Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

Manucho.

 

He is a typical little fanny as we used to call them at school. Makes a squeeling sound if you so much as nip him. He ain't built for championship football.

 

Isn't it a good example of how goal records don't always mean a lot, especially when you're looking at small numbers?

Essentially he's made one nice finish at Rotherham, and successfully charged down the keeper once. He may or may not be a good player but I think it's foolish to conclude anything based on those two goals alone.

 

And Sharp wouldn't have got to the Cov chance that Ohio took.

 

4 points just from those two goals
Read it and weep

 

Its not meaningless though
His two goals won us two games
4 points

 

If he wins us more points
The stat can be anything you want it to be

But ye stats like that should have a minimum games played

 

I reckon we’ll sign him, he’ll play in the league cup game where the whole team plays ****, then in January he’ll go out on loan to league 1 citing him not being ready yet.

 

I said this a while back. He has the attributes of a good Championship striker, he'll need a bit of time but due to FFP we have to be creative and rely on developing players instead of just buying ready-made ones like some can do.

It didn't help that he wasn't fit when he joined, I'd still like to see him strip a bit more off yet

 

How could he not be fit when he'd played 11 games this season for Standard Leige and 8 games for Netherlands U21 during 2023?!
Maybe 'not ready' for our style, but can't see how he could be so far off being fit?

 

Agreed, he’s not particularly technical, but that can be coached, especially at his age. He’s an absolute unit, clearly got a very good work ethic too as he’s barely been used and has always put a shift in even after been left out for a while.

His level of physicality is premier league level, pace and strength, he’d be a real asset and i reckon he’d not cost more then a million or 2.

 

He hadn't started a single game for them had he? He had barely played.

 

He could cause carnage running at defences, but he’s not going to do that here. He’d be much better off going elsewhere but I wouldn’t complain if we signed him for a reasonable price.

 

Would be interested how he’d play after a full pre season

 

Why not? Delap does.

 

Ohio is raw
But theres a good player there

Like i said
Not many players join a new country anf league in january and hit thr ground running
Especially younger players

He would get more and more used to the system as well as improve his touch
And he'd be cheap youd imagine
