David Raum

Ah sorry, what I wanted to say is: Done deal!
Raum is a Leipzig player for £22m.

That's why Cucurella is overpriced at 50m.
It's about his career maximum. World class LBs have a market maximum of about 60m. That's it.

50m after 1 very good PL season is nuts.
Bloom might speculate to get those 60m but that's high stake Poker.

We must have been overly confident on Cucurella then it seems

Or we never rated Raum.

Perhaps we were secretly going for Ait Nouri all along :)


All on board that Ait Nouri Express?!?!

Contract for 4 years with a club option for a fifth. Previous club has a 50% sell-on clause apparently. He sounds cheap...

Sounds like a contractual quagmire. But Ait Nouri Express here we come!

We don't rate him. He was linked to us before Wolves and City briefed it was Mendes talking him up.

Any other LB in the pipeline if Cucurella does not work out, or is it muck or bust?
