awesome dawson
Mitchell Thomas
I just wish he wouldn't fade out of games so easily. He seems like he's only built for 60 minutes in which case Harry should have been hauling him off and giving Defoe more game time.
If we have Llorente lined up in the summer, I wouldn't even consider making an offer to City for someone who is extremely unlikely to accept a pay-cut.
As much as I agree, it's easier said than done with players from Bilbao.Been banging on about him for 2.5 years now. He's an exceptional target man with great technique and vision. Holds up the ball really, really well and hussles defenders with ease. On few occasions last night his first touch and link-up play was up there with very best
If Ade isn't possible in the summer - he should be our no.1 target in terms of what we need in a striker/forward

We won't sign Ade. He was accused of being on ?ú200k a week by one Spurs player.
He replied "Don't insult me, I'm on ?ú220k a week".
You just know we'll end up getting Grant Holt.
Nothing compared to basically playing for your own country every week.Yes, of course - chances are slim mostly due to the player more so than finances but we can only hope.
I'd say London would be one of our major pulls along with players like Mata, Silva, Reina, Torres, Alonso, Romelu, etc. all having much success in the PL
Nothing compared to basically playing for your own country every week.
Plus, Athletic can't reinvest in a ready-made replacement.
It really is a long shot.
He's Basque.But it's a shot nonetheless and one certainly worth exploring. He most certainly won't be the first Spanish player signing for a PL club, that's for sure. Plus considering he's now entering the prime of his career - perhaps a new challenge is very much on the cards. I'd say them missing out/making CL qualification this season would play a massive role in this
He's Basque.
They are not CL regulars.
You use the terms, "very much" and "massive role" to emphasise his likelihood of desiring to leave. These reasons are still nothing compared to playing for Athletic. I'm not sure you fully appreciate what a wrench it would be for them to part ways.
i think we should buy Ade in the summer... if he will take a pay cut... he has been class for us!
he must realise if he does not go PSG all anzhi he will not get anywhere near the same money as he is on now!
Llorente is someone we should also look to buy if we want to be serious!
But they have no replacement for him. If there was a youth player of his ilk waiting in the wings then fair enough but right now, they can't afford to let him go.
