Apparently we are after Ismaila Sarr again. Proven at Premier League level and we seem to of always kept tabs on him. Freedman is a big fan. Thoughts?

I wonder if this is agent talk. He's kinda flopped at Marseilles so they want their money back.

3/4 years ago he was a good player but Watford fans will probably say they were happy to sell him.

At £20m it's not worth it.

Apparently, the rumour is coming from Alan Nixon so there may well be some substance in it.

He was impressive when he first arrived on the scene with Watford but soon faded, we seem to get linked with him almost every season at some point in time with very little seeming to come of it beyond the paper talk.

I would have been keen on him a few years ago but much less so now.

At Watford I noticed a player who often played on the periphery, going missing in a number of encounters, and the mood music was that he does not turn up every game.

He undoubtably is fleet of foot and Xisco Munoz his manager at Watford asserted that he was a top player when afforded space, accordingly they used to plan how to get the ball to Sarr with the player in a good body shape to attack the space.

I agree with your assertion apropos being linked to the player on a regular basis.

I agree with this assessment and think Sarr is a player capable of very good moments as opposed to being a very good player.
We have been strongly linked with him over an extended period and there have been opportunities to make a move for him if there was serious interest.
The fact we haven't bitten in the past is telling, and I can't see this happening unless it's a bargain basement fee.
I would like to see us have a pacy option amongst our forward players, but perhaps one with a more consistent end product than Sarr.

When we were playing with proper wingers and looked to counter I was a big supporter of signing Sarr as he is insanely quick; however, does he fit in OG's system? If he played as a striker possibly. I can't see this one having legs, but who knows.

Wouldn't be a summer transfer window without us being linked to the new David Nugent.

As always, a well judged observation Willo. As for space, that's one entity you don't get much of in the PL!
I imagine we will end up with either Sarr or Philogene but my guess is Sarr is the more likely?

Swap with Edouard involved would be OK.

When I saw Sarr on the transfer talk I thought the same . I would be very surprised if this has any legs

apparently he is very keen on 'Taste the Difference' sausages so a move to Selhurst would mean he wouldn't have to go very far for his shopping

Another player who has had his fair share of injuries, with him Smith-Rowe and Sessegnon the physios could really have their hands full!

He has good attributes with his pace and directness which could suit us but coming off a pretty average year at Marseille I wouldn't be interested in paying anything over what they paid last year for him 13m€.

Would have liked this 4 years ago when we first were interested. Now seems like he has gone backwards. But who knows, looked good then but for me it is like we have progressed since then.

That's our standard length of time for signing a player.

Ye I feel the same. Would have preferred N'Diaye who Marseille sold to Everton instead. But who knows, if Dougie and Glasner think he'd be a decent addition then hopefully it'll work out. If it's around the 10/12m mark then it's not too much of a risk I guess but I wouldn't pay any more as his injury record does make me nervous.

Not excited by this one. Seems to have gone off the boil in the last few years. Our focus should be on signing Soule or ESR to replace Olise.
