Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Quick Player Profile: Matej Sin (AM)
- 5'11
- 20 years old
- Recently capped for Czechia
- 21 games 7 goals 4 assists for Banik Ostrava

Having started almost every game for the last 2 seasons now the 20 year old has clearly made an impression on the national team coaches to make his debut at such a young age. Playing as a 10 or on the right wing he has bags of pace and I feel he would slot in nicely in Le Bris' system for a few reasons:

- In possession he can drop in to receive the ball but likes to make attacking runs and slot in next to the striker almost identical to how we ask Rigg to play.
- He is adapt at playing one touch passes in and around the box under pressure which is something I feel has been missing from out attack with seemingly no sense of urgency once we get around the opponents area.
- Has a fantastic eye for a pass and should have 4/5 more assists but the quality of finishing is pretty poor in the side.
- Would hopefully add both creativity and goals to our midfield which is a clear gap for the squad.
- His pace would add an extra dimension to our attacks and open up more space for Isidor/Mayenda who currently have no penetrating runs from either Rigg or Jobe to disrupt the oppositions defensive shape.
- Most importantly for me, he doesn't dawdle in possession and take 4 touches when he only needs 1, everything is done with purpose and he executes high difficulty passes with high frequency.
- With how progressive he plays its fantastic to see he ranks 10th in the world for u21 attackers in progressive pass accuracy with 87% success rate - comparable to PSG's Desire Doue and Monaco's Ben Seghir.

Of course the standard of league is probably lower than what we currently play at, but as discussed early today in this thread we will probably need to look abroad if we want to be able to find affordable players with the required level of ability to kick us on. I would like to caveat this by saying that i feel having a core of English/UK players is pretty important as we want the midfield to be a cohesive unit and communication is massive. Not necessarily the best option out there but wanted to highlight one of several players that we could potentially look at to more suit the system Le Bris clearly favours but has had no option to play.

 

Think there’ll be plenty of championship interest in him this summer

 

Think he could be very much like Rudoni actually, to crossover with the other thread

 

we need a target man, an ariel presence. I dont think Roberts has done particularly well, however there is very little movement in the box for him to aim at. Its the same for Patterson, its ok saying his distribution is crap, but he has no one to aim at, have a look at the stats from the game at the weekend and how many times QPR just headed it clear. So for me potentially a right winger and a target man, anything else depends on who leaves

 

Not sure what cardiffs finances are like but imagine there’ll be a lot of suiters for perry ng and salech atleast

 

Southampton after Patto according to our mate Nixon

 

Not like him to stir the **** before an important game

 

I genuinely wouldn't care if patto left. Average.

 

Matty Young looking good

 

Quality keeper and maturing very quickly.

 

Ready to play champ yet you think? I think we’ll sign a new keeper who’s good with the ball at his feet next year

 

Maybe a touch early but that said, might be worth the roll of the dice. I really don't rate patto, incredibly average IMO so I would be tempted.

 

Always pre season to get a good look at Matty I guess

 

I’ll ask my mate who works at the training ground

 

Cheers mate, tell him to give us Ronnie Edwards and they can have him

 

He could try between the goal posts and under the bar for a start, just joking seriously I think he and Cirkin for another are still way over rated by many.
But alternatives are thin on the ground and Reg like Denis are not ones for turning quickly enough for me.. .

 

Think i’d give him the chance if patterson goes

 

Do like the look of Salech. What are people's thoughts on Ruell Walters?

 

Can’t say I noticed him up here but that has been the only time I’ve seen him in fairness, some good individuals at Luton worth looking at though

Chong
Doughty
Mengi

 

He was highly rated at Arsenal, and would provide good cover for Hume. Good age for development too.
