The deal is agreed, and after summer the player doesn't want to fuck around. It's not 100% signed and sealed but would take something substantial for it to change now.
Exactly, give the guy a break he's been sat on the bench watching then is suddenly dropped in the middle of a totally new backline.
He'll be fine but does need regular minutes to build form. I'd say we need to be braver if we are pumping teams. Hook a few starters and give the backup chance to get a feeling for the team.
Can we just cherry pick Mjällby?! Elliot Stroud looks a great little player (not only because he is named after my home town either)
It’s a worry that it’s in the public domain and we can’t sign him until 1st January.
We know how this ends. Nottingham Forest snap him up from under our nose and send him out on loan to Olympiakos.
Kind of my point.
Not sure this window is time for projects, given budget and timing. Let’s see.
Lads he's been playing for a team that has just won the Swedish league, while not the finished article this isn't a Rapha level project.
No real concern with that considering the premier league interest (Brighton) have been rumoured to have.
Excited by this one just watching clips and seemingly slots very easily into Lampards style as a direct right footed left winger
Some good potential but looks very raw. Got all the physical attributes but his touch looks slightly baggy there and his ball striking not amazing.
Would be interesting to see him in this league.

This sounds like an agent going to work to me, leaked from outside the club two months before the window opens, not signed and sealed, interest from other clubs, I'm not getting excited yet.
yeh just takes searching the name of the player and there are tonnes of similar posts relating to other clubs.
no excitement till he’s on the website for me
Given the player has also been linked by a poster who was they have a source there maybe something in it.
In loads of the clips in his YouTube highlights reel, almost every first touch ends up a metre outside of his body!
Yeah this is where a lot of people get tunnel vision with the transfers. Loads of deals are agreed outside of transfer windows but obviously as you say they can't be registered until said window officially starts.
From memory I'm sure we agreed a deal for Rudoni for instance months before the summer 2024 window.
Yes exactly. He wouldn't get away with that in this league
Could we be getting Stamenic’d with this guy? Similar vibes
The ghost of transfer window future needs to show him an underwhelming move to Swansea City in a couple of years.
You would think so. Funny Olympiakos are also involved in this saga, seems they almost had Manneh but decided to fuck about with the contract.
