But have you noticed that he has a goatee to hide how pointy his chin is? It's a no from me.

 

Sebastian Olderheim

17 year old starting midfielder for Staebaek who are mid table in the Norwegian second tier..

Has 6 goals and 7 assists in 26 games so far. Scored in a win against Belgiums under 19s the other day and got a last minute winner assist against Israel yesterday. Looks a baller..



Oscar Spiten Nysaeter

17 year old striker for the same outfit. Has bit of pace and power about him, scores all types and both would be good pick ups for the future for no too much I would imagine..

He has 11 goals and 3 assists in 22 games. Scored for Norway's under 19's yesterday..



There's been another couple of standout players from this league that have gone to Leipzig and Salzburg this season..

 

What's it like trying to sign players from the Russian League just now?? Iv always liked that Strahinja Erakovic from Zenit...seen him playing for Serbia and he looks solid and I think we need to go out and spend a decent amount on a quality CB if we're gonna punt Nawrocki Lagerbielke and Welsh in the summer.

 

For a striker Romulo Cardoso playing in Turkey would be a decent shout. He’s not long turned 23, is 6’3 strong, quick, happy to drop in and link play and is a capable goalscorer. He has 10 goals and 7 assists from 20 league games in Turkey this season. As can be seen from his assist numbers he is actually pretty unselfish for a striker if a team mate is in a better position to score he will pick him out as displayed in the video below.

He will sign permanently for the team Goztepe from Brazil as he is on a loan to buy for €2.5m but I would expect him to move on this summer to a bigger club.

He has all the attributes you would want in a modern centre forward.

 

A midfielder who would be a good fit for what we are looking for is Mamadou Sangare, a 22 year old Malian international that is playing at Rapid Vienna.

He is around 5’11/ 6 ft, covers the ground quickly, very good in defensive duals and interceptions, reads the defensive side of the game well, but also is good on the ball. Secure in his short passing, can set out of pressure well and has a nice switch of play of his left foot. He would be a good partner in midfield for McGregor and could deputise for him too if we were playing a single 6.

He only joined Rapid in the summer but was linked with a move to Galatasary in January for €4.5m but it never happened. Watching his highlights he looks exactly the type of DM/ box to box midfielder we could be doing with given his physical attributes.







Also Rafiu Durosimni seems to be back up and running post injury for Viktoria Plzen, for me he would be the striker I would be going for. He has had 13 appearances with 7 goals and 3 assists but has only played 695 minutes (so 7.7 90’s). His last performance away to Sparta Prague he got two goals and an assist.

 

Surely have to be looking at Fitz..

Kuhn has been a big success from there. We have a partnership with a club in the second tier..

Fitz has 7 goals and 2 assists in his last 7. Only failing to contribute in 1 game amongst that..

20 goal contributions in 22 games..

He's at a good age to come in and do the damage straight away and from a side and league where you think he'd be well up for it..

 

That’s some shout. Would imagine his parent club will be wanting some big money. Has all the attributes.

 

Triantis had another good game yesterday. He has shown he can do it vs the big boys in our league and could provide the physicality and athleticism that we are lacking in midfield. Still probably the best player outside the top 2 sides in Scotland

 

Does he still have the goatee though?

 

Based off small glimpses he may have played a blinder in the half hour odd I caught in the two games I’ve seen him, and a 3 minute YouTube video. Can we please go all out for Haji Wright?

6’3, strong fast plays up front and on the wing. In his prime at 27, has a proven track record of goals wherever he’s been. Schalke, in Turkey, at Coventry. Weirdly only place he’s not, was a move to Venlo after ripping it up for Schalke. Weird move that.

US international, CCV and Trusty being here would help there, familiar faces. Coventry signed him for £9m in 2023 so dunno what price but its the exact profile of guy I want. Powerful, can play up front or the wing. Like a Sammy but without the unpredictable heart and effort of Sammy

Wonder now that O'Shea's been relegated at Ipswich if we'll go back for him..

The talk was that Rodgers was desperate to get him in. He had a release clause at Burnley, maybe has one again?

 

Tony Watt suggested we sign shankland, we must have really * Tony off for him to suggest that slow donkey

 

Mentioned him before but he continues to produce, I think we should be all over Benjamin Nygren of Nordsjaelland. Some more details in the link below but he is flying this year can play either wing as an attacking midfielder or a sort of false centre forward.

His creative passing and chance creation is very high and he is a good finisher particularly of his left foot. He is also captaining the team at just 23 with an expiring contract he would be a great pick up for likely a £2m tops in the summer.

I also think we should look at Harry Darling at Swansea as a Bosman option for centre back. He is very good on the ball.
