Fratessi was a target 2 yrs. He's 26. The club has stated that they are targeting player to reduce the squad age.

It's a focus on 20-24yr olds.

I appreciate there is need to bring in quality and Fratessi is no doubt a good player, however, his age doesn't fit the profile. The club also don't loan players unless absolutely necessary - Ramsdale.

Eddie has a previous relationship with the keeper, otherwise I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be at the club.

These factors seriously narrow the pool of players the club are willing to sign, especially when factoring in the other matrix Eddie insists on for his players.

This also points to the fact of why it's 99% unlikely that the club will sign any players before the deadline 19:00 GMT on Monday, 2 February. Later today.
