Give it a rest..... You're creating your own memes at this rate.
A couple of days ago when queried you meekly said you were "just asking the question", now you're insistent on portraying it as a thing.......
Definitely a good keeper. But passing the ball short/medium distances is something he's pretty bad at, and we're bringing in a coach who wants his keeper passing short and through a press
Great defender, but he's made of glass.
Won't come here anyway.
Think he'll go back to Spain. Or PSG.
Personal?
Eze & Maddison.
"We will probably sign him regardless of what Ange wants because the club does the deals they want and he's a Base client."
Your peddling the idea that we sign players based on them coming from a certain agency just cos we've have bought (iirc) 7 in 15 years or so.
Unless somethings changed in the last 2 days that I'm not aware of? .....Where's all this coming from? You had no conviction over the matter when I asked you before.
What? Lenglet on loan for a year not enuf?
Can Kyogo play on the wings??
I know very little about him but just looked him up and saw that he’s 5’7 and 145 lb. Height/weight aren’t everything but ….
Playing against unathletic teams who halfheartedly press. First 7/8 games of next season could be chastening.
I’ve not seen him do so, he’s more of a poacher one second, then he’s popping up as a ten the next. Not seen massive amounts of him, so just going off limited viewing.

I posted this in the Ange thread. It does seem that Base seem to have a big influence ATM with the appointments of Munn and Ange. That doesn't mean we will be signing every single Base player but surely they will push certain clients our way if they fit the requirements.
Looks like Ange has been pretty much the main target from the beginning of the search.
Keith Jackson names Frank Trimboli as central figure in unfolding Ange drama
Our man spotted the influential agent who could become a key figure in the Parkhead gaffer's future with Spurs circling.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
Chances are you won’t be overly familiar with the name of Frank Trimboli.
And over the course of the next week or so Celtic’s supporters may have good reason to wish it had stayed that way. Or they could end up showering him with flowers and chocolates all the way down London Road. Either way, it seems increasingly likely that Mr Trimboli is about to emerge as a central character in the unfolding drama which will ultimately decide if Ange Postecoglou is Home or Away this summer.
So it was more than intriguing that he just so happened to be there in person at Celtic Park on Saturday, with a VIP pass to join in the title celebrations before Sky’s cameras caught him hugging and high-fiving Postecoglou like a long lost brother down on the pitch. Trimboli, you see, is the man who makes deals happen. He may represent Postecoglou professionally but he is not exactly renowned for adopting a touchy-feely, Jerry Maguire approach to fostering agent-client relationships.
Rather, he has a reputation as a no nonsense Aussie adviser with a hard earned reputation for getting things over the line. Put it this way, if there are any balls that need breaking, invariably, Frank the Tank’s your man.
He also enjoys a long standing working relationship - and wields enormous influence - with the men in the command room of the very club which is now pecking around Big Ange like a feisty cockerel. Trimboli is credited, for example, with playing a key role in the somewhat left-field appointment of another Australian, Scott Munn, as Tottenham Hotspur’s chief football officer.
Munn’s bespoke role and wide reaching remit will make him pretty much the decision maker in chief from now on at the North London club. He starts his job on July 1 and when he does he will be second in seniority only to chairman Daniel Levy who, understandably, is seeking to take a backseat after overseeing a spectacularly Spursy season, even by their own basket case standards.
Like Postecoglou, Munn has a history steeped in the City Group having held down a position as chief executive at Melbourne City FC before being promoted to head up the entire China division over the last four years. So it’s little wonder if the alarm bells began clattering even more loudly inside Celtic Park at the weekend when Trimboli’s name appeared on Big Ange’s personal guest list for a second successive title party.
Trimboli’s presence in the posh seats will certainly not have escaped the notice of Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell who will be acutely aware of all the various personalities and pieces which are in play as Spurs weigh up their next managerial move
It could even be that Lawwell was the one who handed out the invitation in the first place in order to conduct a face-to-face with Trimboli over a fat new contract offer for his client, who is now days away from completing a domestic clean sweep at the end of his second season in Glasgow.
If that turns out to be the case - and Postecoglou was to put pen to paper on a bumper deal to stay - then Trimboli will have Celtic supporters buses being named after him throughout the close season. And yet, all the noises coming out of London, suggest Postecoglou’s pal has other plans in mind.
Postecoglou’s name has been on Levy’s list of potential new bosses ever since the decision to axe Antonio Conte was made at the end of March. And the more he has bungled the recruitment process, the higher up it has climbed.
So last week, when Feyenoord’s Arne Slot became the latest man to turn down Levy’s advances, Trimboli may well have sensed that the time was right to start upping the ante over Ange. Both Slot and Postecoglou share similar philosophies in terms of how they believe the game ought to be played.
They are more than just managers - they are creators of cultures - and if that’s what Spurs are looking for then, of course, it stands to reason that Postecoglou has become a person of such interest
................................
Ange Postecoglou's move from Celtic to Tottenham has been in the works for months, according to a report.
An Australian media outlet claims that the 57-year-old's agent has been pushing for a deal to be struck for quite some time.
Postecoglou is poised to take over in North London, with a deal edging closer to completion.
He's set for talks with Daniel Levy in the coming days, with Celtic having granted permission for him to speak with the Premier League giants.
However, The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Postecoglou's representative, Frank Trimboli, has been working in the background over a move to the EPL for his top client
They wrote: “(Daniel) Levy is why this position is viewed as a poisoned chalice, although none of this will be lost on Postecoglou, a student of the game and a voracious consumer of football around the world.
"His agent, London-based Aussie Frank Trimboli, knows Levy well and has been pushing Postecoglou’s case for months behind the scenes.
“Postecoglou is expected to be confirmed as early as this week as Tottenham’s new manager.
"The deal is all but done, according to scores of reports from overseas and by sources contacted by this masthead, and an official announcement is imminent.
"It will be a new high watermark for Australian football, to have a head coach working not only in the English Premier League, but at one of the competition’s biggest clubs - as it will be for the 57-year-old himself, who has always had the hunger to test his wits at the highest level possible, stretching as far back as his days as a junior at his boyhood club from South Melbourne.”
