Sheaf, the player with most successful tackles in the championship, not a defensive wizard. Also sits highly for interceptions too but ok.
Avis: Coventry køber dansker for 19 millioner
Championship-klubben Coventry er tæt på at hente dansk forstærkning.www.tipsbladet.dk
Championship club Coventry is close to signing Danish reinforcements.
The Danish midfielder Victor Torp has had a great season in Sarpsborg 08, and he is now turning that season into a great change.
According to B.T. Sport is the 24-year-old Dane on his way from Sarpsborg to Coventry City in a deal for well over 2.5 million euros, equivalent to 19 million kroner.
Victor Torp emerged as a great talent at FC Midtjylland, but never made a breakthrough with the "wolves". Instead, he enjoyed success as a loanee at FC Fredericia and Lyngby Boldklub before going abroad.
In 2022, he was sold from FC Midtjylland to Sarpsborg, where he has been a big profile in the Norwegian league. Last season he scored seven goals and set up five in 33 games.
Now Victor Torp, 24 years old, has to try his hand at the Championship, where Coventry City is currently in a nice eighth place and fighting to get into the playoff game for promotion to the Premier League.
If a player from them who can’t break in their team costs €2.5m there’s no chance we are buying Brekalo from them for €4m who’s one of their best players

1. Players can improve with a move
2. Brekalo plays for Viking

Can we stop with this David brekalo constant obsession
they play for different teams skippy and Torp is a regular for the team he plays for
People being underwhelmed about Torp not being marquee yet want Brekalo who we knew just as fuck all about.
he must be going to Real Madrid seems as he's so brilliant
You are relentlessly wrong. Keep it up, it’s enjoyable
If it comes off it will be another young player on i imagine to be a long term contract that can be given time to bed in. Another piece of the jigsaw and another step up with the club following the model of bringing in young potential players in, with hope of having every aspect of the process to turn into a positive.
Gone are the days where we scatter gun and hope something sticks or a loan can turn into a perm. Could again be a smart investment, lets see if it comes off and only time will tell if its a good investment.

Can we finally bring back the Craig Pead chant with this one?

"We've got a big Dane in our side and he goes by the name of Victor Torp"
At least we can sing along to this tune again

Victor Torp plays the role of a wandering playmaker, his technique and creativity level is at a very high level, and he can easily carry the ball to the 3rd Zone. Compared to number 8, he is successful in air balls and is also quite sufficient for matches requiring high press.
Some posters are unable to move past players we get vaguely linked with for years so I think the Brekalo thing will stick around for a while.

Young midfielder Victor Torp, who plays for Sarpsborg 08, was recommended to Rizespor.
As in previous transfers, manager Uğur Avadan plays a role in this transfer.

Just annoyed that Torp probably puts Dani Pereira to bed tbh.

All I fucking read and hardly anyone knows anything about him and he’s going to the mls so who cares
"It’s a tough league and January is a tough window to find value in" ...is the key sentence, along with one by one by mmttww up thread that we are building for the long term, not just in a mad rush for the play offs (which will be even tougher and more of a lottery than ever this year).
Thus far King's team have a success rate on purchasing that is well above par. The jury is out on Simms & Collins and Da Silva has been rendered less useful by the switch in formation, but Wright, Sakamoto, Kitching, Thomas, Lati, MVE (and the loanee Binks) all look good to me. Only one dud, Ayari. So that is seven good acquisitions, three that could yet be good and only one dud, and he's a loan so can be dispensed with
Some on here ought to be a bit more forgiving of the King management team
Sign Torp for £2 million and then offer a swap deal with Burnley for Scott Twine?
Twine is another player this forum is obsessed with!

Torp speaking:
"I want to improve here as a player and as a person. I especially look up to Iniesta and Pirlo."

I've never heard of Torp but from the one YouTube video I've watched, I'm certain he is the next Eriksen!
I'm still coming to terms with million pound signings becoming standard. What a turn around this club has had, from the depths of L2.
Nothing but faith in MR and the scouting team, if we get him. I'm sure he'll be a welcomed addition.

Haji Wright was our massive marquee signing…

Tbh I can’t see why we can’t spend like £5-£8 mil on a quality player. It’s exactly what we need, we’ve got some depth, we just need consistent quality every week. Although I do get that there’s not that many options out there during the Jan window so it’d probably be tricky anyway.
Just to say, I’m not against this guy, I just wanted to see King go big that’s allI think any signings with some sort of potential are better than no signings at all, the more the merrier.
What if you could sign a quality player for €2.5m?
Your valuation is quite arbitrary because clubs identify players they want based on ‘x, y and z’ criteria and then negotiate a price. It’s shrewd business to find quality players that come under budget.
Taking a longer term approach to recruitment, our main targets might not be available at a price we want to pay this window. If want to get promoted and stay in the Premier League, there will be more changes to come.
As exciting as it is to ‘go big’, I’d rather not be in a situation where we go for bust and actually go bust. We’ve come too far to start over again!
Assuming this happens, add cover for Sakamoto and Wright (happy if it's one player) and with Binks an option in the summer based on the chat this week, that's a good window. Only pisser would be if O'Hare does a Hamer and leaves last minute without a chance to replace him. Palmer cushions the blow but ideally, you want a body even to replace him, even if it's a loan.
This post reminded me of the guy on here who thought that Wikipedia has special access to the FA’s player registration system and that Wikipedia pages would only update when a player was registered at a club on the FA’s backend server. One of my all time favourite SBT posts.
