Steve Bone

But he's certainly...

You know, if he was to get interest from a Premier League club in January, you wouldn't be greatly surprised, would you?

Because there's a few teams up there that could do with that sort of outlet, that have seen him playing well in the Championship and think he'd be worth a look.

And I think he said himself, hasn't he, he wants to play in the Premier League before he retires.

He's not getting any younger and if he's going to do that, he's going to need to do it soon.

I just hope nobody pinches him from under our nose in January.

Probably a few years ago.

Harry?

Yeah, it would have been in his day, wouldn't it, I suppose.

And we did sell Lasana Diarra to Real Madrid, didn't we?

Did we?

Yeah.

I can't imagine there have been too many since then.

I'm thinking back to those League 2 days where we were losing 1-0 home to York City and drawing with Torquay and struggling to beat Fleetwood and Morecambe.

I don't think there were too many Real Madrid scouts there then, was there?

Yeah, it's interesting actually because when people heard...

Real Madrid were interested in Yang, I think they were thinking, hmm, don't know if we've seen enough of him to kind of explain that, really.

But, you know, Real Madrid have probably got a thousand scouts operating around the world, so they spread their net far and wide.

They probably heard a few good things about him, perhaps through Tottenham contacts, and thought they'd have a look at him.

If they'd been looking at him playing for us in the last two or three weeks, I don't think they'd have gone away starting to write their cheques.
