Runs with his head up, tricks, pace etc. Ndiaye 2.0. Wow, they would frighten defenses in the Prem. They would get fouled a lot and thus we will need a free kick specialist, not Norwood, to supply crosses or top corner darts. He is EXACTLEY, the type of player needed. Young and great upsale potential. Heart says we will have him signed by Friday, my fear says gone to Celtic.

Only natural finishers can score those

The question on this one is whether Hacken would sell midseason given the Allsvenskan is a summer league? Is their window even open (or does that only apply to the buying club)? If so, would they want to get the most playing value out of him and only sell once they're fairly sure of top 3?

Loan them Osula if we think this guy is more advanced.

He’s Danish and could do with regular gsmes.

I’m fine to keep him around but wouldn’t be with worst idea. Get him back in Jan.

Seems to be fitting the recruitment policy if the below is true

Revealed: Sheffield United set to adopt a major change of transfer strategy in this summer's transfer market

In a marked change of policy to recent seasons, when domestic based talent formed the core of their recruitment drives, Sheffield United have drafted plans to predominently focus on players based overseas during this summer’s transfer window.

[Weasel]

Probably a bit more risky but that's where the gems can be found as the domestic market is well trawled.

As it's the ever reliable James shield, I can confirm this was true....

In 2007.

Reporting we're after two unknown gems in Jostein Flo and Roger Nilsen

The exact sort of low risk high reward signing we need to be looking at making if the £3.5m rumours are to be believed

Shield? I take it the majority are UK based then

 

[Macfarlane21]

Is he really any different or better than Osula and Jebbison? Personally think we would be better trying to bring someone in who's a little older and played at a higher level

You don't get those for £3m.

His club are looking for £5 or £6m

Makes sense to offer the fiver first....

 

[ancientblade]

we should be doing everything we can to bring cameron archer in

 

[Pintor75]

Offer them £3.5m for Traore, matching their record sale, and £1m add on if we stay up

 

[biggiesablade]

I hope we get this kid. I'm not most knowledgeable fella but when I have a feeling its right occasionally.

 

[jt64]

You don't get those for £3m.

Indeed. For comparison, Wimbledon sold a 22 year old striker off the back of a 9 goal (15 in all comps) PL season for £7m. Nearly 25 years ago.

 

[Macfarlane21]

I know, my point is with Jebbo and Osula already on the books, is it worth spending 3-5 million on a young St with potential? Not forgetting we have Brewster too.

I think we might be better saving the money to splash elsewhere. Unless the takeover happens then let's get him in

Not very positive noises coming out about Brewster though....

A loan move for him would be a shrewd move.

A loan move for him would be a shrewd move.

Villa will keep him as a home grown player for Europe.

His twin was a better player, if I have the right bloke...
