Not who you think, unless he’s changed agent in the last year (which is possible as he was heavily linked with Fulham last summer but it didn’t happen).
Well, yeah, I get the agent cynicism - but we have also acquired an important member of recruitment team from… Benfica, so you’d expect him to have an informed view of whether this guy is any good.
Murillo, Boly, Milenkovic, Omobamidele - then Abbott? Can see why you'd want a 5th choice, ideally versatile. Doubt Abbott gets a loan now, as it's late in the window, but think that has to be his next step.
And haven’t most of our signings involved agents who aren’t Mendes? I’m more interest in the quality than who the agent is, and the signs are we’ve done well.
I’ve been a huge fan of JWP since he broke through at Saints and was starring for England u21, so I’m definitely on board with this one.
His corners to Milenkovic promise goals.
And away from home, his ability to release CHO and Elanga on counter attacks could be crucial too.
