3/4 year contract is a big investment in McNeil but he does look to have real potential and it’s great to see signs of some longer term planning at the club. 

We've done the same with Kobacki and it's because of their age. 

There's a knock on fee to their academy club if we sell them before the season they turn 25. But we can loan them out to our heart's content like Leicester did with Hirst to stop us being paid again.

Does that apply even if they released him ie separate to compensation or solidarity payments?

Understand that #SWFC are looking into the potential of getting a deal done to bring former Chelsea midfielder - and England international - Nathaniel Chalobah to Hillsborough this summer

One of those where his career did not progress as it should have 

Maybe too much too young and perhaps a good coach like Rohl can get the best out of someone like him

Yes if there was a deal on the table that wasn't taken by the player.

Yes hopefully, if true of course.

Yeah

Nathaniel

Born 12 December 1994

Trevor

Born 5 July 1999

Crikey you know the years are passing when players you perceive as "young and promising" are now nearing retirement age.

Saying that my youngest - age 20 - struggles to cope with kids years younger than him playing internationals when he is often sub for the village reserve team

His little brother Nat is following Chalobah. That's a new follow.

I think it’s a really good signing. He’s good defensively and has very good distribution.

What we now need to see is that striker (which I am hearing Ugbo is REALLY close), and then two ‘ratters’ who can get around the pitch from the middle of midfield. 

If Bernard is done shortly, that’s the lot.

Boosts the central midfield area that looked at least one short of depth. Got to accept that age will catch up with Bannan, the fact he was subbed quite a bit towards the end of games says a lot. 

Key now is for Rohl to instill his ethos into these new players. No doubt he will and if they don't he won't be kind

Interesting that Chalobah was filmed at S6 and talks about how he'll seek out Big Dom when he meets up with the squad, yet it was reported that he's already been training with the team at St. George's.

That would suggest the video is a few days old, so this transfer must've been done for some time.

Linked with Mikael Nade

Left footed centre back. Ball player as well as ball winner

 Surprised St Etienne didn't extend his contract after a very solid second half of last season including two good games in the promotion play offs against Metz

I read they offered him a new contract but he's turned it down but saying that, you're alot more informed than I am bud.

Sounds like he would be a decent pick up.

I had randomly seen some footage of Nade before and yeah looked strong as an ox. Reminds me of Cipre at West Brom which is probably why they are also trying to sign him. Equally surprising that we are now linked too.
