A 20 yr old Serbian CF. 6ft tall, with a lovely right foot. Currently at Atalanta, having come to them from Partizan Belgrade as a youth.

He currently plays for their reserve side/u23 side in Serie C. He's scored 16 in 19 for them, and is on a different level. A proper different level. He was in the match day squad for Atalanta's champions league game v. Sturm Graz last week, but didn't get on. He's flirting around the 1st team for Copa Italia and low level Serie A games, but there's players in front of him and he's log-jammed. Plus they are sniffing around Dominic Calvert-Lewin this window. He has also played a couple of times for the Serbian u21's.

I seriously doubt that he'd be available to buy, but he needs to be tested at a higher level. He's worth having a look at in the championship, and he's the kind of player that could step up to the premier league, like Delap.

He's worth a loan for the rest of this season, and I think that Atalanta would see it as beneficial for him as part of his growth. If we were to loan out Brewster & One, he'd be a bit of a low risk 'wild card' player, whom I think would tear up the championship and secondly it would hopefully start a relationship with Atalanta who have one of, if not the best youth set ups in Italy (certainly pounds for pound). It would be to our ongoing advantage to strike up a relationship, either with an exchange of ideas or players.
 

No more forwards, it irks me slightly we spent so much on Cannon.

Key priority when Souttar got injured was replacing Souttar.

Vlahovic would be a low risk, hail mary loan signing, but one with a hell of a lot of upside should it work out, and it could lead to a loan next season in the premier league. We as a club need to box clever in the transfer market and utilise any potential benefit.

I'm not 100% convinced that Cannon for the money is the right choice. I'm not 100% convinced by him as a championship player, let alone a premier league one. For a team that is 2nd in the league, we've kind of hedged our bets, with half a view to next season being in the championship.

I see Moore as an expensive mistake that we need to extricate ourselves from asap. Alarms bells should've rung when Bournemouth deemed him surplus to requirements in 2024 (as a recently promoted team), and Ipswich didn't see the benefit in taking him as a relatively low risk gamble for this season. By the time next season starts, he'll be 33, slower, older and not what we need in either the championship or premier league.

In fairness all of the teams signed Moore to be a good Championship player.

Including us.

Let's remember he's not been fully fit recently and overall he's been a warrior for us as we unexpectedly inserted ourselves into the automatic race

He's not what we need. It's not even midnight, and he's already yesterday's man. We bought him to be the main guy, but I don't even see him as a plus one. 🤷‍♂️
