So he's choosing us over them. Wow we really are massive now. Makes sense that a player wants to come here with an easy route to prem football once they prove themselves. Interesting that just 2 days ago LJ said in his carpool interview with Ali on Points West that foreign players know who we are now because of our cup run and how we went into 68 countries when we beat Man Utd. I don’t think we can underestimate what that cup run did for our credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City build a good relationship with Chelsea. City suddenly appear to be able to sign a ‘wonder kid’ from Monaco... Not saying for one second they are behind it, but there is certainly logic there.

For every young starlet that goes on to become a Rooney, there are a fair few who do not develop in the way everyone hopes.

Let’s get a grip a It’s the first day of the season, we are on a new adventure there will be plenty of time for getting a grip after a couple of defeats. This is what OTIB is all about. Excitement about random rumours, conspiracy theories and dream scenarios to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Then in come the doom and gloom merchants about as welcome as a wake-up call from mum on a Monday morning before school. Have fun enjoy life it’s all on OTIB !

BCFCGav Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 This is exciting, given our track record with making profit on ‘prospects’. If we can sell Reid for 10 million we’re in for about 150 million when we sell this chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he was playing for a third tier Icelandic team, he’s been playing in games that were broadcast in the UK. An extensive scouting team wasn’t needed.

Bob, there is a lot about this deal that just adds up. As you say Jamie Mac scouted the Toulon Tournament plus we just employ a French speaking coach who just happens to have played this lad’s position. This lad has been monitored and the are acting professionally to help him settle and grow. Our transfer department really has improved so is it a shock we get such large sums now for our players?

OldlandReddies Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Mental stuff and hard to take in. Feels like a business adventure to me. Can only imagine he'll immediately be loaned out to another French club, hope that he excels and then make a huge profit on him by selling him to a top side. Can't be bought to play for us now can he ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
