    Sad to see Dubs go as he's been a good servant to the club, but at the same time it's a good move for him as well as the club, so best of luck to him.

    I've heard on the grapevine that we have had a good look at the Wolfsburg goalie, Grabara, mid 20's and had a bit of time with Liverpool and Huddersfield when quite young. Also as an aside, Barca's winger Garcia.

    I'd love us to have a goalie called "Grabara" 😆 and I am amazed we haven't tried to test Barca's financial situation more - does anyone rate their CB Ronald Araujo? The right age and good attributes.

    Dead right there Sclox. Barca have big money problems and a wealth of talent on the books which they couldn't keep satisfied if they had 3 first teams in la Liga.

    That's how Chelski have got away with it over the seasons. Nicking young talent from poorer clubs wholesale, keeping the most promising and flogging the rest off for good money. They are just football traders with the first team as a by product.

    I think Bayerm were tracking Araujo. Regarded as their fastest player with great power, strength and Uruguian spirit. I know anuone looks good on you tube but this guy looks the part. Rated 50 mill but gotta be able to get him for less.

    Agreed, Dubs has been a great servant and with his age, it's a good move for him, thankfully.

    I doubt we will sign Grabara, he moved to Wolfsburg in the summer and Bayern are keeping tabs on him for next season. He's possibly the most arrogant player I have ever seen, but I'm pretty sure he can become one of the best keepers in the world with a bit of luck and a few improvements in his game. He's got his age on his side. Great goalie on his day.
