    Just about to sign for Augsburg for 20 million euros. Crazy money for a guy that age straight from MLS. Interested to see how he gets on.

    A potential left back target for now or the summer on a free would be Rafa Soares. He is 26 year old, Portuguese left back, known for his good delivery and quality on the ball. Has decent pace and takes a good set piece too.

    He was once a top prospect at Porto with Liverpool tracking him before they signed Robertson. This was an article on him at the time, https://footballwhispers.com/blog/who-is-liverpool-transfer-target-rafa-soares/

    He sounds a bit like a left footed version of Juranovic. The video attached shows how he plays .

    Huns have worryingly been linked with him.

    He'd be class for us. Would add height out wide too.

    A lot of talk of bosmans being targeted which I am glad to hear given we are still rebuilding a squad on a fairly tight budget.

    Some I saw worth a look:

    GK Andres Linde and Carljohan Eriksson both already free agents or end of season Benjamin Siegerst or Yahia Fofana (Cracking Prospect on a free)

    LB Rafa Soares (left back similar to Juranovic), Kenneth Paal, Erik Wekesser, Anthony Caci, Nicolas Cozza.

    CB Riechedly Bazoer, Danilho Doehki, Jerome Onguene, Joachim Nilsson.

    CM (8 type) Magnus Kofod Andersen, Finn Ole Becker, Rodney Kongolo, John Swift.

    Winger: Albert Gudmundsson, Zinedine Ferhat, Sikiri Dembele, Vladyslav Kochergin

    ST Ercan Kara, Dany Mota, Danilo (Ajax), Elijah Adebayo, Oscar Estupinan

    I would be aiming to target one from each of these 6 areas. If we got a couple signed on pre-contracts we could pay a small fee to get them in now, others could wait to the summer.

    Big picture sign Jota & CCV, sign Wolf loan option to buy, sign 1 or 2 of the above ahead of schedule have another 3-5 lined up for the summer (probably depend on moving on a few to make squad room just now.)

    Hope we are keeping an eye on Jens Petter Hauge's situation.

    Onloan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Milan but according to transfermarkt only started 29% of his 17 appearances. Milan paid £4m...would be interested on a loan deal similar to Jota if we could pull it off in the summer. I don't think he is out of our reach.

    If we sign Ferhat and/or Wolf/Gudmondsson then he wouldnt be required, mind.

    I was shocked when I seen Milan let him go out on loan.

    He was outstanding against us and I thought he had impressed in his other opportunities there.

    Would take him in a heartbeat.

    Signed for Brighton for €8m and immediately loaned out to their feeder club in Belgium.

    The more ‘football groups’ appearing is going to make our recruitment ever more important than ever.

    See the thing is, with no DoF or even Head of recruitment in place, we'll have limited scope...

    The window so far is all Ange and the usual Irish prospect..

    You honestly think Fabregas, who wasn't a runner for basically all his career, being able to play Ange's football at 34 years of age?

    Are Rogic or turnbull runners? They fit in to his system the right player can still help a team don't need a full team of kyogos sprinting 24/7 but besides that I don't actually think we can or will get him simply posted it cause I had seen Nicholas mention it

    Danilo Doekhi looks set to sign for the Huns.

    Would prefer him to Bazoer as a CB, at least.

    He might end up signing for them but there was also a mention on Napoli interest and he is as positive about them in his praise as Rangers. He also mentions there are a host of clubs and the articles say Rangers are yet to offer terms.

    I think there is a bit to go in that one yet.

    Can see it happening purely due to the dutch connection and the fact its a free theyll chuck a lot of money at him, will be a Goldson replacement.

    He seems exactly what we are missing, someone a bit taller and more commanding but can play a bit.

    There’s no doubt he is a good player the one thing I would worry about him with us would be his pace or lack of it. When I have saw him play (admittedly it’s only on a few occasions) he doesn’t look the quickest and given our high line could be an issue.

    His height would be a big plus over Bazoer but I think Bazoer is considerably better on the ball than Doekhi.
