Kasper Hogh.

Was apparently on his way to Norwich in January, until he scored twice vs Man City.

Has looked Excellent for Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League

JP Hauge for Bodo as well, he’s a brilliant player.

Patrick Berg as well, excellent midfielder

Rushworth would be a massive statement and make a huge difference to how we performed. Sort it, Doug!

The problem is likely to be wages. If you’re bringing in players on 100k+ a week, there’s going to be a massive divide in the dressing room, and that will be a team spirit problem.
I’d expect us to look for value in the lower reaches of Bundesliga/ligue 1/primera division, or champ players who *might* make the step up like Hughes, Azeez or Scienza.

There’s one other possibility to consider of course - Doug sells up. The club’s likely to be at peak value in the summer.

Will be interesting to see if Doug sells. A lot of people were convinced he had a 5 year plan and if that's the case this summer, if we go up, will certainly be the point to sell. Then it all depends who comes in, although just a luck that we'll be on the brink of WWIII and all the billionaires will be hiding in their bunkers!

If he stays don't see we have any option other than to break the wage structure. The players that have recently renewed will either be aware of potential PL wages of players coming in or have clauses in their new contracts with big pay rises. The fringe squad players will be happy to still have a job.

You can't build a Premier League squad based on not upsetting players who are unlikely to feature much, if at all.

Would be up for signing Peck and not playing him, just so we can give Sheffield United that unfunny 'Feeder Club' banter they forced when they signed Hamer and O'Hare

I think he may sell some of his share of ownership

Very injury prone

Probably more like signing Hamer, Jack Clarke, if Ipswich don't go up.
