@howsthebacon Still a talented player. He has turned in some impressive performances preseason for Milan. I would much rather he went the way of Gourcuff who managed to revive his career with a move to France than say Gabriel Barbosa who failed miserably in Europe. Lets face it, if Paqueta can't make it in France he aint going make it at all

Karol Linetty** at 30p. Sampdoria midfielder and Polish Internationalist. Expected to return from injury soon. Was linked with a big move last season with Inter showing an interest. I know Sampdoria have had a dismal start to the season but their fortunes may be about to change with Ranieri now at the helm.

@wolves86

I don't hold either but I have been keeping tabs on him since the restart. Looks a good attacking wingback. watched the Monza game last night and thought he looked great! His PB scores have been improving too. I've seen the articles you mention as well saying that Milan want to move him on. Maybe they have had a change of heart after his recent performances?

The thing that put me off getting on him though is that he seems quite injury prone. I imagine that is the reason Milan are considering moving him on rather than his ability. Milan are said to be looking at bringing in more defenders too.

@MickTurbo Reports today of Betis making an offer for Martin...

This could be a breakout season for 20yr old Jonathan Burkardt of FC Mainz. He has an impressive scoring record for Germany at youth level. Managed to force his way into the Mainz first eleven after the restart last season. Scored a fine goal against Dortmund too!

Lyon are showing an interest in Lucas Paqueta. Could be the move he needs to kickstart his career,

Otavio at Porto (51p) was one of the best players in the Portuguese league last season. Going by his Europa League PB scores, he looks well-suited to the matrix. He has been heavily linked to Wolves this summer. Only has one year left on his contract at Porto too...

Bologna are said to be holding talks with Lazio to sign Cristiano Lombardi:

@FIGenesis Your blog is a great read! Keep up the good work!

There are a couple of names omitted from your articles which I was expecting to have featured: Maxence Caqueret and Yasine Adli. I hold both and they have been doing okayish. I bought into them before I stumbled across your blog. I would be keen to know your thoughts on them...

Another player I would like to pick your brains on is James Lea Silliki (31p). Unless I have missed something, I haven't seen his name mentioned on this forum at all. He was heavily linked with Porto and Benfica last season and just turned down the chance to join Celtic in the summer to sign a new deal at Rennes. Do you have much of an opinion on him?
