Eds, is there any possibility for going for Antonio Silva? He looks like generational talent.

{Ed002's Note - Antonio Silva (CB) Benfica say that "many scouts" have been to watch the player - perhaps they are looking for someone to pay his €100M buy out clause - a move at that price seems unlikely but PSG are keen. Juventus and Napoli would want a reduction in the asking price to make any move viable. Newcastle would like to do something but it looks difficult for this window. Looked at by Spurs, whose interest may well have gone, and Manchester United as an option to replace Maguire. For Liverpool perhaps a Konate replacement but very, very unlikely. Discussed with Chelsea during a conversation about another player.

The last generational talent we chased was Jude Bellingham. I hate we chase after generational talent.

The term "generational talent" gets thrown around so much these days. Messi was a generational talent, as was Ronaldo. This lad is just really promising and 19.

First time I heard the term was when ed1 referred to Bellingham as it. It’s a good term and I’m sure it was used long before then but I choose to blame him for the influx of its usage. Now I’m a starlet fan myself.

TAA is a generational talent and we plucked him from our academy, there is a chance that Stefan B could also be a generational talent.

‘Generational talent’, ‘embarrassing’, ‘disgrace’, ‘legend’ to name but four, there are loads of words and phrases that are applied that are incorrect or meaningless in respect to people’s opinions about a game where people kick a ball about for entertainment.
