Not yet.

****ing auto correct….. Depay!!! 

[FosseSpark]

So many half decent free agents. Telles is worth a shout you'd have thought. Martial is better than Daka, Ben Yedder likewise. De Lort maybe.

There's some very big Golden Handshakes out there too.  Free doesn't mean free in the world of football.

In my head we were waiting on the psr announcement before offering telles that saudi package for a year and left back prayers have been answered

Joel Matip has been linked on a website called the hard tackle! I’m not sure how serious the website is but he’s a free agent. 
 

I saw linked, we’re mentioned in the article.

Would take him all day 

[JimJams]

I wouldn't. 

Unless you're a practising surgeon,  then fair enough.

Weird move for a strange man

[ts_1010]

As Brazil grows economically, this sort of move will happen more and more. That left back from Newcastle Jamal Lewis has gone to the Brazilian league too I believe.

 

Not world beaters, but 5 years ago that would never have happened. Sign of the times I guess.

As someone who has been to Brazil it seems an unreal place to go and play football tbh

I'd take him. But not as our last squad place. We have other needs. I'd take him if we could replace one of the other CBs with him. But we already have 4.

Its football heritage, if I were a footballer at a certain stage of my career and the finances were do-able then I'd much rather experience a league in Brazil or Argentina than say Saudi or even the US.

absolute stinker of a Source but looks a decent player

I don't believe the source for a second but he's someone I've been mentioning periodically all summer as a good, cheap option.

He is out of contract, so a free agent. IF (big if) the source can be believed, an attacking midfielder / right winger / Centre forward (all his positions according to Transfermarkt) could be a valuable addition and worth taking up our spare squad place (we might even have two if Soumare does go to Galatasaray).

I know he's a free agent. That's why I said cheap.

He’s making good money. Brazil and Mexico can match salaries of most European leagues. Sometimes MLS, too.

They stretch themselves though to do the occasional big money signing. The average salary even for a promising South American talent is below what they would get even in the Championship, hence why they come to Europe.
