CONFIRMED Nils Zätterström signs - 4 year contract

[MayorOJC]

When will he be available to play? Because we need to see Zatterstom early, warrants a chance because we cannot reasonably persist with someone else’s young defender in Bindon, unless we know for sure that Zatterstom is simply not ready this season.

Bindon is at a much higher level than Nils at the moment

U21s at the lane on Friday night....

Peter Shilton did that also, used to hang off the bannister with weights around his ankles to stretch himself out in the hope of making himself bigger.

I might be mixing up my shortarses, but I think this was the story I heard about Keegan aswell.

Do you have any thoughts on Filip Beckman? Seems to be on his way to WBA.
A quick look at his stats, looks more promising than NZ that we've signed... but I've never seen either to properly comment.

I've seen him a bit. Good player. But I think Axel Norén is better.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Is he available yet?

Fuck knows what Maradona did then

Did a handstand with weights on his ankles

Pleased to hear Wilder say yesterday that he would have signed him. That suggests that the system for identifying young overseas players is already delivering some value.

He's not going to say 'nah, if I was manager back then he wouldn't be on my list'

Over the last few years, we've managed find Anel, Souza and Berge and all have gone to a better level than we're currently at.

Caveat to that is that they were somewhat known with Anel being at Forest for a while, Souza's connection to City Football Group and Berge being on a few radars rather than the bingo machine that plucked out the likes of Chucky, Jeff, Polendakov, Ukaki and failed experiments like Grbic, Traore, Slimane, Verrips, Coulibaly, Zivkovic, Larouci and Retsos who can all go in the no pile.

Of all the other random foreign players we've brought in, I actually didn't mind Filip Uremovic for the few games we had him. No more basic of a player than Jack Robinson was who ended up playing 150 odd games.

Soumare's looked ok on times I've seen him but based on current form, he'll be going back at the end of the season anyway.

He specifically named him and spoke positively about him.

Considering Retsos is now captain of a team in the Champions League and has 17 appearances first Greece I think he's gone on to better things. Wasn't really given a chance here.

Didn't really get chance considering we had much better players than him, and it was the start of Covid when footy was delayed about a month after he arrived.

 

[Tarqs]

Also the 'failed experiment' that is traore will end up at a better club aswell.

Another barely given a chance and didnt look anywhere near as bad as made out.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Germanic or Scandi is close enough means he’s not that forrrun

Now Djibril on the other hand…

 

[Guesty]

Didn't really get chance considering we had much better players than him, and it was the start of Covid when footy was delayed about a month after he arrived.

Also it's only since 2023 that he's made any significant appearances anywhere.

 

[bonobo]

Retsos was just not fit. He was injured for almost entire spell with us. That's the reason it did not work out.

 

[The Crab]

Fuck knows what Maradona did then

Coke mainly…
