Unlikely to be true our experts on here say we don't look abroad

Exactly the sort of market we need to be looking at.

don’t know too much about him. Only ever seen him play once last year. Was fairly decent in the game, I imagine Dyche must have done a fair bit of research if we are going into the European market.

Powerful, strong defensive midfielder
Would certainly let defour have a more forward role

Quick look on his fifa ratings, 90/100 Strength

From what I've seen he's a defensively solid, physical DMF. Hardworking but lacking technical ability. Think there's definitely room in our squad for this kind of player but wouldn't expect him to be a regular starter.

Fake news, we don't need a central midfielder, we have 4 good ones already. NEXT

I don't know anything about him.
But that sounds like a Dean Marney type replacement

I see we’ve offered him a 5 year deal without putting an offer in. Definitely sounds true to me.

Going off that he can pick a pass.

I see sky sports reporting that Reece Oxford available for £10million. Can play midfield or centre back and clearly has a great deal of potential. Not sure why West Ham aren't too keen.
I'd go for him

Off one game against Arsenal, 2 years ago or have you seen more of him while he was in Germany?

Who was he playing for on loan in Germany and how well did he do?

Just watched some highlights of him on Twitter in a game against Lyon, made me laugh it was just a compilation of him losing the ball in different ways, passes, tackles and sloppy touches mainly

Kevin McDonald was lauded for a one off game against Arsenal in much the same way before eventually being ridiculed and deemed not good enough despite his young age.
Then goes on to a couple of clubs within a few years and becomes one of the finest midfielders in the championship, gaining promotion back to the premier league.

Although he didn't play that often at Reading or Monchengladbach,he obviously impressed them enough if reports are correct that they want him back. They seem to be able to identify and nurture young talent, especially from other teams youth and under 23 set ups, so why can't we? Its hardly the same as signing George Porter or Luke O'Neill is it?
