One To Watch

[Yogi]

Not one for this season or even next but in a couple of years I think he’ll be a top loan target for Championship clubs there’s a 16 year old winger who’s getting his chance for Chelsea’s U21’s called McQueen and he’s got it all pace, power and an eye for goal if he carries on it won’t be long until he’s in and around their first team.

Is his nickname lightning?

I nearly did it myself but held back . To be fair if he’s any good the branding for him writes itself.

Anybody seen Sam Nombe play?
Getting lots of praise off the Rotherham fans and maybe one who's got some improvement in him to step up a division in a Kone like way

Feel free to post any players who have caught your eye who you think the Blades could have a potential chance of signing, but make them at least moderately realistic please.

I'm going to set the ball rolling with Rocco Vata.

18 years old from Celtic. He's a right winger but can also play up top as a second striker. He's currently playing for their B team. He's a Republic of Ireland under-21 international and has already been in fine goal scoring form at that level. He recently played with Sam Curtis in the latest under-21 match where he bagged a hat trick.

He's only 5'9 but has pace in abundance and a healthy knack for scoring.

Celtic have previously turned down bids for him and he's out of contract in the summer, but so far he hasn't put pen to paper on the new deal offered.

Whilst Celtic B is a low level, his ability to score at under-21 international level suggests he could play at Championship level. Could the Curtis connection help?

Vata came on as a sub for Watford and was decent enough to get his own thread on here.

I'll delve into my Allsvenskan knowledge and pick out:

Noel Tornqvist - Mjallby (on loan from Como)
23 year old keeper
Just won the league with Mjallby. Bought by Como and loaned back. Como have 6 keepers on their books with 2 out on loan so heaven knows who stays and who goes for them. Just broke into the Swedish squad upon the retirement of our mate Robin Olsen and has ousted Zetterstrom from Derby from the squad.

August Priske - Djurgarden
21 year old Danish U21 striker
Scored 15 goals in 24 appearances this season. 6 foot 2 which always helps too. Had something of a breakout season amid a few departures and retirements so has stepped into the breach and produced when they've needed him to. Was in PSV's under 18s and scored a hatful of goals at that level and is now starting to produce at senior level.

Markus Karlsson - Hammarby
21 year old Swedish U21
Covers centre mid, right back, centre back.
Essentially Alex Matos but has played more games, scored more goals and is a bit taller and a bit more versatile. Played every game so far this season bar one for a team who'll play in the Conference League next season, barring a disaster.

Marcus Rafferty - Degerfors
21 year old Swedish U21 left midfielder
Scored 6 goals in 21 games this season for a newly promoted side clinging on to avoid relegation. Scored some spectacular goals and is a stand out player in an otherwise poor side.

Used to love signing Scandinavian players of Championship manager.
