Question, are Lyon any good?
Because we seem to be getting linked with half their team. Already have O'Brien, now looks like Nuamah's on his way, and latest rumour is Cherki being looked at too.

Has Thelwell got a holiday home there?

Probably better than us.

If Cherki is available, I would pay double what we are for Nuamah. The lad is pure class.

Absolutely BlueNose. Far better equipped teams linked to him. Class.

Depserate for us to sign someone, but i'm scared of this nuamah transfer, purely because its Thelwells signing. I really hope he is actually decent, fulham wanted him in the summer so maybe that's a good sign.

Seems all bark and no bite to me ST. Much better that we could go after imo.

I actually would take any of their attacking mid/ wing players over him gents.

Cherki
Mikautadze
Fofana

All better.

Linked with their players because they have to sell players.

Sadly lyon are crap, they have been in decline for a number of seasons. Bit like efc!

I would definitely love Cherki and Mikautadze, there are reports circling Cherki has £18.6m release clause! Problem is convincing some of these into the project
John Textor had a rant the other day because at present Lyon are relegated due to their financials so people are dropping low bids
Cherki is definitely the sort of player I would want as a number 10 pulling the strings.

Yeah i am worried when Thelwell has anything to do with it. Cherki would certainly fit the bill.

Ryan cherki would be a perfect example to buy good player but cause lyon are struggling that doesn't mean there players are bad to buy i always think there's gems out there an listen am not going to say were going to buy him but if he came to prem an ripped it up be bigger clubs will buy him from us but long they perform put shifts just part an parcel of football but if he does job for us or anyone else and they think are club are not reaching expectations that they deem were not reaching ie europe league champions league trophies then long that player has performed week in week out an wants join club that are doing that an we make profit then happy days in my opinion.

I would be happy with that as well Andy, I would want to make loads of sales every summer but if we build a model of acquiring players who are young and can develop to then sell on firstly we become more financially sound and secondly players will see us as a team giving opportunities and development but don’t stifle their ambitions
I would hope we are actually back up challenging though as part of this so most might want to stay as we are matching their ambitions, that’s what we need to build towards ?.
