    I wasn’t expecting much to happen for a while as Still’s on holiday
    Good that we’re starting early

    “Hoffenheim’s Quarshie spent last season on loan at Greuther Furth and clocked in the fastest sprint speed in 2. Bundesliga, at 37.04km/h - faster than Kamaladen Sulemana’s record speed at the 2022 World Cup”

    Hopefully he employs his pace to greater effect than KS

    This guy is seriously rapid. Given he's well over 6ft tall that's impressive.

    Ok as a development option, he was part of one of the worst defences in 2. Bundesliga last season though so hoping he isn't the only work we do on the defence.

    Think this is a sign of what Spors said about turning us into a more physical, quicker, more energetic team.

    Alfie House saying he's being told that Quarshie will be part of the first team squad from day one, so we'll get a look at him in preseason before seeing if he's part of the fold or he goes elsewhere. Germany U21 int'l and part of their Euros squad though so must have something

    Took me too long to make the connection but our new chief scout Tim Lederer has just joined us from Hoffenheim as well, so a quick one from him

    Finally that pacey CB we’ve been hoping for for the past 15 years!

    Just like Fernandes is part of the least potent and creative Premier League side...

    Can’t believe he’s been dead 7 years already, where’s the time gone.

    I know, somehow he feels part of our history even though he never actually came here.

    Would prefer a slightly more experienced player and it’s another investment purchase from SR, but if it’s Edwards, Wood & Quarshie as our centre back options next season then not sure it’s a title challenging defense,

    Hopefully, he also knows how to tackle, head the ball and has good positional sense.
