Reading this morning that we’ve reached an agreement with Leicester and Ghana forward/winger Abdul Fatawu.
22 years old. Did his knee 24-25 season which kept him out, but apart from that played all last season, netting 16 with assists.
Anyone know anything about this one and obviously the precise stats this is just what I remember from the article.
IMO it looks like DM is building a squad to rotate and freshen things up rather than occasionally giving someone 10 minutes at the end of Beto/Barry at 60 minutes.
Who knows, we might see a better version of Barry in his second season having settled into the UK at 19 yo and adjusted to the pace of the Prem. We’ve said the same for Dibbling but not Barry, probably because we’re desperate for goals and are cutting Dibbling more slack. Looking forward to this afternoon's game and see the boys in action.
Finally, the new kit looks good as does the away kit and I think there was a hint that the third strip might be a yellow top?

Barry is soon to be 24, mate. Also, I don't think Dibling has been cut any slack at all. Perhaps, Barry has shown, with enough minutes, how poor he is, whereas Dibling hasn't got the chance to even play, so it is all just guess work.

Lost possession too easily against a side levels below us, tries to go forward, but any pressure on him, he passes backwards. This was the Dibling I saw last season. Moyes did say he is going to give him a hard pre-season and it was first game. We will have to see.
