Wow, when you see the names mentioned in this thread so far, we have signed a lorry load of sh1te in the past 😁

Of recent years: Lafferty, the lesser spotted Becchio, Hooiveld, Watkins, Marshall…

You're probably right. And anyone who plays 31 out of 32 games in the top half of the Bundesliga is going to be too good for us. 

Leeds had a bid refused 2 years ago. 

It looks like he's lost weight

He also looks like he's been smoking a bit of sweeeeeet Mary Jane

No! 😯 Not a potential converted CDM prospect?

I think the plan is to buy him and play him somewhere other than CDM. That way we all can argue about how good he would be at CDM as a distraction from the relegation to League 1 that our more miserable posters think is nailed on.

Tony Warner was actually pretty decent. We probably should have signed him permanently rather than spunking £1m on David Marshall

Sounds like a plan. Sign him up

I think you'd be surprised. Vrancic was a similar type player (regular appearances but not an every week starter) from the Bundesliga who joined us in the Championship and we likely can pay as much if not more than Mainz when it comes to wages.

I don't think a player with this profile is out of the question but this link feels a bit 'linking Bundesliga players to the team that signs Bundesliga players.'

Not really. Mario twice played half a season for 2 teams right at the bottom of the Bundesliga. The rest of his career was in the 2nd Division. This guy has played every game for a team in the top 8. If we could get him to play for us in the Championship it would be an excellent signing. But like you say, it's probably just lazy reporting.

Not sure if you can raise if he/she's all in; you can call. Unless you get a little sidepot going with someone else; which must be quite likely given the horseshíte you're trying to raise with! 🐎💩😄

Call with Fernando Derveld, Raymond DeWard and Jean-Yves De Blasiis

I always feel a bit sorry for these three. De Blasiis at the time, was a bit of a revelation. Very cultured player, good left foot and could take on players as well, I remember him nutmegging a player twice Vs a good Bolton side (Gudjonsson was in it). An injury put an end to that which was a shame because both he and Anselin had made a very positive impact on what was a particularly ordinary team before that.

Derveld actually had a decent career away from us. DeWard was forced to retire due to injury which is why we never got to see him get any better.

Another two players that arrived with real potential to add to our side that never delivered due to injury are Matthieu Louis-Jean who arrived aged 25 with real potential after impressing at Forrest only to be injured after handful of games and that being it. Neil Emblen being the other, though more experienced.

The Hamilton, Roeder and Grant era's did deliver a number of proper stinkers to our side though. For example, neither Des Hamilton or Gary Brady were particularly fantastic for us either.

Busted flush, Derveld was OK in the scheme of things

I did think adding Jean-Yves was a bit of a stretch

Talking of transfers, would be okay if we started signing Villa players? The so called fringe players

Villa to be our new Bournemouth?

Any planes been spotted yet?😉

Football League World credit us with an interest in former youth player, Harry Toffolo.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/what-huddersfield-have-told-harry-toffolo-amid-blackburn-middlesbrough-millwall-norwich-transfer-interest/

Almost definitely untrue given the source - but if Dimi wants to go or McCallum doesn't impress Smith could this be an option?

[Terminally Yellow 2,448]

The Athletic suggesting we're after Aberdeen right back Calvin Ramsey. Only teeny tiny problem - we are in good company with Sassulo, Leeds and Liverpool also interested.

It'sa good article about him if you fancy knowing a bit more about him.

Great, still not after midfielders..

Oldham just got relegated to the National League.

 

Should be some bargains to be had there.
