Fair enough mags as you said earlier I don't understand why fans have to make comparisons, if both teams have exceptional players makes for an exciting season.

I can go back to players like king Kenny, even Charlie Nicholas who scared the beejesus out of me.
Murder mcleod running on to a loose ball 30 yards out as well.
Bit like some celtic fans, not saying you got worried same thing happening with big albertz.

I get the vibe thats being set but Laudrup was graceful as fck - his speed over 5 yards with the ball under his spell was frightening and he had that shifting of his weight thing going on - like a fit speeded up Paddy McCourt
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From what I hear he is invariably speeded up these days.

Balon d’or - a poll arranged by a French magazine with predominantly French votes amongst the hand picked international judges with votes being ‘aggregated’ in secret by the French organising panel. And guess what, anyone French or plays or has played in France or has a connection to France typically does better and the players from countries with which France has a issue typically do worse than expected. Results are ofte head scratchers.

Messi winning it at psg last year a perfect example.

One winner from an English team since Best in 1968 another.

More French winners than Spanish, English, Brazilian, Italian another reference point.

Just saying..

He also came fifth in the Fifa World player of the year which is or was completely separate.

Seeing Laudrup doesn’t have a France connection as far as I know, then reflects even better!

There's your James Cann dead ☹️

Colak confirmed, hopefully he scores a bucketful. Straight replacement for Itten I guess.

Point of minor annoyance though - it really bugs me when the press describe players as "[country] international" when they're barely involved with their national team. Colak is 28 and has played 3 times for Croatia ffs.

Ideal to get him and early, will probably be as much of a Roofe replacement with him in the always injured boat

Yea not much of an international but only made his debut in 2020. Should give him a much bigger chance of getting in the squad being with us

I’ll be honest I’m not mega enthused by his career thus far but I did just watch a YouTube video that made him look class.

Strong, tall, decent finisher. Carter Vickers gonna need his platform boots on

posted on 7/7/22

I dont think we would,sign a 1 .8 million striker to be 3rd choice.

No idea alfies situation transfer wise or fitness, roofe usually Injured, think he will play more than we think lads.

posted on 7/7/22

Itten was the same price. Signed as 3rd choice and how well her performs will dictate the rest

Not seen one nhugg over this guy .

Can't be rated

We paid 3m for Itten and 4.5m for Roofe….

He’s clearly being brought in as competition and isn’t first choice.

He's morelos replacement for suresies

posted on 7/7/22

Yea we only got 1.6m for Itten, and spent 1.8m on Colak so that’s a whole £200k extra, must be a Morelos replacement
