Likewise. Likewise.
I, personally, rate Mateta over someone like Wissa - in terms of someone to play alone up top. He can do more of the isolated battle stuff than most. How a team with the lure and budget of manchester united have gone through Hojlund and Sesko, and haven't got someone like Mateta, I will never understand*.
* This is football. I don't understand it. Therefore the answer is 'money'. Someway, somehow.
Is he the guy with the big moustache who gets the fans going? I want him.
Update: Robertson is no longer going to Spurs as Slot has decided he needs him for the second half of the season.
40 in 122 over 3.5 seasons. 8 in 21 this season. Not that shabby. We will be paying top half Prem wages. Not sure he will attract interest from the top 6/7. Maybe Spuds if they have the cash.
What I meant was, if he leaves Palace to come here, it implies we pay significantly more than them. And how can that make sense when our income must be pretty similar?
We’ve finished above them once in the last 13 seasons, so he’s hardly coming here for the glory.
It's a nice thought. However. I'm pretty sure that he's not causing disruption at the current FACup holders because he has wind of a dream move to Nottingham Forest.
No, but his manager is.
What?
Put £3 on Brentford to win 3-0.
Also on Sangare first goal.
Have you posted in this thread because you've transferred money to the bookies?
It's a good question. I think I'm light headed.
I hope that's not an acca.
Unless he went Owen Goal, of course.
The one where Mince raids the tea kitty for a trip to the bookies...
With HILARIOUS etc.
Percy reporting on Mateta interest.
Also Ornstein: Nottingham Forest offer Crystal Palace £35m for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Personal terms between 28yo striker & #NFFC no issue but #CPFC will only consider sale if get ~£40m package + replacement - Strand Larsen among options being considered
Seems like a lot of money for someone who's 29 in the summer (just after May).
How good is he?
On the average stay at nottingham forest he will still be 29 when we sell him.
