I am all in on this. I was touting this kid in the summer window. Definitely a player we should go for
And once he turns 21 he will count as homegrown under the current rules. 3 years at the club before turning 21 right?
Are they hard up for €8m? Sick of their shit.
He sanctioned signing Aurier though, who was supposed to be impossible to manage.
Yes that's part of it too, but having winners in your team can help with that vital push. They say winning the first one is always the hardest
That was an interesting watch. Has lovely technique.
Admittedly, never seen much of him.
I preferred this video of him as it includes every touch throughout a game:
Looks a good talent. 22 years old. Home-grown. Probably won't be too expensive. Only problem is probably the fact that he plays in a position that we don't need strengthening.
He was one of the bright sparks in their last PL season as well and he was only 19-20 at the time. Definitely a player that could become something fierce
Unlike some of our other attacking players, he has the look of a guy whose second touch is not likely to be a tackle.
Some sweet finishes in there, he's very difficult to knock off the ball, got a nice burst of acceleration over those first few yards, draws a lot of players towards him, final ball needs work, but I like it. Never heard of him before today, will be keeping an eye out for him now.
14 goals and 2 assists in the Championship last season and had a slow start to the season this year but he is now up to 8 goals. A nice parallel to Hull as a whole who also started the season dreadfully but have now found their rythm and gone on a nice unbeaten run. They beat Leeds yesterday 2-0 at Elland Road with Bowen scoring both Hull's goals
Ok, that wasn't as exciting, but I remain interested. He's got a bit of aggression in his game. That's another plus.
Re: Rabiot's attitude.
Not a concern. Some players (like Aurier) just need an alpha male manager like Poch to keep them in line as opposed to passive pansies like Blanc, Tuschel etc.
Kind of like dogs which are obedient and well behaved under authorative leaders but trouble when under the guidance of softies.

I’ve seen his name bandied about but not seen anything of him until those two vids. Like that he’s comfortable with both feet. Looks more composed than Moura already. Also looks like a hard worker off the ball.
Cheap, HG. Looks interesting.
What do you guys think about Matt Targett? I’ve seen bits and bobs of him over the last 2/3 years but last couple of weeks, given a more proactive remit under Hasenhuttl he’s actually caught my eye a couple of times. Need to see a bit more of him though.
No where near good enough, in my view.
Has one hell of a final ball on him though.
I'm glad we're being linked with a right back. I've had enough of this nonsense with Trippier and Aurier.
