I for one couldn't give a shiney shite whether or not he's black, white, yellow, Jewish, Muslim, Jedi, Gay or straight, as long as he can play football!

It amazes me how many people on this forum don’t know how budgets work! This is a good bit of business, if we can pull it off, leaving us with some money to spend on another

Just dropped on Brighton's fans forum. They rate him very highly. He's 19. They have a bloated squad, he needs game time (they're getting Matt O'Riley too) They are very happy that they are not selling him. Good signs

Updated

Yes, I agree. I wasn’t really referring to any finance

Simply because losing Ward and Iversen and replacing them with Johnstone strengthens thee squad id rather have: Hermansen Stolaryxz Johnstone than Hermansen Ward Iversen Stolaryxz

He looked fresh in the Euros for Romania. I don’t know, I’m just scratching around for ideas

Ok. What about Hagi?

Ianis Hagi has well and truly fallen out with Rangers. We could pick him up for a couple of million. He’s a number 10. Had massive potential, but lost his way. Looked good for Romania in the Euros. could have him and Alves lock down the 10 role (which I think SC won’t actually use that much this season), and spend the funds on other positions Thoughts?

Skip over this one

I’d buy into this, if we sold/moved on Iversen and Ward

After some of the dross we’ve been linked with, I’d be happy to bring this lad in on a free. Could do a job under Coops imo

As he’s free may as well get this done now. He’s versatile enough to cover all midfield positions.

If we're thinking of spending circa £10m on David Fofana, and try to get another winger in as well, we might be thinking for circa £20m on, we could do worse than buying Bergwijn, as he has played about 30 games as a striker, so he could cover the two problem areas

If it was down to ME to pick the team, with the current players, and current injuries, I'd go with: Hermansen Ricardo Coady Okoli Kristiansen Ndidi Winks Fatawu Alves Mavididi Daka Iversen Justin, Faes, Vestergaard Soumare, Choudhury De Cordova-Reid, McAteer Cannon

Tanner knows f all

Who was that 'big sale' ? The only decent money would be had from Hermansen or maybe Faes, but we won't get much for him!

I agree. I've put down how i think Cooper would line up, if we started the season with what we currently have

It won't be, but to answer the original post, I think Cooper would line up as: Hermansen Ricardo Coady Okoli Justin Soumare Winks Ndidi Fatawu Daka Mavididi Or Hermansen Faes Vestergaard Okoli Ricardo Ndidi Winks Kristiansen BDCR Daka Mavididi

His wages will be the stumbling block for us, I'd imagine

Spot on. We will be looking at pace, and we will be countering more. Speaking to a lot of Forest fans (unfortunately for me), In the Premier league Cooper quickly resorted to playing a counter attacking style, following their promotion. This is where he felt he had his most success. I'm pretty sure that'll be his plan for us. I think he's trying a 'half-way house' approach in pre-season, i.e. seeing what he can carry over from Enzo's time in terms of possession football, but I firmly believe he's going to start to implement a 'get the ball forward, quickly' (not long ball) style, when the season kicks off. I think he just needs to get the right personnel through the door. It's actually not bad to watch. He tries to have his team pass quickly through the lines.

Amir Richardson. Steven Bergwijn. Fabio Carvalho and Davide Fofana. please Rudders. Hurry up, get it done and close up shop. cheers

He's no Sergio Hellings tbf

Arnaut Danjuma - that's him! Yes, I'd take Bergwijn, on the basis he's not Danjuma
