    They were ‘eyeing’ up Walcott yesterday, now their ‘monitoring’ this guy – I suspect their euphemisms for some Agent touting their players about to any mug Clubs desperate enough to listen!

    So, another right winger. It says on his profile that his weakness is crossing. Pretty much makes him redundant i would have thought.

  • ItalianHammer says:

    As a regular viewer of Serie A, I can assure that Defrel would be a top buy. He is like Greizmann if I had to make comparisons. His main position is a striker but he can be deployed as a right winger as well.

    I went down the park for a kickabout with grandkids yesterday. I was definitely being ‘monitored’ by some geezer with a dog- has to be a West Ham scout. The drinks are on me when I get my £50,000 per week contract. Although it will only be orange juice for those who call me a miserable old git ( you know who you are).
