Confirmed Signing Jesper Lindstrom

[bluestevon]

We played that way at Burnley and it really worked, and honestly McNeil was very good at wing back.

Yup I'm looking at the personnel we have, who we are bringing in and as much the areas we are seemingly not seeming arsed about - nothing really of any substance about fullbacks - why? Maybe because we won't be using them.

Now can we break our habit of looking god awful in a back three every time we try it.

Obligatory YouTube vid watched. Get him in please.

Would we have sold Godfrey….maybe with his contract situation.

Well I think we may go for the swiss lad at Montpellier but interesting to see as we are obviously recruiting to a plan. Now what that plan is will be interesting

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

If he was "that good" he'd be going elsewhere.

Serviceable is our best bet.

@Terrarian Sad but true...on the plus side, Pienaar was serviceable and many others of his era; that's why they got where they did. It's all about the team. Leighton and Wayne were one of the few Grade A standouts.

Interesting mate….he can play right full…..

Think @Eggs flagged him as a possible wing back when we signed him mate.

Good to see you about!

How many loans are we allowed? Is it 2 or 4?

Two domestic I think mate - seems to be as many as you like abroad.

 

[DanB90]

2 from PL teams.

The number we’re allowed from abroad is often disputed on here and I can’t remember off the top of my head, so I’m going to say another 2, just to be on the safe side.

How many loans are we allowed? Is it 2 or 4?

2 domestic per window.

And possibly 6 in total.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

I thought it was called the El Ghazi. Maybe it’s a Dutch thing.

It could also be called the 'Josh King'. Or the 'Anthony Gardner' if you go back further.

It's odd you say that, as we don't really have a right back Dyche has settled on either.

That's mate, hope you're good!

The reality is, Napoli (who are like a peak version of what we could become) spent the best part of 30m on him, probably with half an eye on developing him and selling him for double.

You factor in the PL tax, it's honestly like someone here paying 40m for a 23 year old. He was highly rated, and honestly rated far beyond us to end up at Napoli.

The million dollar question is, is the season in Napoli an abbheration and a bad fit, or will he struggle at a tougher level.

The way the deals structured though, it gives us some downside protection.

As for who he reminds me of, it's Mirallas. Seems to move in the same way to me, quick over short distances etc. However Mirallas looks a better finisher, but from clips I've seen this lad is a better creator.

I've never seen the kid play except for his YT vid a few days ago and Mirallas is exactly what cane to mind (how he travels with the ball)
