Lads I think thia guy may be the ready made ebs replacement and might make a bigger impact than el-khanouss. He doesnt necessarily have the expansive passing of El-Khanouss but he does have high proficiency of taking the ball on the turn and driving. He seems to have an eye for goal as well (stats do flatter to decieve though). He also is a left sided player who cuts in with his stronger right foot. Looks like hes technically gifted as well. All im saying is that if he cost like 15 million ( Leipzig view him as a squad player) then it would be a steal in the vein of ismailia sarr probably even better. The balance between baumgartner + sarr + mateta would be mint.

This is what we need. What we don't need is to get dragged into bidding wars for players in the spotlight.
Tzolis is also overpriced simply because Brugge don't want to sell.
Perhaps the El Khannouss deal was just to deflect attention from the real deal which is this.

Maybe this is why Glasner seemed happy all of a sudden, getting an Austrian in that he's familiar with.

Your positiveness about him will do for me. I’ve very rarely heard of players from abroad we’re linked too, but I’ve heard of this fella and actually remember him from Austrian games in the recent tournaments, if Ollie wants him, get him done if we can 👍

Yes,I thought that he did look a lot happier at yesterday's post match press conference.
Stating that they have several players lined up if they want to come to South London.

As others have said, you cannot easily replace any major player when he leaves a team. Much more so a unique maverick type player like Eze.

I think we need to be looking at potentially two players (I hope one of them is Esse) who are in the same phase in their career, and who have as much potential as Eze had when he joined us. If El Khannouss is one of those then great that works for me. If we cannot secure someone permanently then a stop gap like a Chelsea loan or Gallagher would also make sense to me provided the sums add up.

I still think we need a back up for Munoz and another CB. I'd see these as more pressing given we have Esse, Kamada is coming back, and Devenny can do a job.

At the end of the day, its not who i think or any HOLer, its what Glasner wants.

He suggested they had identified more than one signing and hoped to get them in. A couple of replacements for the Eze position would be good. As for the 19 year old French centre back, one for the future we could sign if Guehi stays and get him up to speed if Liverpool come calling again in January once van Dyke is injured.

I dont think Glasner rates Esse. Not yet at any rate. There was the embarrassment of him coming on against Liverpool, Glasner throwing his arms in the air and then him getting taken off again. Then the other day when asked if Esse could be a replacement for Eze he gave an instant flat 'no'. Said while he did very well at Millwall he has not so far progressed from that stage.
Then there was the rumour that Palace offered him as a makeweight to Southampton when discussing Tyler Dibling which Saints were instantly said to have said no thanks. That last one may not be true but I think its fair to say he is only currently getting minutes because our bench is so threadbare at the moment.

Interesting. I don’t think he categorising him in the Rak Sakyi and Eoduard category as the two on the bench he has said can leave… but yes he certainly hasn’t shown faith.

I guess the difference between the other two is that he entirely inherited them. Esse he was here when the signing was made… but how much of a say he had and how much he disagreed with Dougie/Parish on it I guess time will tell. He certainly doesn’t think he can replace Eze now.

If the transfer window goes on like up to now this may easily become his priority wish …..

On loan?

Apparently Spuds have now moved for this lad, matching our offer and beating our wage offer. I guess we move on.
Could be a blessing in disguise. A few names are emerging that might suit us better.
