Transfer Rumours Summer '23 Transfer Thread

I would be surprised if that happened, he is a right back and we have Christie and Coyle in that position.

 

Agreed.

 

Million Manhoef from Vitesse would be a great signing for any Championship club. Really think we should be looking at Belgium and the Netherlands if the club thinks we get better value from foreign leagues.

 

Now there’s a name that should spawn some original chants!

 

Message from a Scunthorpe mate of mine who supports his own town club, get ****ed.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

I'd run a mile from the dutch league, it's the polar opposite in terms of style from the Championship

 

Surely after his loan exploits, the one thing he won't be doing is staying in the National League North.

 

Could he end up at Donny with Grant I wonder?

 

Piroe Hamer and Flemming have been top 15 players in the division…

For Rosie’s style it’d be a great place to get players

 

Ye was gonna say

Flemming piroe and hamer alone have been exceptional cheap signings

 

Care to elaborate? To my knowledge, Eredivisie is known for power, pace and intensity which is similar to the English leagues in terms of tempo.

 

Not these days.

 

The Eredivisie is a good league but it has plenty of similarities to PL2, it's got the youngest average age of the big leagues, which is why many PL sides have sent their youngsters over there in the past few years and to the Eerste Divisie too. But the physicality is none existent and one of the things we desperately need this summer is physicality. I'm not saying you can't get decent players from over there and it's a great start for technical young players into senior football.

There are going to be plenty of expectations for us this year, we won't have much to spend on transfer fees and it feels way too risky to go to Holland. Let's be honest, when we make analyst-based signings, our record is pretty poor as well.

I don't really want to see us signing players from anywhere other than domestically and Turkey (Tan has a decent knowledge of the MLS too), they're the leagues we know comprehensively. I'm not saying for a second the Turkish League is as good as the Dutch League but it still gives us an edge.

 

I’m sorry but both Turkish league and MLS are retirement leagues for players who have played most of their career in the top 5 European leagues. Very rarely do you see players coming from either of these leagues to better ones. However, the Dutch and Belgian leagues are pipelines for better leagues and players from there do well in English football. Are you suggesting our recruitment from Turkey has been better than Burnley’s from Belgium? Come on.

 

and so it starts….never heard of him

 

Valencia signed him for £13m in 2019

Last full Uruguayan international striker turned out okay in the championship…

 

I started following him last year and then stopped because anything he said never happened.

 

He got the Seri and Tufan stories right last year. Seri in particular he was insistent on when Baz said his head had been turned.
