Not claiming to be ITK at all. A Greek lad I used to live with is a massive Olympiacos (and part time Blades) fan. He reckons we could do a lot worse than have a look at their two full backs. Elbadellaoui and Tsimikas.
Elbadellaoui would be available on a free. 28 so still a few years in him. Good going forward and solid defensively. Norway international so could get Sander to have a word. Wages wouldn't be too high either. Good competition for Baldock.
Tsimikas is one of the most highly rated left backs in Europe. My mate said he was on the verge of joining Nice for 7m last month but then nothing has been heard since. Again wages wouldn't be an issue as he was on a low wage at Olympiacos. Apparently Liverpool were interested and maybe still are. Only 24 so long term investment potential.
Both would offer good competition for Enda and George and allow us to rotate without losing too much quality wise. And if we could get both for less than 10m and decent wages that would improve us in vital positions for not much at all.
