He's a number 10 type like Pablo, big and powerful too, not the kind of player PH would like or would utilise well. So maybe he won't be here.

Scored a peach v Real Madrid in the Champions League last season.

There is no doubt Vadis was the best player in polish ekstraklasa when he was leaving but from what I know he's not a good person off the pitch, he has bad opinions from many people in Belgium and Poland.
He has a lot of talent but football isn't a priority for him 8-)

Apparently the Greek press just translated this article from one of those hitc type sites and ran with it.

GK - honestly don't know. Maybe look in the u23s.
Helander £4m
Raphinha £5m RW
Matt Targett and Charlie Adam on loan £1m (including loan fee and wages)
James Wilson £2m

Plus look for another Saiz type in Spain, there's hundreds of them, but a couple of years younger.
Victor Orta could have saved £12 million if he had followed this advice back in December 2017.

Hindsight is marvellous but if you look at many suggestions in the thread for every player that has gone on to better things many others fall from the radar.

In fact if we had signed all the players suggested by fans in this thread we could have a first team squad of around 200 players :D

It also assumes Raph could have been persuaded to come to a mid table 2nd tier club under the guidance of Thomas Christianson.

We also wouldn't now have Meslier in goal had we followed the above advice. :crazy:

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

THIS IS AN OLD THREAD - I was looking for some comments from when Pascal Struijk signed as I had seen some Twitter stuff about him. I happened to spot Raphinha mentioned so bumped the thread as it seemed funny that someone on here knew about him way back then. I'll bump the most recent transfer thread now so hopefully people will not post new info in here.

THIS IS AN OLD THREAD.
