Obviously right footed but pinged some out with his left foot too. It's high risk but also high reward the more times we get it right. Yes, there may be a mistake or two, but I hope that wouldn't overshadow all the other stuff he'll be brought in to do that goes beyond shot-stopping - the ability to start moves or attacks will benefit us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need new wide players anyway, presumably we are scouting lads who can control/trap a ball as well as beat a man. I personally hope we go for wide men with a bit of a physical presence. Can see Piroe cutting in off the flank, with an overlapping full back, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure height is directly related to aerial dominance, I mean Jannik would suggest its not conclusive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper although slightly shorter than average is a powerfully built man. Harry Souttar will be needed with a small goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of high jacking another thread with talk of tactics, I don't see too many overlapping runs by out FB's. From what we've seen, one will step in to CM, the other will push in to make the back 4 a back 3. The width will come from the wingers so I imagine the players we get for those positions will be more traditional wide players. The two #8's will be the ones getting into the box to support the striker. If we do sign Piroe, it will be for the main striker position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not over that entire saga... 15m for someone who at times benched Barnes on merit.

Hadn't even occurred to me they might have been teammates with Denmark youth groups, assumed the age gap was too wide.
