21 years old, 6ft 4, French, quick, strong, good with the ball at his feet, 12 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season, the type of player we should be after?

Joke update:

Cheeky bid for Bacuna too for banter?

Understand why you say that due to the current squads tight knit nature, but feel as though we have to start introducing players from outside of these regions to progress in the long term, would be detrimental to ourselves not too.
 
If he speaks the language, has the personality and won’t break the bank then yes he’s exactly what we should be after.
But chances are we won’t be alone as well.
 
Can he down a pint in less than ten seconds?

Has he got a song that would be respectable in an Irish pub?

If neither then don't touch with a barge pole!

English clubs have looked at him before. Think Newcastle were interested before he signed for Mainz.
Seems Mainz paid about £8m so they'd want at least £10m for him.
 
After 12 goals for a lower Bundesliga team, it’s likely that a few clubs will be looking at him, so can’t see this one happening. He’s also got three years left on his contract so Mainz aren’t going to let him go on the cheap.

Very fair point, although I was thinking that Huddersfield managed to signed Mounie from Montpellier for £11.5m after 14 goals in Ligue 1, a fair comparison?
 

Lads we are in the premiership now, if we really want a player from Mainz we can compete. I'm not suggesting we break the bank but at some point we are probably going to have to spend 10m on a forward.

The likes of Adam's, McBurnie this lad are all going to cost that sort of money. If we can afford 4m for Egan on a championship budget we can afford 10m for a centre forward on a premiership budget and I trust Wilder to use it wisely
 
If we're looking to sign a player like this it needs to be done very quickly - Mateta is in the French U21 squad for this summer's European Championships. If he performs well in Italy then he'll be well out of our reach.
 
Christ, I like the look of him. Big, black, French, two good feet and elastic as fuck.

Hopefully the sort of player we'll be signing next summer after we've stayed up for a season.

The order in which you state the lads perceived attributes reveals much ;).

UTB
 
Pretty sure wilder has said in multiple interviews we will shop for foreign players when the time is right, some people really need to keep themselves calm about this cause its not the best look. ;)
 
Just a hunch but i reckon our first overseas CW signing will be from South America.

Just basing this on the fact that Paul Mitchell said we had recently been in touch with scouts down there.
 
Came on as sub last night and scored the equaliser v. Red Bull Leipzig at the 4:57 mark.



We've no chance of signing him. He'd be at least £15m, and in the reaches of the second groups of teams in germany, france, italy, spain and the likes of everton, newcastle, palace, leicester, etc in the prem.

Stuart Baxter, father of Lee, is currently the manager of the South African national team, having managed the team before, as well as SuperSport United & Kaiser Chiefs. Lee, son of Stuart and ex of this parish, is currently the goal keeping coach at Kaiser Chiefs. South African football at all senior levels isn't that great, although they are in u20's WC later this month.

Interesting... I mean, South America and South Africa are different places, but still... Interesting.
