    Can see this happening. Has the full backs for bombing on, wingers inverting inside (expect a couple to come in this window).

    Add a new DMF to help shield the defence. Could even he be tempted to use Bernardo in there also.

    Def thinking it's gonna be a change to a 4-2-3-1. Good links and def some joined up thinking going on here. Hopefully get them done in the next few weeks. Be stable for the qualifiers.

    Looks fairly stocky in those highlights.

    Having watched a few longer videos of him , he looks literally sensational.
    16 goals in 32 appearances last season.
    Will hit the ground running here. Think he will be seen as a RW .

    Reminds me also a wee bit of that Ola Solbakken who terrorised us for Bodo a few years back.

    His position will be interesting.

    Noticed he played centrally at CAM and CM in Europe for them and scored 3 against Fenerbache and a double against Ludogrets.

    I think from his vids as well be spends just as much time centrally as out wide. So I dunno whether to trust those transfermarkt stats.

    I know he has struggled since leaving Bodo but see as a cheap, even to cover option I would take Solbakken. Roma will want to punt him and for Serie A he is on a modest £13k a week so easily affordable for us and I think they wouldn’t want much of a fee, even a loan with an option to see if he could perform.

    They signed him on bosman so didn’t actually pay anything for him.

    How we set up would be perfect for him, ball dominating attacking team, mainly play in opposition half but then in Europe he can use his blistering pace that destroyed Roma in behind. If Kuhn does go I would take him as an option and to cover Jota.

    If Nygren is signed a front four in a 4-2-3-1 of Orjasaeter, Balikwisha, Nygren and Maeda could be very effective as once an understanding was built you could actually have them rotating positions in game.

    He will do for me. Looks as if he puts in a shift

    A very sensible bit of business for relatively cheap price.

    Going by the video, he reminds me of a faster Rogic. As usual, videos can be deceptive, but he looks the part.

    Looks decent but will wait till confirmed and has played a good few games before deciding if he is good or another project.
