One plus that FL has over premier league managers. if we are promoted, is a knowledge of the championship. Players like Hughes and James are just names to most manager but FL knows them, and their potential, first hand.

I think it's a tad naive to think that PL managers (PL clubs) are unaware of top Championship players.

Sign Fatawu for 50p to warm the bench and piss the administration boys off

Kodai Sano & Promise David - probably struggle to get them though
Bit random but I saw this guy play at left back when I was in Germany and I thought he looked really good - Hennes Behrens

They sound more like racehorses to me. I’d have £5 each way on Promise David

Would like to see us going for Franculino Dju. Top scorer in Denmark despite a 4-month injury. 19 G/A in 17 games. West Ham had a £13m rejected in the summer.

Don't see us steering hard away from the strategy under King and Austin to date. Taking risks on players that haven't played much football and / or have sketchy injury records hasn't been our speed.

Expecting more expensive, more proven versions of the Euro signings i.e. Haji, MVE, Sakamoto, Torp mixed with less obvious low cost / freebies from the Prem like Dasilva and Lati were from this league.

Basically, need people who watch loads of Euro football or know how to use data scout websites to post random suggestions for me to get excited about - think Transfermarkt valuations of €10-20m.

Eric Martel vibes. Thanks in advance!

Edit: looked through a list of potential Prem free agents and I could only see see two or three that would make any sense and all of them were at Brentford! e.g. Janelt, Henry, Jensen. Nevermind.

Just looking at the 23/24 signings and Collins (GK) an Sakamoto (started older than normal) were our oldest signings at 26. The “big” signings we made: MvE, Thomas, Simms all 22, Kitching Lats 23, Torp and EMC 24 and Dasilva and Wright 25. Completely rejected the old head thing until we brought Grimes in really. I wonder if we go for similar profile.

Would like to see us going for Franculino Dju...

Pls post more things like this so I can get overhyped.

Edit: we'd have a lot of competition for him, I expect.

All aboard the Franculino express.

Sounds like we really missed the boat on this one

I don't know if we missed the boat, more we simply couldn't compete with Strasbourg at the time. Makes a mockery of some that were unimpressed with this potential signing though, shame it didn't come off.

Well it looked like we were getting him for a very reasonable amount and then out of nowhere they came in with a huge bid.
