BearSmog 1,382 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I know there's a few on here who have wanted us to sign Troy Parrot from Spurs on loan.. looks like he may be on his way to Millwall. Link to post Share on other sites

He really is a quality youngster with the world at his feet. If his attitude is right he will go all the way Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,063 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sounds like Mr Braithwaite is going to be on the market again soon.....seems to find it difficult to remain anywhere for very long Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,035 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Brighton have signed Veltman from Ajax for £900k, how've they done that Link to post Share on other sites

If possible I would be asking them about Shane Duffy. They got lots of centre backs now who are ahead of Duffy - Veltman, Dunk, £20m man Webster, Burn and the returning and very highly rated Ben White. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,063 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Probably something to do with his ACL injury....small fee up front with add ons if he stays fit and makes the grade....probably worth a punt at that price Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,939 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Duffy would be the perfect warnock centre back - unreal in the air and a guts and glory type defender - an upgrade on ayala imo. Not good with the ball at his feet though, but I'm not going to get into that again in fear of being accused of writing him off! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) We're priced out of Rob Dickie never mind Shane Duffy, think it'll be Goode, Gibbo and a free agent LB defender wise Tell you who we should put money into, Tosin Aiyegun from Zurich Edited July 29, 2020 by LewisBoroPalfrey Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the smaller teams might be around league 1 but the top 6 is easily championship standard and Copenhagen and Midtjylland would be top6 candidates. The championship is hardly a place blessed with quality throughout. Do you even know Bolat and Mak from first hand recent knowledge? I’m only suggesting players that I’m actually watching every week and not picking them off a list on transfermarkt. I have watched them a good few times - not weekly, granted, but not all of us get out knowledge from Transfermarkt or Football Manager. Some of us enjoy watching the European leagues and seeing what talents (or lack of) there are there. And I'm sorry, BD, but you're sounding as deluded as an SPL fan with your first comment. I respect you as a poster on here, but the Danish league is poor. Even going by the UEFA Coefficients you're very marginally better than the Scottish Leagues, and we all know how players & managers fair when moving from those leagues. The Danish leagues - especially in terms of defensive performances - are poor. Difference of opinion - especially when backed up by sound statistical data - isn't ignorance. You have Kobenbavn and Midtyland. They'd maybe do a job in the Championship - much like Celtic and Rangers. Outside that the quality dwindles enormously, and rapidly. Brøndby are barely above TNS in the UEFA Coefficients for God's sake, and TNS would struggle at any level of English football. You say I'm being ignorant. I say you're seeing the Danish league through rose tinted specs. It's poor. And the data proves that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That may be the case but Brondy are definitely a few levels above TNS in terms of quality. They consistently sell players to the top 5 leagues in every year, surely that alone is a mark of quality. Pukki who has scored 40 goals (11 in the PL) in 79 league games for Norwich was at Brondby as recently as 2018. Norgaard at Brentford played a Bronby as recently as 2018 too.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 BoroDane and Snowblind, you are both idiots. 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! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean we are a club that pays Neil Maddisons travel and expenses to go to Haag to watch Sam Stubbs play if we built a network of trained scouts simply by utilising fans who live in other countries it would be much better and more efficient but like our digital operation and media team we just don't invest enough in ourselves. Lad i used to work with worked as a scout for, Swindon, Oxford and West Ham over the years at kids level, so what's the difficulty in applying the same principle abroad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
