He’s 19 and son has about 1-2 years left at this level. Son also won’t be starting 50 games a season.5 goals in the PL for a let's be honest dog shit Burnley team. He's a LW though so it's an odd one but he's right footed so maybe Ange thinks he's the man for the right side, for the taking players on and getting balls in whilst Son is the one who cuts in on the left.
He impressed me for Burnley last season though and is a French u19 and u21 international
So how many non HG spots do we have? and how many non HG players already filling them?
Summerville is good but odobert has a greater ceiling imoThis makes me feel a lot better about not going for a player like Summerville.
Bet its not the first time you said this!
Ok like Sessignon, Djed Spence, Bryan Gil & co.Williams is 21 u never know with young players they may be more ready than we think
Dunno. Ask for a sudoku spreadsheet. Unfortunately there's different rules between the English FA and UEFA. One thing they agree on is a maksimum 17 overseas trained players. I don't know if the English FA still has 4 club trained (at least, you can have 25 of these without a problem) and 4 trained in the English system rule, or if they just want 8 English associated now. Either how UEFA still wants 4 club trained and 4 associated as a minimum to register a full 25 man squad. The real difference is how they look at U21 players. In England anyone can paly under the age of 21 without being registered (so Bergvall fine here). But by UEFAs rules you have to be club trained to be an eligible under 21 player. You don't actually have to be club trained, I think UEFA allows U21 players who's been at clubs for 2 years to play, whereas club trained would be 3. So I don't know if someone like Soonsup-Bell would be free to play European football for us, without being registered or club trained, or if he's still missing 6 months with us. Sorry that was a mess, I know
Assuming we're doing the deal in pounds, not euros, that figure isn't far off the initial fee of £25 million plus £5 million add-ons that's being cited. It works out as €29.4 million plus €5.9 million at today's exchange rate.€37m is a lot of faith in him and a sign of backing the manager tbh
Think we may be seeing a fair amount of him this season.
