Latest one linked. Know anything about him?
From Malmo?
Can't see Tan going for that!
Swedish apparently.
I think the Swedish league is better than league one or the SPL, we don't seem to have too many qualms about buying from those
15 full caps for Sweden but not included in the Sweden squad currently in Russia
A quick bit of googling suggests he's a defensive midfielder, with a good football brain.
Was at Bayern as a kid.
Was in the team of the tournament of the u21s euros a couple of years ago, and was tipped for big things, but hasn't progressed as expected.
Has been linked with MLS sides, macaabi Tel Aviv and West ham, and now us.
The first mention of any link with us seems to be the other forum.
It cropped up on twitter, from a guy with 300ish followers and describes himself as a "Malmo FF fan". I think it is probably cobblers but who knows!Quote:

We havent bought anyone from those leagues since we Premier League club, and even when we did as a Championship club we didnt pay 7mQuote:

15 caps for Sweden would suggest he's better than some of OGS signingsQuote:

Yeah, the signings of Cornelius, Eikrem, Berget and Daehli were fantastic signings. They were all internationals too.Quote:

They weren't bad players, but OGS just didn't have a clueQuote:

The other fella Daehli, well, he would not get into Bridgend Street's side. To lightweight and done sod all, here's his record at age 23

These were not and are not good enough players for the EFL, at any level.
Cornelius is playing in serie A, and played in the last 16 of the world cupQuote:

Eikrem has played in the top leagues in Holland, Sweden and now the usa, all of which are a decent standard.
But on the basis of a tiny number of games they played in a side that was completely non-functional you have deemed them to be not good enough for football in England at any level?
I never even mentioned the "DONKEY" and we all seen how he coped in the World Cup.Quote:

He should be in the squad if we're looking to buy him. If he'd genuinely cost £7m, I'd rather spend an extra £1.8m and get Arslan who's playing in a much better league for a much bigger club. I wouldn't be surprised if we're waiting on Arter/Gosling however.Quote:

All 4 were decent players, not their fault they were injured (Cornelius)/Soslkjaer was incompetent
Here is the team of the tournament from the 2015 U21 european championships
Several of those are playing for big clubs now, or at least at top leagues. I think it is safe to say that Lewicki hs progressed the least from this point.
But you never know if we do sign him, there was obviously some talent there, and Warnock can get players performing at their best
Goalkeeper
Portugal José Sá
Defenders
Sweden Victor Lindelöf
Sweden Filip Helander
Denmark Jannik Vestergaard
Portugal Raphaël Guerreiro
Midfielders
Portugal William Carvalho
Sweden Oscar Lewicki
England Nathan Redmond
Portugal Bernardo Silva
Portugal Ivan Cavaleiro
Forward
Germany Kevin Volland
7 million in Swedish currency is around 600k Ive just read elsewhere. Sounds more like it.
There’s no way Tan will pay 7 million quid for another Scandinavian nobody. A DM at that.
I’ll let you off for the fact you were 12/13 when they played (and I use that very loosely) for us.Quote:
