Just done a search on Keba Cisse who we signed last summer on a pre contract. He looks more than ready to be part of our match day squad, so there’s a few quid saved if we’re looking at centre halves. ?

You beat me to A72, was gonna put the same in different words. The lad looks a beast, was watching clips on YouTube. We could have a gem on our hands, and with Madjo as well.

He's supposed to be a centre half/defensive midfielder, so Bogarde should go, ready-made replacement & pure profit on Bogarde's sale, which helps with the financial stuff. I've seen that Madjo has gone to some kind of boot camp thing, so maybe they're confident that they're gonna rule in his favour.
I'd keep him around rather than loan him out. I've got a good feeling about Madjo. L'pool threw Owen in at roughly the same age, what harm could it do. ??♂️

Unai wanted him in 1st team squad, but wasn't allowed due to rules. He really impressed him in training.

We've had some great No9's over the years, but you can't beat a Gary Thompson kind of striker that becomes a cult hero. Hope the same goes for Madjo.

Yep, same as well, mate. Hope we win that CAS case so he can play this season. He's born in England and played for England youth teams, let's hope they see sense, cos we could have another Duran on our hands, or a better version of Keinan Davis, who was decent.

Just thought as well, Jonny, not sure if this is right, because of his age (Madjo), he can be registered as an u23/development player, so as I understand it, the £10M we paid doesn't count in the rules, so gives us more wiggle room to spend elsewhere, I could be wrong though.
