Anybody else hoping for some random overseas signings? 13:30 - May 10 with 4550 viewsSTYG

I'd be more than happy to add the likes of Verdaine Oliver, Callum Connolly, Wes Burns etc to the squad and am sure we will be looking at standout performers at this level or squad players from the division above, young enough to drop down and be stars.

But wouldn't it be great to just have some out of nowhere signings. Czech centre half. Dutch winger. The maestro at some Bundesliga 2 club that just missed out on promotion.

It would be a lovely sign that Cook, The Three Lions, Ashton between them have a proper scouting network in place ready to hit the ground running as these won't be Skard or Malarcyk type punts. Proper scouted players. You think Leicester got Mahrez for £400k and sold him for £60m.

There is an absolute wealth of players across Europe that would, even at a League One club, increase their wages, play for a bigger club, put themselves on the radar of bigger clubs here and could be huge stars at this level and the one above.

Would love it if we went down that route to a degree. Not a whole team at once. But a couple of carefully picked gems.

He really wasn't though.


I thought bl**dy h*ll how have we signed him? I remember him skinning people as a youngster at Leicester and thinking he'd have a great career. He was lightning fast early on in his career.

Unfortunately, Brexit will make obtaining a work permit quite difficult for foreign players at our current level.

Depends on criteria though,

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

While MM deserves plenty of praise for various things, Waghorn isn't one of them. That was just not looking a gift horse in the mouth. They phoned and offered him to us. He then said yes.


To be fair, Lambert would've just jabbered on about big clubs in Germany until the person at the other end of the line hung up, Keane would have said f**k off you Rangers c**t, Jewell would've been too busy offering resignations to answer, and Hurst wouldn't even have been able to reach the phone.
