Seems like their technical director was ex Chelsea when he went there.There does seem to be an awful lot of players being sold the “European dream” and barely getting a look in, as in England you’re only getting an opportunity at a decent club if you’re an elite talent. Ampadu is another who’s played 3 games for Leipzig
Obviously this one is over now but as follow up this is where he's currently at.
Dijon in fee negotiations with Monaco for Jonathan Panzo - Get French Football News
AS Monaco are seeking around €2m from fellow Ligue 1 side Dijon in order to sell them 19-year-old English central defender Jonathan Panzo, according to RMCwww.getfootballnewsfrance.com
If we get the Callum Wilson money pronto this would pay for Panzo

Why would we do that? There’s far more pressing concerns than a centre back for a massive fee, for us anyway, who his club are trying to get rid of after two games
He’s at Monaco what do you expect. He’s supposed to be tipped to be a future England centre back everywhere I read. Money is already set aside apparently for Sheaf and Tyler Walker. So yeah I’d use any additional on a CB

How would people feel if we sold Rose or Hyam at a higher fee and used some of the money to bring in Pancho and some of it to strengthen elsewhere?
Just mad there is a rumour of us signing a player from Monaco (actual Monaco) and it has been taken seriously over 6 pages. SHFWF

any madder than the fact there is a story of us signing a player from Arsenal (actual Arsenal) and it has been taken seriously over 18 pages?
We’ve been signing players from big clubs for years. It’s just a large majority of their fans have no idea who they are!

Ah, cheers!Shows How Far We’ve Fallen
Was a common refrain as we dropped down the leagues as we’d get beaten to a player by Rochdale or something.
Personally I wouldn’t mind if one player sold got us two players like Panzo and one other. We are a selling club and providing the money was reinvested I wouldn’t care. Nobody is irreplaceable and in some instances it can make you stronger like when Liverpool sold Coutinho and reinvested the money to make the team stronger

Panzo is £4.5m, Thats about half our squad
If the report quoted further up is to believed then pancho is available for £1.8m or 2m euros depending on your brexit stance, surely rose and haym are both worth more than that?

A lot of moves would of been planned on the back of Wilson going unfortunately the big payment days are gone I feel with Wilson.Feel like we may have made a move had Wilson been sold already. No chance of it happening now.

Mo Konjic came from Monaco if I remember correctly - admittedly we are no longer in the top league, but shows that people believe in what we're trying to do. I do think Robins, Viveash and co have made Coventry an attractive club to players, and it's great to see!
We signed Konjic in Feb 99, Henry signed for Juventus for £10.5m in Jan 99 then Arsenal later that year. I highly doubt we ever had a chance of signing him, our record signing at that point was £3m.fun fact about when we signed Mo we had the chance to purchase thierry henry but we dint rate him or dint want another forward. (Can’t remember the exact wording m)
Van Nistelrooy and Zenden are 2 players that I seem to recall stories of us looking at before they became widely known.We signed Konjic in Feb 99, Henry signed for Juventus for £10.5m in Jan 99 then Arsenal later that year. I highly doubt we ever had a chance of signing him, our record signing at that point was £3m.
One player we were linked with and scouted heavily was David Trezeguet iirc

Story I heard was a bit earlier and we were offered him and decided not to pursue it - he was considered more a winger at that point. Also we had Dublin, Huckerby and Whelan so we felt well stocked in the forward department. Fee was about £4m I believe. Think it would've been around 1997.
Is that from the book Staying Up? The club would have had hundreds of players on their database and I’m always wary chairman/scouts who claim they could have had a top player for cheap after they’ve made it to make it look like they know what they’re doing.
Steve Parish said Palace could have had Alphonso Davies and Ranson said we could have signed Henderson and Carroll....
