    Had similar thoughts about Engels recently. That's one tangible thing he can work on in pre season that can, as you say, take him up a level. There are others, like receiving the ball back to goal, turning and moving the ball up the park quickly. Wouldn't take much for him to master these type of things and become an excellent player.

    I put Bernardo in the same bracket, a few wee tweaks on the training pitch, lots of effort and a good pre-season and he could be a huge asset. Same goes for Idah.

    Sure someone mentioned that Oliver Antman at Go Ahead Eagels. Be magic for that RW position

    I liked the look of him, he is another who was at Nordsjaellland but with Adringa, Sulemana, Osman and Scheldrup etc being there didn’t really get a run. He would be a good Kuhn replacement for RW as he is very fast, more powerful than Kuhn and prepared to go to the byline with an eye for a cut back or low cross.

    Given what he would cost he is someone else I think that could offer good value and have an impact in Europe for us.

    Not one for the sell on camp, he's 28. But the kinda midfielder I think we need as well as a CDM. A box to box runner who's powerful and good height. 9 goals for PAOK last season.



    CB option. 6ft 3, fast and powerful. Ligue 2. From those clips he can play right OR left. He looks perfect.

    Noticed for the Danish under 21's coming on shortly a boy called Noah Nartey..

    19 year old centre mid who we'll be very aware of at Brondby due to us scouting Kvistgaarden for 12 year..

    He looks class

    Mobile
    Very technical
    Skillful
    Good in the challenge
    That kind of player who has certain qualities of McGregor in being able to take the ball forward in to space or beat a man but more natural in the defensive side of the game....much more physically imposing and aggressive

    He had 3 goals and 5 assists in 27 and is the deep lying midfielder in a lot of the clips..

    Giovanni Reyna has 1 year left on his deal at BVB and looks like leaving.

    He'd be a great option and would annoy the Huns no end.

    Probably missed the boat on him but he'd be a great option. I'm sure he plays both sides.

    That one was a bit unfortunate as it did sound like we were ready to bid then he got a collarbone freak injury in the next game.

    It would likely be him or Orjasaeter and the later seems to be more in the frame just now.

    On the topic of Panathinaikos, he was on loan from Marseille and got their POTY. Back to France now. Full Moroccan International.

    You're probably right but I'd definitely sign both. Especially given Moro can play on the right.

    He does actually look a pretty decent player tbf dealbreaker for me would be whether he has still has the blonde hair or not... * shocking decision man lol.

    Where that would be ideal I can see us signing one of them, Balikwisha, Nygren, Osmand and possibly a more development option like the lad from Anderlecht that was mentioned or someone else rather than two big investments.

    Either that we don’t buy one of Orjasaeter or Balikwisha, we buy a striker like Strelec and Maeda is back being a left winger.

    Funny you mention Strelec as I watched his highlights again. I actually think he would be pretty good for us. He has height, decent pace, good with the ball, can finish and crucially his link up play is excellent. Looks a very technical striker.

    I wouldn't pay 6 or 7m for him though. Would see him as a £4m signing coming from that league.

    Even if we did sign him we'd still need a left and right winger imo.

    Jota is done till January or February earliest you'd think.

    I agree, there is a lot to Strelec’s game to like.

    I also agree we still need a right and left winger but to me this is where Maeda comes in, is he our main striker or main left winger?

    If it’s main striker we need a right and left winger with Nygren being an option at RW or AM, I think if Balikwisha comes in he would be LW or AM, Orjasaeter would be LW could play RW at a push. Then we likely need another right winger to rotate with Nygren.

    If we see Maeda as a left winger and signed a Strelec he has played as a ST or a 10 previously. I think you sign one of Balikwisha or Orjasaeter and then buy a starting right winger to compete with Nygren who would more often play as a AM in that model.

    So to me it comes down to where Maeda can do both where do we primarily see him playing to build the rest of the squad around.

    Loan to buy from Inter. 6ft 5 CB. Left sided. Only signed there last summer but was sent out on loan in January. Can't see him making it.

    Seen someone mention that both Fabian Reider and Albert Gronbaek are up for sale at Rennes. Would be all * over both of them.

    Could probably get both for £20m and no doubt we could get around £12m for Hatate.
