career). Surely we will get beaten for him.
and that is why we often end up with an nkoudo, njie, stambouli, gedson, byan gills, djeds etc etc.
Levy getting that stiffy for the hopeful increased value of the younger player in a few years time rather than getting that prem ready and proven player who will propel the team in the here and now and not hopefully in 2 years time by which time the manager who bought him has usually been sacked

It’s also why we have Udogie Sarr and VDV or Dele before and Rose/Walker
The biggest thing is how good your scouting is and how committed you are to believing in it. The prices it takes to get the likes of Gray and Doue tells us they are pretty committed. 8m for Bergvall looks like theft until we see him play that is
If the part about Doue is true, and that’s a huge IF, then there’s no reason the deal shouldn’t get done.
Which pre-season?Yes
By the end of pre season I think both will be pushing hard for minutes.
Think it's about who liked the post...Didn't we sign him yesterday???
Or is it a Hercules revelation???

According to sources close to me(Hercules), that one was close!There is absolutely no way, NO WAY, we are getting Nico Williams. This is bait and about as likely as us signing Mbappe last season.
But I would love to be proved wrong.
(But I won't.)
Outside of a bigger club coming in.
Still think he ends up at PSG or Bayern.
Depends
One success like Dele outweighs about 5 fails because you end up with a 100m player in your team that you paid 8m for
I don’t see Eze as a gamble either mate. Just saying the way it looks like Levy thinks.
