Daily Mirror reporting we are leading the chase for this youngster from Notts Forest. He would be a fantastic addition. Only 19, tall and very quick. Reminiscent of a certain young Gareth Bale.

Just imagine...

One thing to caution is that big players in youth football tend to thrive because of their physicality, and can then struggle at senior level. Connor Wickham or Carlton Cole for instance.

Bale dominated while he was slight, and then bulked out in his 20s.

He's not massive just tall and well built, with pace, slimmer than Chadli with bigger shoulders

Agreed. But if we are confident of the Poch value add to players, he would be a superb candidate.
 
:eek: You don't see that everyday.

Leipzig are owned by Red Bull and were only formed a few years ago but they have a fair bit of money they get from Red Bull. The club is supposed to have at least 51% of it's ownership belonging to fans rather than any individual - as per the rules in Germany 0 but they've been quite good at finding loopholes to get round it.

They've been promoted up a few divisions despite being under a decade old but aren't very well liked because they are essentially a Red Bull advertisment that go's against everything football should be about.

Are the a holding tank for a PL team?

Doubt it. Red Bull are probably just happy to start throwing some money at their advertisment now they are in the big league.

Red Bull FC is a marketing club more than a football club, was a great documentary on tele about it the other year, the club exists to promote its drinks
