We're not obsessed with anything. We went looking for a best in class DOF and he was the one we identified. We made an approach and now we are going through the process of acquiring him from an employer who doesn't want to make it easy.
We don't know that he "loves goddamn Southgate" aside from a few dodgy looking tweets from questionable sources.
He was also the man in the hotseat at Newcastle and Brighton - two English Premier League clubs, when they signed players like Caceido, MacAllister, Isak, Botman, Cucurella, Trossard, Mitoma, Ferguson, Gordon, Lamptey, Livramento and Tonali. If we were in the process of trying to poach a DOF from a Portugese club, 90% of you betwetters would be whining on here about why we weren't going for a Prem proven option like Ashworth.
He also admitted himself he had nothing to do with those transfers...
