Certainly played well against us.

Giovanni likes Antonio. 

 

Forza Azzurri!

Looks like Colak may be doing two foreign training camps this pre season.

PAOK/Netherlands, Rangers/Portugal

At least he'll be fit and ready come the games.

 

Looks like much of the business is going to be either done or not, towards the end of the window when budgets become clear and the customary last few days mayhem ensues.

 

 

On the other hand, it is difficult to keep up with the development signings.

To go along with that, there has to be a pathway established when youngsters are good enough and we have one or two that are now ready. I would be happy with Lowry taking Aribos place in the squad, should the latter move on.

Colak seems to be a fairly modest target to replace Itten and hopefully he'll be more effective when called upon than the Swiss lad. I doubt we'll want to pay more than around £1-1.5m on him.

 

Other new first choice players will be dependent on the futures of Kamara, Aribo, Kent and Morelos in particular.

As it stands we have Morelos and Roofe - two fine strikers when fit and available.  Unfortunately, the latter is unreliable fitness wise and the former's future uncertain (as it has been for the last 3-4 summers).

 

In an ideal world we'd extend Morelos' contract, sell Roofe and use those funds to buy a more reliable backup to Morelos and a third player to push them both.

 

Unfortunately, that ideal world doesn't exist so we have the money we got for Itten and thus have to make the most of our scouting knowledge to source a replacement. Colak seems a reasonable choice at a reasonable price.

 

At this moment in time, there's not much point in spending say £5m on a striker when we only usually play with one and Morelos is he.
