John Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I would think that Matty would suggest that we make Tomasz Kedziora our first target and I would back that. If we can offer a temporary spot that would help players and their families, that want to leave Ukraine to leave, then I think we should (not purely for footballing reasons).

Philosopher Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 They got some good Brazilians at Shaktar Donesk. There are a few I'd look at there like Neres, Tete, Antonio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second I thought this was the Leon Bailey thread, but he’s not 30 is he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Promes still playing, seems to have been an eternal FM prospect for about 30 years! Quincy Promes is being proesecuted in Netherlands for stabbing somebody....maybe best to avoid Wilmer Barrios isnt that much taller than Luiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to keep improving and if that means selling players like Luiz, McGinn and Watkins for a profit, then so be it. We also need to understand that players like Traore and El Ghazi were good enough to keep us in the division, not to push for Europe. There is no set or right way to achieve success. We have to keep improving and unfortunately, that means being very active in the transfer market. I agree. The important thing is, that the players we buy make us better, the numbers are of secondary importance to that.....we must also ensure the age demographics are spread evenly, as a sensible mix. I think the owners have sufficient Nous, to know what the volumes of players should look like....I have trust in the way they go about their business. We do have to keep improving, but we must also avoid doing an Everton, where the buys have been iffy and its landed them in the brown stuff.

Having watched Kędziora on multiple occasions, I would suggest we should (for any reason, but not a footballing one because he isn't a premier league player). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Kedziora is apparently already back in Poland so it would probably be a football transfer at this stage. He probably needs a place to train if Poland will play that playoff against the FIFA Russian World Cup team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I'm sure he was tipped as future star around 2008-09 for Holland so genuinely have no idea how old he is other than he seems to have been around forever and one of those Dutch players from that era who's never really stepped up to major euro league as he didn't last long at Sevilla. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just turned 30, he has hardly done much for Netherlands either and has about 50 caps, like a Dutch Aiden McGeady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
