El Hadji Diouf

Shame. He looked excellent against England and his attributes seemed perfect for GlasnerBall.

Oh well, let’s hope the Croatian lad is better!

Tine will tell who is the better prospect or right for the team. Chilwell was perfect because he knew his role and helped Tyrick develop into a better player.

I personally feel Mitchell and Sosa will work better within the Glasner system.

We also saved 20M for other positions. I hope I’m right?

Feels like this is the reason. They were playing hardball with Diouf, and Sosa was available for a modest fee.

Diouf was undoubtably the better prospect, but sometimes you need to make the sensible decision. Especially in a position like LB where we have such a constant performer in TM.

Good signing for them.

Good signing for them.

Perhaps. They've paid over the odds for a player coming directly from the Czech League. The previous record (according to Transfermarkt) for a direct transfer from the Czech league was 14.5m euros paid by B. Dortmund for Tomas Rosicky back in 2001!

The fact that there hasn't been a higher one in the last 24 years until now surely says something.

I have to say, I'm disappointed we missed out on this lad. As said, time will tell, but I think he'll be a great signing for Spam.
