The Unreliable Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 4)

I was sold on him watching the final of the Europe conference league getting the MOM.

Think the world cups complicating a lot.

It was something we did say. Dumfries is for sure and one is 16.

Van Hecke we really don’t have anything reliable in that name. And Liverpool are often tagged into boring transfer stories.

He is lovely to watch - my favorite type of player. The older I get the more I am able to convince myself that is how I looked when I played (it wasn’t)

Any chance that was the pigeon that John Aldridge had the fight with?

You must have been pretty decent then.

That’s definitely what I tell people these days

Yep.
Opened up the thread and was instantly transported to the ā€œWho would you buyā€ thread

Annoying isn’t it?

If only we had somewhere people could talk about players they would like us to sign and leave the rumour mill for actual fecking rumours…

Edit: I see Danes beat me to it whilst I was fannying around

Leeds and Liverpool are both interested in Midtjylland and South Korea central defender Lee Han-beom, 23, with Napoli , Monaco and Lyon among a number of other clubs keeping tabs on the player. (Teamtalk)

First World Cup rumour

Hope we’ll never fall for that World Cup trap again.

If we scouted him before the world cup (as is reported) and are just using it as confirmation… it is an entirely different story.

Doesn’t sound expensive and we could use a CB.

Not saying it is impossible but even among Danish league defenders he’s only average in aerial duels won, below average in progressive passes and can’t carry the ball.

Have you seen the obligatory 10 games? :see_no_evil_monkey:

I haven’t even seen all the Danish clubs combined play 10 times!

I think probably the only time we’ve ever really done that was Berger after Euro 96.

Diouff is the one commonly held us as an example of the pitfalls from doing it, but we announced the signing the day after their opening game win against France. We’d been desperate to wrap it up before the tournament started concerned that if we didnt a good performance from him at the tournament would see an increase in competition for him.

It’s like I don’t even know who you are any more…

If we scouted him before the World Cup and liked what we saw then we probably should have signed him before the price goes up after the tournament.

Wanted to say Mamardashvili but that we the EUROs.

I rate the Austrian CH higher than Jacket but both can be our future spine along with Leoni.

When did we sign Diao? Was that before or after the World Cup?

What do you use to check? Fotmob stats put his aerial duel success rate at 67.1%. Is there a better source?

More interestingly, looks good among CBs at crosses, touches in the opponents box, chances created and balls won in the final 3rd…:neutral_face:

If we are ā€œactuallyā€ interested, don’t know what the plan is.
