Looks like their previous record sale was around £1m, according to Copilot.

The club play in a town in Sweden with a population of 1254 I can’t see them demanding silly money. It is a fairytale story that they won the league but the squad will probably be decimated now and looks like we’ve got the pick of the bunch (if it happens).

Their season will be done in a week too.

I wonder if there can be something done where he joins up with us early so he can get used to the training and adjust to a new club quicker.

I know he’s not allowed to be officially transferred until the window opens.

If his club has the funds from us secured I don’t see why they wouldn’t give him permission to train or at least move here and acclimatise.

Just watched his highlights reel. Given me the same tingles as when I saw Torp’s reel.

AI at its best? If not, maybe back to the drawing board?

I'd go as far as saying walk past the drawing board & don't touch it again

What did Torp do, I wonder? I remember him saying he hadn't played for a couple of months when he signed due to the mid season break. He'd never played at Christmas until he'd signed for us.

Our overseas recruitment has been very good imo. Bassette has clearly flopped, mainly due to his own attitude, but MvE, Sakamoto, Torp, Wright, Dovin. Its a pretty good hit rate.

Could be a very fun signing. Pace, trickery and can play multiple positions. Apparently somewhat of a greedy player though.

I was more referring to under the current recruitment team tbf as that's more relevant, but Hamer was a great pickup.

I’m old enough to remember when we shouldn’t sign any foreigners because of Hilßner, Jobello, and Kastaneer.

Even going back to the shite Championship days, when we've actually committed a small amount of money to an overseas signing we did ok. Thinking the likes of Safri, Gunnarsson, Mifsud. When we have entered he dreaded free transfer overseas market however.. the ones you mention are just the tip of the iceberg.

We signed some corkers in the 90s. Alex Evtushok being a highlight.

Wow. Evtushok. That was a waste of money. There were more though. Isaias, Calista, Moldovan, Genaux, Lamptey. There are more.

We loved our morrocans.

Would absolutely love to sign that Morrocan Louza as a younger Grimes replacement. But will likely cost over £10 million now.

Said agreed 4.5 million euros with Olympiacos, but the deal fell though due to the player contract.
We played hardball with Dovin over his wage demands.

Perhaps they don't want him injured before a transfer.

There was some shenanigans in that. Apparently Olympiacos tried to change his contract at the last minute and when it was rejected they claimed he failed his medical.

Manneh very good profile. Just turned 21 and tracked by a host of top teams. Good option a younger but very talented player.

Suspect it will cheaper than what OLPYM bid for him.

Only concern is how quickly would settle/be ready. We need players to hit ground running

I’ll always stand by Moldovan being a great signing - he just needed to play more!

We need someone we can chuck on for twenty mins when EMC or Saka is tiring or having a bad game. He doesn’t need to be the finished article just someone direct and tricky who can cause problems in a different way.

Hahaha, I will happily retire with the 100% ITK record if it's announced I'm afraid.

Unfortunately it's a source from outside the club!
