Has anyone any knowledge on Franculino D’ju (striker) . We were linked last couple of windows and this one and at one point we were favourites to sign him but it’s all gone quiet.
{Ed025's Note - he seems to have gone off the radar Big C..

I'll google him in a move to Everton and start a rumour and see what happens. ???

According to some reports we are one of a number of clubs expressing interest in Dju and tracking him, could just mean we've had scouts at their games though. We've also tracked Osorio at Midtjylland as well.
Midtjylland has already turned down a EUR25m bid for Dju from a Saudi club and also Hull.
I like Dju myself, has a good variety of goals. Had a minor knee injury last season but is said to have recovered from that.
He's got explosive pace so great for counter attacking and plays off the shoulder of defenders exploiting space, can really exploit high line defending.
Predominantly left footed but scores with both feet, more a snap shot striker, minimal backlift on his shots with maximum power, very different to Beto who takes a massive leg swing and then gets clattered or knocked off the ball.
Also has a good work ethic, chasing back to regain possession.
I would prefer Dju over Delap myself.
I'd also take Osorio.
{Ed025's Note - I would go for Jonathan Rowe ST..

Yeah, I would love Rowe, very direct and will run at fullbacks and gets you up the pitch, he's a different profile to Ndiaye who draws defenders to him then beats them with his trickery.
There are some good options out there.
{Ed025's Note - if we lose Ndaiye i think he would be a great replacement ST..
