The report says we were trying to sell him the Dembele success story of game time etc.

 

Hope to * we keep Moussa instead of signing some English * who wants 50k a week at such a young age

 

Aubameyang, Verratti and a quality right back

 

Alaba sounds about right.

 

The soap opera had animated the late summer of Stade Rennais. While his goalkeeper Benoît Costil had a contractual agreement with Fiorentina, the Breton club had pushed back in the last hours an offensive of the Serie A club. An offer deemed too low - less than 5 M € - and especially at the time, While the hierarchy of goalkeepers between Paul Nardi and Abdoulaye Diallo had to be redefined during the summer, to the detriment of the young French international Espoir, loaned by the ASM to the Bruges Club in January.


Six months later, the situation changed. Benoît Costil, at the end of the contract in June, has total freedom to engage elsewhere. The old Caennais is still interesting Fiorentina. It would be enough of the agreement of the old Caennais to validate this arrival. The French international goalkeeper also aroused the interest of Celtic Glasgow, who has come to observe him several times in recent months. Can a surprise come in between now and June? In France, Nice, who had studied the profile in the spring, can he relaunch in the race? It is premature to mention it, but one thing is clear: in Nice, a reflection is being conducted on the position of goalkeeper.

 

That'll excite a few on here. Don't know anything about him, but the fact he's in and about the French squad probably tells the story.

Would seem a real coup on a free.

 

That would be quality

 

Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham. Don't know what is contract situation is like but he's played 14 times for them this year and he's only 16 years old. Wonder if we could get the same sort of deal we did with Moussa. He will look at what Dembele is doing up here, see who he's getting linked with and surely jump at the chance to play up here. As I said don't know what his current contract is.

 

See archer didn't have the worst of games for Millwall v Leicester, think there is a promising keeper there.

I'd keep an on Ryan Sessegnon, chances are after the Dembele transfer a lot of the English teams won't want to make the same mistake twice.

Plus the he's English as well so despite all the joy Dembele is having, there will be some naive arrogant * wit englanders who will talk down our league and tell him a move here would be suicide.

 

Having a wee look at the French under-21 squad. I've said it before but with the success of Dembele and the eyes of France being on him we should be lookinh at young French players.

That being said, anycunt ever seen
Sébastien Haller play?

 

20 under 21 France appearances with 13 goals, quite experienced for his age, good scoring record and he's 6'3 who looks a footballer.

That highlights reel there is a bit like a young Viduka.

 

Maxwel Cornet

 

Haller would be a cracking signing but I think he'd be out of our reach now.

 

Wayne Rooney, heard he's a Celtic fan too

 

Jason Cummings?

I think he would be a very good 3rd choice striker and wouldn't cost too much

 

I'd take Rooney tbh would be a quality signing he's still far too good to head too China

 

If we want to progress as a champions league club guys like Haller need to be signed to compliment our attacking options imo.Would prefer to sign him and one other than sign 5 or 6 decent players
