Summer '24 transfer window

Looks a bit like Stewart in the video clip. Very promising this . Should sway the fans now with yesterdays news of two in. Mendy no more I'd think. Probably spent the cash on this lad ?

 

I wouldnt be surprised if Simic was 1st choice all along, i think Salzburg have been in contract negotiations with him during the summer but he hasnt signed so is now available

 

Oh, please god no!

 

Maybe he was first choice all along and Mendy was 2nd choice?

 

I am quite excited about the profile of him my only worry is him and isidor are still young so will we have the experienced striker we all thought we needed?

I suppose isidor and Simic have a few senior apps under their belt

 

Quite a fair few appearances between them and goals

 

Never heard of Simic, but he's young, foreign, i have no idea what he looks like let alone how he plays, he also has a name i can spell so is going to be class.

Bring him home

 

Looks like Quinny's long lost son in those vids.

 

I didnt care about whether they were experienced or not, its easy to sign an experienced striker but it's hard to sign n experienced good striker

Simic n isidor have both played at a good level n have good minutes under their belts. They also have the physical profile that fits what we want in a CF - both a good size, have pace n are mobile to press n cover the ground

Be exciting to get both in if it happens

 

So, Isidore and Simic, then? I'd be well happy with that, much more exciting signings than Mendy imo. Both ready to do a job now but with huge potential for growth, much more aligned with "the model" than Mendy (that's a good thing, imo).

I wonder whether the club was thinking Mendy needed to come in as the senior pro to play the majority of games, with either Isodore or Simic behind him, then Mayenda as a very developmental player just getting the odd minutes here and there. But now Mayenda has shown he's ready for (and in fact, needs) more gametime, we've pivoted to these two exciting young players with a view they will share minutes a bit more evenly, along with Mayenda?

 

Scored in the champions league last season n he was valued around €12 million on transfer market in Dec

 

The Stewart thing is exactly what I thought when I saw him

 

Agree with a lot of that but don’t get the huge club bit

 

All of the fan chat about experience (and some of the rumoured club chat too tbf) was a case of looking at the wrong stuff to an extent. Experience isn't the main feature we need. What we actually all want is success. Now it can be argued that success is easier to achieve - or perhaps easier to anticipate - if you buy experience. But experience in and of itself isn't the main thing we should chase IMO. It should always be talent first.

 

Feel for Mendy in all of this mind, poor ****ers been dying to come here, sure he’ll get over it if he gets Saudi money hoyed at him though

 

loan or permanent? do you know?

 

It might not have been a case of Mendy or Simic. Maybe we’ve wanted Simic and Mendy all along but now the Mendy deal is dead we switched to Isidor?

 

Experience to me is just games played, these two have plenty of games played in men's football

 

Quality trumps age for me like

 

From watching that video he looks like a Ross Stewart re-gen
Running, passing and shooting looks like classic Loch Ness Drogba
