Who is excited about the potential signing of Sindre Walle Egeli but wishes news didn't get leaked until deal is done!
But this is the world we now inhabit.... |  |

I was just thinking how miffed Wrexham were when the podcast chaps posted Broady in his Wrexham training kit with a young fan…that was before the official announcement right? |  |

I hear you
This deal is so much the strategy of the club
Grow him, get him to support a promotion and survival season.
Then sell for huge profit.
To go and do it again. |  |

Yes. My uncle's cat has been going about us signing him since a week ago last Tuesday. Have you been sleeping?
Or no. I hadn't. |  |

Wasn’t aware of him at all, but then I don’t follow the Danish league. |  | | |

No, I hadn't either, but I don't really follow any foreign leagues. I knew nothing about Haaland before City went in for him, so don't rely on me for scouting reports! [Post edited 17 Aug 8:53]

Sadly Swanse your version is probably more accurate
We should celebrate the Omari sale as proof the system works and that we can show other young stars we are the place to come to
I like the grow term… we’re

So, next question. How do people get so excited about a player most of us won’t have heard about before. Do we have a select few who religiously follow relatively niche foreign leagues, or have an uncle with an ITK cat? Or do they just see a highlight reel? I don’t feel I can trust highlight reels after the Sam Parkin incident. | |

Yep. Don’t underestimate the potential pull of being seen as a place to develop and secure a dream move. And then hopefully at point we can cross that line from feeder club to established PL end destination. | |

It's the hope that kills you. If it's a vaguely known quantity from our leagues there will always be a naysayer or seven to dampen expectations. But when it's out of the blue and an unknown it's fresh and exciting and less sullied by know it alls. See also the Mexican and the Uruguayan.
What is it a certain poster on here says....? BELIEVE! |  | | |

It’s a bit sad, but I’m quite fascinated with ownership models of clubs, I.e City Group, Red Bull Group and the one FC Nordsjælland are a part of, The Right to Dream group.
In turn I take a bit of interest in those clubs and that way build up a bit of knowledge about them and their players. FC Nordsjælland predominantly sign players from Ghana (where the Group began in), so is an interesting concept. They’re not adverse to local talent either, they had a lad called Andreas Schjelderup who they sold to Benfica for big money a couple years back also. |  |

Yeah, there’s a lot to that. See a highlight reel of an unknown and they’re suddenly the bees knees. Like a first date before finding out they snore and have hairy palms. | |

Nothing sad about that. Do you think our owners have any plans to broaden and more formalise a larger group? I’ve been surprised we’ve not done more with Pheonix Rising. Even if it’s not suitable for player swaps, I’d have thought we’d have had a friendly or tour one way or the other. But maybe their league schedule in the summer makes that difficult. I wonder if we’ll see them acquire another European club. | |

I think that’s the long term aim. Funnily enough, another forum user who has a bit more ITK knowledge than me mentioned a few weeks back that we had looked at a club in Slovakia (I think it was there). | |

Think the only player I had any knowledge on from that league is Dju, mainly because I bought him for Ipswich in FM and he was rather good.
Having watched him a little, I always thought he'd be alright in our system as well. Got the physicality and can hold up the ball but has great pace to boot. |  |

That was it, the name escaped me. Probably a coincidence (or maybe not) but our youth side played theirs this season pre-season… | |
