sushimonster85 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Football Italia has never been topped. (Edit to say it's also criminal that James Richardson is clearly the best presenter of football in the country and remains hidden away on podcasts and BT's Italian footy coverage) Edited June 2, 2023 by sushimonster85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Looks a promising talent, I reckon we would be wise to send him to Hearts on loan to get regular first-team football Edited June 2, 2023 by TheInfiniteOdyssey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 We've been linked with a couple of big name out and out strikers in Osimhen and Roque. I do wonder what the vision for the formation is, long term. I get that you want depth and all but if we did sign Osimhen for example you're looking at a situation where our two best players are probably Isak and Osimhen. When push comes to shove, you're going to want them both starting most games. Maybe it's a case of simply playing Isak on the left but I don't know, I do wonder if Eddie sees Isak playing just off a CF eventually. (I don't think we'll get Osimhen... but man does he seem like an absolute dream signing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't think we'll get Osimhen... but man does he seem like an absolute dream signing) Yeah was thinking the same too. I do wonder if Eddie would want to go back to his favoured 4-4-1-1, I can definitely imagine Isak playing the King role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Gambia he's known as "Messi" He's a speedy flair player with a lot of tricks up his sleeve and a good shot on him. ASM is probably the best comparison from our current lot. His top level is very good but he can also go missing from games which is somehow expected from an 18 year old. However, he seems to raise his game against the top teams in Denmark, so I think he would thrive on a bigger stage than the Danish Superliga. He has had some disciplinary issues, e.g. fighting with teammates in training, destroying a corner flag when subbed off (Matt Ritchie style) etc., but hopefully Eddie and his team will take good care of that.

Belgium or Portugal ideally. We need to get a hurry on with this planned multi club model. Have some clubs in France, Belgium, Portugal etc where we can farm them out for a couple of seasons then bring them into the first team squad or sell on for profit which will help with FFP.

Krabbe2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 For his development, he can still stay 1-2 years in Denmark. The league is not that bad there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'd be absolutely shocked if we didn't have a separate budget for youth prospects. It's a huge priority for the club, we've hired a lot of scouts and analysts to unearth them, and we've enhanced our coaching staff and training staff to develop them once they get into the club proper. I expect we'll be doing even more this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 FFP is our budget, Eales said it earlier this week. This £6m very much comes out of our total transfer spend, still a good idea to allocate some budget to prospects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Eljif Elmas is apparently on our list. Pretty versatile attacking midfielder/central midfielder from Napoli. Seen Romano talk about him with his agent, in relation to both Liverpool and ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 It’s called an allocation. It can be a separate budget line item in the whole pot. The original suggestion is totally fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
