JonnyBoy Posted 12 August 2024 Posted 12 August 2024 7 goals in 20 odd appearances in last two seasons in a lot poorer league.. and this is a good option for a ST? i might be blatantly missing something here, if so i apologise.

Finnegan Posted 12 August 2024 Posted 12 August 2024 So, guesses for Fulham (assuming Spurs too soon) something like Mads Ricardo, Faes, Okoli, JJ Ndidi, Winks Fatawu, BDCR*, Hlozek Ioannidis *absolutely wouldn't be my choice. Would much rather Hlozek sat behind Ioannidis and Mavididi on the right but Cooper seems to have a hard on for Reid.

Someone please tell explain the excitement You're not missing something, and I think those of us on the forum need to understand this. The excitement would be that this is a player with huge potential and a high ceiling. I believe he was considered the best ever palyer to come through the Sparta Prague academy and was expected to become a top talent at a big European club, hence the big move to Leverkusen. In one season he had 15 goals from 19 appearances. However, he did not live up to the billing and lacked confidence. Anyone expecting this guy to come in and hit the ground running is in for a shock. However, if you look at him as a young talent with high potential that we could develop, he absolutely fits that mould. That's why we are signing him, if he doesn't hit the heights this season, I think it's likely he does after a few seasons. Edited 12 August 2024 by StriderHiryu 1

Turtle27 Posted 12 August 2024 Posted 12 August 2024 Can I honestly say I’ve never heard of him 🤔 how is his name pronounced?

I'd say it's reasonably fair to compare his career trajectory more to someone like Youri Tielemans than - yknow - Oliver Skipp or something though. He clearly has a lot of talent but he came through at a VERY young age in a pub team for a club that are very strong in his own country. Then all of a sudden he's at a big club in Europe in a much bigger league with a lot of hype and expectation and has found it hard. 1 1

Only because he hasn’t got much alternative right now I feel I think Hlozek in behind Fotis and Mavididi in and you’re spot on.

Martyn Glover clearly just gets his targets from the ‘Who do you want for next season in the PL’ thread. I mean it's not like football scouting is rocket science is it. Makes me laugh sometimes how people hold some chief scouts/head of recruitments in such high regard. Just some blokes who love watching football and are reasonably into data. We've got loads of them on here!
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 12 August 2024 Posted 12 August 2024 Never heard of him. But I’m desperate so I’ll take him

Hopefully don’t end like Tete or we are ****ed I said last Thursday that I wouldn’t be surprised if Zaha gets linked, a day later, boom! Ioannidis been recommended numerous times...boom! Hlozek been recommended numerous times...boom! Glover clearly just reads Foxestalk. 2
