Finnegan Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August So, guesses for Fulham (assuming Spurs too soon) something like Mads Ricardo, Faes, Okoli, JJ Ndidi, Winks Fatawu, BDCR*, Hlozek Ioannidis *absolutely wouldn't be my choice. Would much rather Hlozek sat behind Ioannidis and Mavididi on the right but Cooper seems to have a hard on for Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 12 August Share Posted 12 August (edited) 7 minutes ago, Stevosevic said: Am I missing something? 2 goals for the bundesliga champions last season. Someone please tell explain the excitement You're not missing something, and I think those of us on the forum need to understand this. The excitement would be that this is a player with huge potential and a high ceiling. I believe he was considered the best ever palyer to come through the Sparta Prague academy and was expected to become a top talent at a big European club, hence the big move to Leverkusen. In one season he had 15 goals from 19 appearances. However, he did not live up to the billing and lacked confidence. Anyone expecting this guy to come in and hit the ground running is in for a shock. However, if you look at him as a young talent with high potential that we could develop, he absolutely fits that mould. That's why we are signing him, if he doesn't hit the heights this season, I think it's likely he does after a few seasons.

I'd say it's reasonably fair to compare his career trajectory more to someone like Youri Tielemans than - yknow - Oliver Skipp or something though. He clearly has a lot of talent but he came through at a VERY young age in a pub team for a club that are very strong in his own country. Then all of a sudden he's at a big club in Europe in a much bigger league with a lot of hype and expectation and has found it hard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Glover clearly just gets his targets from the ‘Who do you want for next season in the PL’ thread. I mean it's not like football scouting is rocket science is it. Makes me laugh sometimes how people hold some chief scouts/head of recruitments in such high regard. Just some blokes who love watching football and are reasonably into data.

Hopefully don’t end like Tete or we are ****ed I said last Thursday that I wouldn’t be surprised if Zaha gets linked, a day later, boom! Ioannidis been recommended numerous times...boom!
