Fair enough. But this is his standard. This is Krafth. I’ve seen him play for clubs in Sweden, Bologna and Amiens. I’ve also seen him play for the Swedish national team. It’s like if someone buys Paul Dummet and expects him to become a Leighton Baines or a Ben Chillwell. Just no. I would love to have a Swedish player at NUFC but I wasn’t expecting it to be Krafth. A more likely destination for Krafth would’ve been Brentford or Leeds. However, I hope he can prove me wrong and become a steady PRL right back. I highly doubt he will though. Krafth is a nice lad and will give his best for NUFC about that I am sure.

No.

Don’t know about that. Krafth told Swedish media Bruce was in the stands when Amiens played Hull in a friendly this summer and that was the first time he (and his agent) knew about the interest from NUFC.

Funny thing is... Bruce convinced Charnley to spend some extra money on Krafth. Not the other way around.

I think Krafth will be decent when it's all said and done. I like his energy and desire. Just needs to temper things a bit, very different league to what he has come from. KaKa out matchday fishing again. It's way too early. And this is one game against a top team with very difficult players on that side man. We'll see. Weren't you one of those writing off Willems as fat and slow after Arsenal. Just give it a rest. Your type are never right about half of your claims every player is rubbish. To early for what? For how many games have you seen him play? Krafth isn’t good enough for the Premier League. I've seen him play three premier league games. Same as everyone else. I’ve seen him play for Östers IF, Helsingborg, Bologna, Amiens and the Swedish national team. From what I have seen and know about Krafth he’s not good enough for Nufc.

He is Championship standard. A good fit for Brentford or QPR. Been saying this for a while now. A good lad but not good enough for NUFC.

Krafth on Bruce: ”A funny guy, joking around with everyone at the training ground.”

Don’t know if Nickson scouted him, but Nickson (and Bruce) convinced the board to sign him.

What hate?

He was the worst player on the pitch that game Krafth is an average Championship player at best. Hopefully he can improve. Yedlin's a Championship player. Manquillo is, too. He's the best of a bad bunch IMO. I liked his calmness on the ball. Checked his WC record and it wasn't as good as I expected. Didn't play in any of the group stage games and then came off th bench in the 80 something minute in the second round and then the 85 mins in the QF. Sweeden did finish top of that group, though, so experience... Okay. Not sure if serious. You think Krafth is the best RB at the club based on only three games? I have confidence he can be because the other two are so weak. Plus, he is starting ahead of Manquillo, no? Krafth is a Bruce signing. Nickson and Bruce convinced Ashley to spend the extra £1m-£2m on him. Of course he is starting. I’ve seen almost every game with Manquillo or Yedlin in it (at NUFC) and I’ve also followed Krafth since his days at Östers IF. Don’t know why people think Krafth is the best option of them Because he’s a Swedish international? Because he’s tall for a full back? Because he speaks very good English? Anyway... according to himself his best position is at right wingback with freedom to join the attack. Always looking to improve his game, has good technique and strenght. But remember, he struggled at Bologna and is second choice at right back in the Swedish national team after Mikael Lustig.

No I think they will force him to resign in February/Mars. Not sack him. They will never put their hands up in the air and say ”hey we where wrong, it was a shit appointment.”

Why do people think this? At a normal club? Yes! At NUFC with Ashley and Charnley in charge? No.

His agent is Patrick Mörk. A well-known agent in Sweden. Patrick Mörk said it was chief scout Steve Nickson and head coach Steve Bruce who convinced NUFC to spend the extra cash on Emil Krafth to get him signed. The day before he signed, his agent got a SMS from NUFC saying ”deal on” sort of and the contract was agreed short after.

Why are they signing a 20-years old player who recently played in level 7 of the French league system?

We are heavily linked with right-sided defender/wingback Emil Krafth from Amiens in the French Ligue 1 and some journalists over there says the deal is almost done. According to himself his best position is at right wingback with freedom to join the attack. Always looking to improve his game, has good technique and strenght. But remember, he struggled at Bologna and is second choice at right back in the Swedish national team after Mikael Lustig... I think he’s in the same category as Yedlin and Manquillo.

What exactly did he do well? I watched the game and he did nothing. Some poor passes in the final third and kept running down players giving stupid fouls away.

I really hope you're not being serious According to the bookies.

I watched it, don’t know why. Awful, just awful. Surprised we didn’t conceded more goals. Could have been 6-0. Darlow, Colback, Shelvey, Lazaar, Sterry and Aarons all with very poor performances. Hayden was decent.

The BZG have no power to ”keep” him. It’s against the PRL rules (I recently read).

Mitch said all along that the Companies House thing had to be related because the project was called 'Project Monochrome'. But why reveal ”Project Monochrome” after the company was created and not mention it before? The ”Heads of Terms” cropped document he posted have I seen on Twitter before. Two weeks ago. He first posted it a few weeks ago. It’s not new from him. Really? Where? On his twitter feed. No. I just spent 10 minutes looking through it It’s litterally on the page you are posting on. Tweet from 5th June, you quoted it Yes. Of course. That I know. I thought LV was talking about the cropped ”Heads of Terms” image.
