    Exactly the type of player we need to add steel to our midfield. Being realistic Brown is now 34 and slowly needs phased out. The type of player would be the perfect replacement, able to do all of the dirty work but offer more in terms of starting attacks and bringing the ball forward.

    hiroki sakai? would be out of price probably,
    gotoku sakai probably a more viable, money wise. but hes been * the majority of last season (after hamburg change their manager hes been going downhill)

    also that his team mate tatsuya ito (dribbler, pacey, but with glaring lack of strength and fitness, also woeful cross, but hey you cant expect a ready made world class for under 5 mil )looking for transfer for a more playing time

    Betolacci could be the alternative to Sawyers.

    Bertolacci would be a great signing IMO, lost his way a bit but we would be a new challenge to reinvigorate him.

    No doubting his quality and experience.

    Would need to adapt to the pace 100% and he’s a big enough lad to cope with the physical side. In terms of our European campaign he’d be a great asset to have

    Would prefer Sawyers still..

    Sawyers looks tailor made for us. Can mix it, sit deep and is a leader himself. More adapted our game..

    No sure Bertolacci would suit us..

    I've not seen enough of either.

    Bertolacci obviously has the better pedigree but Sawyers seems to be rated as well. The latter has went a bit quiet that's all I'm thinking..

    Hes tiny mate from what I've seen.

    Listed as 5ft 10 but any videos he looks small and nimble.

    Bertolacci was unreal for Genoa.

    Looked completely lost at Milan though.

    Could be a masterstroke on a free at his peak but he looks very lightweight from what I remember of him..

    I agree I do think the Sawyers deal is dead. They signed their replacement and we haven't made a bid since. Would indicate it's gone..

    Not seen it in the Scottish press yet.

    In saying that. Probably a good thing.

    I just assumed the Bertolacci stuff was bullshit, but if we were to get him and Cifuentes I think it'd be huge for us.

    I think the Bertolacci rumours started from this guy..

    Pretty sure he was taking the pish.

    Just bring watching his youtube and he does look good..

    No even sure if it's the same player I was thinking of. Had long hair I think..

    Looks a Rogic type replacement. Clever player with a sweet left peg..

    Could be a coup..

    Would tie in with Lenny's comments before. Think he said a young player to come in with another right back..

    A loan to buy. Solid, very attacking, quick full back with plenty scope to improve..

    Would be a yes from me..
