Transfer Talk

Agree. He wouldn’t be an improvement. Would put him behind Lewis, Siegrist, McLaughlin and McGregor in our league. Worse than Bain too, imo.

 

I’ve always thought he was solid.

 

Anyone think jack butland would be available ? 27yr old and a good age ! Cant get in at crystal palace ! Always thought he was a good keeper

 

He not only just signed for them from Stoke?
Would have loved Tim Krul plenty experience quality keeper and only 32 thought he would have been 35 at least but he just signed a 4 year extension at Norwich in December im sure too

 

Sort of player we should have bought in the summer. My guess is Celtic didn't want to pay the 30 odd grand wages despite him only costing a million.

 

defo , just lost his way lst few seasons but there defo a player there , the other one i was thinking off if howe comes would be begovic ! His contracts up at end of the season and would be ideal for a few seasons ! Think he would be willing to come also and add a few more trophies to his collection!

 

Crazy to think at one point the potential butland had. Would be a great long term signing for us now id think as surely he’s accepted the fact those top 4 club dreams are gone and he’d be happy to play for us for years surely

 

Typical lawell with his hard on obsession with the wage budget

Another good shout! One that just came up cause hes just came on for Wolves John Ruddy 34 contract up end of June too

 

One that I would love to replace Eddy.



Rated £6m odd on TransferMarkt. Been good in the Bundesliga, he’s 23, quite classy and he’s also 6’7.

Not much 10 men camped in the box can do against a * that height who knows how to use it.

I'd imagine he'll be out of our reach now, unfortunately. 13 goals in 24 league games this season. Probably hot property at this point.

 

I know mate, probably a bit too much of a stretch, I’ve always thought we should go for a similar style.

I said the same about that Paul Onuachu for years and he’s probably out of our price range as well.

Ademi might be a shout though, utterly failed at Fenerbache but he was * hot at Basel

 

Aye I saw Onuachu's record for Genk this season. Mental.

I assumed he was just a big gangly * who had a decent record in Denmark because it's a rotten standard, but now he's tearing it up in Belgium. Must be handy enough.

 

Guys got a bit of skill and isn’t slow. Awkward *.

 

Onachu is one that is hard to understand why we wouldn’t have tried to get. Could have been a good replacement for Dembele and moved for just over £5m to Genk.

As you say he will be £20m+ now I would think if not even more.

 

Orsic the left winger at zagreb, hat trick tonight against spurs.

We should have permanent scouts in the balkans, croatia, czech republic, montenegro etc.

 

Agree fully we should have scouts in these regions as the time the likes of Orsic is getting game time at Dinamo Zagreb they are already out of our reach sadly as they are most likely to move for 8 figure fees or very high 7 at least.

In fairness we have tried to sign a few boys from Croatia and failed as they have signed for Dinamo Zagreb. Lovro Majer and Luka Ivanusec are two players we tried to buy before they went there. Orsic is actually a bit of a strange one in that he came through playing in Asia before moving back to Croatia.

They have a strangle hold on the domestic Croatian market and sign numerous promising players and loan them back nearly every window. NK Lokomotiva are practically a feeder club for them and the other teams tend to lose their top players to them even their closest rivals.

In the Czech Republic it is pretty similar with Slavia and Sparta Prague, not totally to the same extent as Croatia as there seems to be a lot of corruption in their game.

 

Hate using them as a reference point, but the smelly mob have done pretty wellin the Balkan market. Well I say they’ve done well I basically mean Barisic. Guy was what? 25? When he signed for them as captain of the relatively obscure Osijek. Complete gem of a player. The Balkan leagues are goldmines that the likes of Benfica, Sporting, Porto and Serie A clubs have been tapping into for years. And therein lies the problem at our club in terms of scouting, we are years behind really.

 

Done pretty well in the Balkan market?

They played Osijek in a qualifier and stumbled across him. Signed that utter diddy Grezda from them also

 

This.

Got so * lucky coming across Barisic.

Best bit of business they've done so far is the 50k for Kamara.
