This must never ever be allowed to happen again, he did this before and the result was disaster |  |

| Brazilian defender linked on 08:08 - Jun 29 by StokieBlue | Probably something in it if he's reporting it. Sounds like a quality signing even if a bit pricey but I think GON will want to sure up the defence and then build from there. Hopefully he knows a few players in the French league after his half-season there. SB |
Eh, he'll report anything if someone pays him. He does not care in the slightest. |  |

Yes he gets paid handsomely but his information is always accurate and bang on. Certainly a thing if Fab is posting an exclusive. Hopefully the deal is way down the road if it’s now in the public domaine. |  |

Fair enough! I don't really follow these people, just thought he had a good track record. SB |  |

Let's not go there the last time we tried that we got relegated! |  | |  |
| Brazilian defender linked on 11:03 - Jun 29 with 1846 views | grow_our_own | Still think we should focus our spending on attack, which is much further below Prem standard than defence. Right now, we'll be relegated primarily bc we won't score enough. If we spend ~30m on one defender, I suppose that's acceptable, assuming that'll be around a quarter of our spending this summer. If any two positions at the back need strengthening, it's left-CB and right-back. |  | |  |

We absolutely need to strengthen the back line. It isn't one or the other. |  |

| Brazilian defender linked on 09:29 - Jun 29 by Wallingford_Boy | Why do you think we'll be playing with 3 at the back? GON referenced his preferred formation is 4-2-3-1 in his initial presser. |
Because we are a newly promoted club, so survival this season is the brief for GON, who has shown himself to be a far more adaptable coach, in formation & tactics, than KMcK was over the last few seasons. He may well fancy a 4-2-3-1 all things being equal, but for a newly promoted side, that will have a number of new players in the starting XI, defensive solidity, or perhaps an extra body in midfield, are very likely to be our tactics IMO. Taking on established Premier League clubs, in a like for like formation of 4-2-3-1 would seem somewhat foolhardy, especially given our experience from the season before last. I could well be wrong though. |  |

If we sort out the defence and midfield, we can get away with 1-0 wins which might be the thing that keeps us up Priority GK CB RB CM Then Striker x 2 AM X 2 CM X 1 lb x 1 [Post edited 29 Jun 12:46]

He does care because his brand takes a massive hit if a load of stuff he puts on there doesn’t come off or isn’t true. |  |

Yes, he doesn't usually pluck stuff from his backside ( like Sportsboom for example) In this case i'd imagine it's either the players agent scoping for any other interest or Lille wanting more bidders. I imagine getting the info you want out into the public domain is relatively 'cheap' by using Fabrizio. |  | |  |

Yes this, my first (cynical) thought was the agent trying to drum up a bit more interest before anything is completed with us in hope of a more attractive option |  |

This is obviously correct, but also a bit depressing, that a twitter def info merchant has brand value to worry about. |  |

Always accurate? That's absolute boll*cks. Claimed Christian Atsu was found alive when he was dead. https://sportingintelligence83 He's a slimy bastard |  |

Did I say it was? Defence & keeper are statistically better than the last time we were promoted. Attack is statistically worse than the last time we were promoted. |  | |  |

He’s the most reliable one out there. Fact. Attacks on him personally as a person, I have no comment because I don’t know him. When it comes to football exclusives he should be taken seriously. [Post edited 29 Jun 14:34]
