Bazoumana Touré

Get him signed and get Brendan getting the best out of him.

He'll be so raw at 18 but our coaching team should be able to get him up to a good level.

Hammarby sits on one of the Allsvenskan's most sought-after names in Bazoumana Toure.

In no time, earlier this summer he made sure to put a heavy name like Viktor Djukanovic behind him. Touré scored his first Allsvenskan goal at the end of May and since then it has only continued.

Think that this guy signed a five-year contract as recently as March and now has a development that is rushing and in many ways can be compared to Malick Yalcouye at IFK Gothenburg. That story eventually resulted in an 80-million-plus deal.

When it comes to the 18-year-old from the Ivory Coast, there are currently a long list of clubs mentioned such as Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Crystal Palace and Benfica.

According to FotbollDirekt's sources, Celtic are also involved and, according to our sources, are considered to belong to the seriously interested category.

According to FD's information, the Scots have now seen Touré on site in Stockholm through chief scout Joe Lefevre, who is said to have been impressed by what he has seen.

Celtic also become extra interesting because in the past year they have actually made their two biggest transfers of all time. The Portuguese Jota and Matt O Riley have been sold for close to 30 million euros each.

It is an absolutely necessary capacity to be able to meet Hammarby Football's hopes of being able to draw in an estimated 10 million euros.

That would give a place in a small exclusive crowd as the third all-svenskan transfer of all time over 100 million kroner: Sebastian Nanasi (130 million) with Malmö FF and Djurgården and Lucas Bergvall (110 million).

It's worth bearing in mind, however, that while Celtic now have the money required to meet Bajen's demands, the Scottish giants have only spent over €10m on three previous occasions. When Jota joined from Benfica, when Arne Engels joined from Augsburg and when Odsonne Edouard joined from Paris Saint Germain.

 

Would be an unbelievable January signing. Palma out and this lad in thanks.

 

Sverre nypan is who I want us to go for. Can’t remember what Scottish team played Rosenberg in the game I saw him in but he was 16 and only a few appearances I think up until that point but never seen a young player run the show like that.

also the lad ibrahim Sadiq who ended up going to AZ who absolutely dominated another Scottish team in Europe. Thought we shoulda been all over him too and he’s now 6 games 4 goals 3 assists in the Dutch league.

 

hope we go in for him

 

€10m is a lot, but we can afford it and I can guarantee you he’s the type who’ll go to a Leipzig or a Salzburg and tear it up before going for £50m.

I do really like the look of him. They’d probably accept €8m and a sell-on or something like that which is very affordable for us.

Hope we push for it and take a look in Jan.

 

Was it Hibs? I remember watching too and thought he looked impressive

 

Nypan was vs Hearts and Sadiq for Hacken was playing against Aberdeen, I think.

 

yep this one would be a incredible signing. Hope it happens. Some potential this kid so i don't think he'll come cheap.

 

Palma out for £3m and Toure in for £7m

 

Think we will buy 3-4 of real quality in the next two windows. This would be one, another winger , LB , Hatate replacement. Hatate sale (Jan or Summer )funding a fair bit of the next phase of spending. If we can keep hold of the rest of our top players and add those few extra bits of quality ( like this lad) we will have some side next season.

 

Aye it's pretty clear that next window we won't revert back to last year's windows..

It's gonna be 2 or 3 additions that improve the side I think..

A winger is probably our next top priority position with Forrest on the way out after this season, most likely anyway. Palma a certainty to go. Yang maybe out on loan..

Would give us Maeda, maybe this boy on the left. Kuhn and Forrest for the right and then to add another winger again in the summer. Unless we add a couple of wingers, one of them who could play out wide and up top as a third type option..

Then see how Valle is coming along and Taylor's contract. That could be an area that needs quality in then..

 

I think we'll get a CB and a LW next January window, and I'd be more than fine with this boy being the LW.

Would lean a bit more on the project side but he looks unbelievable for his age, 6 goals and 3 assists for Hammarby already this season

For around £5-£7 million it's a no brainer for me.

 

Can't see a centre half considering Carter-Vickers, Scales, Trusty, Nawrocki and Welsh are on the books..

Just spent 6 on Trusty. Carter-Vickers and Scales are our main pairing and won't be going anywhere. Welsh is homegrown he's deffo staying. Nawrocki I don't rate at all but will likely no have enough interest for a move as he's constantly injured..

 

I feel if Maeda keeps up how he’s started this season he’ll move next summer. Way too much talk publicly by Brendan “no player like him in football” that won’t go unnoticed. And he’s also approaching 27; could be his last chance at one of the top leagues.


I hope not but could see him and kyogo leaving next summer, hatate is a certainty too

 

No chance we'll lose all 3..

Hatate will go by next summer without a doubt..

 

Hatate's a cert, and Kyogo's 50/50 for me, but not a chance Maeda leaves next summer too. Regardless over the next two windows we'll be needing two wingers minimum, so fingers crossed this lad's one of them.

 

I don’t think there is any chance we would meet the asking price of €10m for Touré. He looks a talent for his age but if we were paying that sort of money you would expect we would want someone more proven?

It will be interesting to see how he does between now and the end of the season. It has to be remembered that the Swedish league isn’t the strongest although guys like Hugo Larsson and Sebastian Nanasi have shown an ability to step out of the league and make an impact in a big 5 league.

To contradict myself if we didn’t move for the boy soon and he keeps improving we would likely be pushed out. The fact Leverkusen etc are looking at him is a good sign as their recruitment recently has been excellent.

I suspect we would offer a deal that involved a chunky sell on but lower initial fee to look to share the risk but also reward with Hammarby.

It would be exciting to get an attacking talent of that sort of ilk in that on their day can mix it with the best sides. Moussa was probably the last one that sort of fitted that mould where he looked a threat against everyone including the likes of City.

 

Maeda keeps performing the way he has this season, especially in the CL . We'll struggle to keep him.
