I spend a fair bit of time in Brazil and let me tell you, we should be buying Brazilian players, everyone knows that they are the best, much better than Danish or English players! But for every Dunga, there's a David Luiz. Why Arsenal paid £24 million for his services over one year, I will never know - he seems to give away a goal every time I watch him! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) These last few pages made my morning coffee a lot more interesting. ☕ To be fair, the Danish Super League has become way better and more competitive in recent years. FC Midtjylland and Fc København would easily play for promotion in the Championship and might survive in the PL. AGF (BD's team) and Brøndby would for sure be top half teams in the champo, while Aalborg AaB, FC Nordsjælland and Odense OB would be solid midtable teams. The rest of the league (7 teams) would be lower half and the 2-3 poorest teams would struggle. I watch both leagues a LOT .. And a game between Midtjylland and Fc København has more quality than most games in the Champo .. so BD is not far off .. It has ofc been a running joke here @ the forum with BD and his Danish recommendations, like Anglian Red's stream and my shady links .. But hey, there is quality in the Danish league and we should explore and exploit it .. Brentford has done it and they are doing fine. We should be looking at other European leagues as well and not so much league 1 and 2 .. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Whether thats the leagues across Europe, league 1, league 2 or even non league (Lewis Wing). It doesn't matter where the players come from.. yes Brentford have used the Danish league successfully, but they have also used league 1 and league 2. There is no right and wrong answer! Also I wrote the word league so many times there that it started to look strange and spelled incorrectly.. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 895 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I was surprised Warnock didn’t seem to rate Maukoudi. Would have loved to have seen him back. I wonder if any of our targets are from abroad this year. Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,449 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Defenders should defend first otherwise you'd be comparing David Luis & Virgil van Dijk Link to post Share on other sites

There is a chain of hotels called the comfort in and the quality inn. Both are neither comfortable or offer quality. I don’t think the Danes are fooling us with all this super league nonsense.

Big guy, commanding presence at the back. Ball playing but so are Fry and Friend. Just surprised he wasn’t given a chance - Warnock spoke well of him after that strange selection as DM. Anyway, not to be but I liked him. Link to post Share on other sites

Also I wrote the word league so many times there that it started to look strange and spelled incorrectly.. Exactly this, I was about to comment saying the same thing. I do wish we'd explore foreign leagues more though, there is undoubtedly a lot of talent to be had. Plus, I always feel it's more exciting being linked to players outside of England. I could write a lot more on the flaws of our recruitment team. It all really ties into the board's lack of a coherent vision for the club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JMC91 280 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 He was probably never in our thinking but Kieran Dowell has just signed for Norwich from Everton for an undisclosed fee. I thought he would have been ideal to fill our creative void and he'll suit their style of play well. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
sambaDTR 260 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I reckon Warnock will try to get his “permanent” signings sorted first then any loans such as Makoudi, Gibson, Roberts will be later when the big clubs decide on their squads. Link to post Share on other sites

See I would have seen something like a Chris Gunter first; if that's going to happen you'd think it would happen relatively quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Norwich sign Midfielder Kieran Dowell from Everton permanently. Decent signing. Link to post Share on other sites
