CONFIRMED Bénie Traoré

[Rodley]

Best highlights package since Michael Higdon

 

[Blade56]

I think it's fair to say that, even if we have more money than rumour suggests, we're not going to buying forward players of established PL quality. It's a pipedream to expect anything like that and frankly, for me, I'm much more intrigued to see what diamonds in the rough we can find and develop as opposed to bringing in bigger names for bigger fees on bigger wages.

With promotion to the PL, we've lost one of the best things about being a football fan - the hunt for promotion. This season, I'm looking for more things to be interested in than spending big to grab a chance of survival.

Good post RJ

Whomever signs a long term deal will go out on loan presumably

Actually, watching that again he's clearly more of a direct Ndiaye replacement so I assume Ndiaye will be going.

 

[Torrix1889]

Hi Stegosaurus here,

If he joins us, I envision he will either be a good signing and net us 10 goals plus this season. Or he will flop and score zero. Saying that, he could be a middling player a bit like McBurnie--not an outstanding hit but not a massive waste of space either.

Insightful

Said the same last week...

He's pretty much the same player, imo, attacking-wise at least.

Agree mate, if he is Ndaiye replacement let's hope he has the same defensive workmate as well.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Let’s hope he has a year to learn from Ndiaye!
As ever UTB!

BBC gossip says Man Utd are after a young Danish lad (also 20 years old) from Atalanta called Rasmus Hojland for £35m, where he's scored 9 in 32.

Last summer Atalanta bought him from Sturm Graz for £17m where he had scored 9 in 18.

The season before Sturm Graz bought him for £1.7m after he scored none in 19 matches.

My point is, if we were buying someone for £1.7m who never scored a goal our fans would be losing their shit. I'd also argue the Austrian League is shite. However if you've got it then that often is the case at any level. I think this lad has got it personally and if we get him i reckon we could sell for a big profit.

Exactly the type I want us to be buying along with that Anis Slimane.

Suppose I just like the excitement of the unknown, and Henry is 100% a stretch!!
Those highlights (I know, I know, they are youtube highlights) are just so impresse for a young man. Above all else its the bravery on the ball that gets me so confident in him being a success.
But, I'm wrong A LOT about our transfers. I just get swept up in the hype and excitement, so don't listen to me

I can’t knock the positivity. I hope you’re more right than me

 

[mattbianco1]

Yeh. I just ‘worry’ that we have a tight budget and 5m on potential when the standard in sweden is poor is a risky move. He has some exciting attributes though.

If we are spending £5m on this guy, the budget is clearly more than £20m

 

[Blade56]

I’m beginning to feel we are moving into sex wee territory with signings. If we start signing these young hopefuls I’d interpret that as we are nowhere near completing a takeover this year.

El Accounto reckons pushing £70 million, but that's all in with wages

 

[Bladeloyal]

Some say the Swedish league is average ,some say borham wood are semi professional ,it's not where a player starts it's where he gets to .

Aye
Stegosaurus + “waste of space” in the same post.


That must be a 1st ?!?

 

[Rodley]

Could be Zivkovic, could be Ndlovu. Let’s wait and see if he signs.

Can’t see both of them in the same starting lineup. Too similar

 

[Bladeloyal]

Two illis would be frightening for any defence

 

[SUFC Guy]

Can’t see both of them in the same starting lineup. Too similar

But would cause absolute havoc for defenses with their pace and trickery. Would expect a minimum of 3 defenders marking them and perhaps even four. They wouldn't want too many 1:1 scenarios when we counter attack.

Could give us more creativeness with technical attacking midfield players rather than 2 strikers

CB - CB - CB
RWB - DCM - LWB
TRAORE - BERGE - NDIAYE
McBURNIE​

Norwood DCM?

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

With his pace, strength and trickery he has the potential to cause havoc in many a defence. He could draw defenders out of position, win free kicks, create space and chances for team mates. Plenty for coaches to work on at such a young age. Don`t see many like him for £5 million.

I made myself have a sex wee once - it went all over my aunty Christine’s pinafore

Are we in for those two as well? Budget must be tight!

This is where I think we will be an upgrade on Wilders team! We may go back down! Excitment along the way and who knows ! we may surprise ourselves as well as the premiership.
Definitely an upgrade in technical ability ! Need to get the balance right though and who knows !

I once came home from School and my dad asked what sort of day I’d had. I told him I’d had sex with my gym teacher, he grinned all proud looking and said come here, sit on my knee and tell me all about it. I said I can’t me bums still sore!
