    He's definitely nowhere near 6x the player (with £4.5m being 6x what we got for Evans).

    Agree with this. Although I dont believe if we got him it would be anywhere near £4.5m, if we could get him for around £2 - £2.5 it would be a good buy, although I can't see them wanting to sell for that.

    Read he is 5'9 and eleven stone!

    Not really a midfield enforcer ?!

    How big is Scott Parker? How tall is Paul McKenna?

    James Chester is no bigger and he's a centre half!

    I think Morgan Amalfitano will be the first midfielder to arrive. Loan with a view to a permanent.

    Who is this Amalfitano? His name keeps popping up, but I can't say I've heard of him.

    Does say he has joined Olympiacos but he hasn't. He has played once for France last year and played quite a few games in the champions league. Would be a quality addition.

    Looks like Karabah has blown off his move to Luzern and is heading over here on Wednesday for a week long trial. Do u-20 caps work towards getting a work permit?

    They don't alone, but there is an 'exceptional talent' rule that allows you to sign a young player who doesn't meet the international cap requirement and they help towards that.

    That could come in handy then. Judging by the videos of him he looks like a great raw talent. To secure him would be great, but at 19 he wouldn't be able to play in the youth team and it'd be unfair to stick him in the reserves.

    Is this the first time we've poached a promising youngster from somebody else's youth system? (I'd count Brady, but I'm not sure he'd ever break into Man U's first team and Chester, Dudgeon and Simpson were all at least 21 when we signed them)

    Dudgeon was 20 when we signed him, there's only a years difference between him and Brady.

    Ah fair enough I suppose, but he wasn't looking like breaking into the first team was he?

    When was the last time we signed a really promising youngster who would, had they stayed, made it into their club's first team? Boaz Myhill?

    Kim Källström is not getting any playtime in Spartak Moscow atm.
    Always rated him. Wouldn't be too expensive I reckon/loan deal. Just sayin <whistle>

    He's a great player, maybe he's on Brucey's list? That young Swedish lad Sunderland signed seems to be impressing.

    If we're looking at wingers, I thought Jiloan Hamad looked really good for Malmo (even though they got battered). At 22 he looks like he's got a decent future ahead of him.

    Yeah, kind of surprising with Daniel Moberg Karlssson (DMK) in Sunderland. He's been alright in the Swedish league and then suddenly joins Sunderland. But it seems like he's done a good job so far. Hamad is a decent player, but I would probably prefer Miiko Albornoz in Malmö (although his recent sentence off the pitch is a big NO GO) Proper good player though!

    Yeah Jesus. But at least his club stuck by him, that's good to see. Must have been awkward to go back to training after the sentence was carried out.

    True. Really awkward situation. But I trust that you will give Brucey a call regarding Källström?
