Ed’s you mentioned we were interested in ísak bergmann jóhannesson, could this be something we would look to complete in jan? I know you mentioned he could be home grown.
Also didn’t know that his dad was Gudjohnson!

{Ed002's Note - Potentially. Yes, the sun of Joey - hence the Burnley interest.}

Makes sense thanks ed, he looks a decent prospect and as you’ve said could be HG which is something we need to address!

What position does he play?

{Ed002's Note - Isak Bergmann Johannesson is versatile and can play CM/AM/W). He would likely not to be so versatile if he were to move to England. Iam aware he has been watched by Odense and Burnley on several occasions. Manchester United, Oostende, Liverpool and Brann have had scouts at games recently. The Burnley link will be because of his father.}

Hi All.
Is Mandi from Betis still being considered? Apparently his contact is up at the end of the season.

{Ed002's Note - Aissa Mandi (CB) Real Betis CB who Newcastle have an interest in. West Ham were interested 18 months ago but not convinced, and instead opted for young prospect Goncalo Cardoso. Real Betis would sell at the right price. For Liverpool he would be a Lovren replacement and financially perhaps using Nathanial Phillips makes more sense, particularly given he is 29 and not HG. Fenerbahce have had talks with Real Betis. Another who would be off the AFCON and and I am not aware of approach to his club by Liverpool. Makes no sense.}

Phillips is far better than Mandi.

We aren’t using Philips though for some reason, Williams is favoured over him and no one can understand why. Williams has potential but he’s a liability at the moment and with the league being on a knife edge we need to play the better players for every position. Phillips has shown to be far more competent and yet can’t get a look in, so we need a CB in jan.
