Another f***ing left-back?!! Does Lambo get instant grat from them or wut?

[godzvilla]

A friend in Sweden (Hammarby fan) has told me that as well as the goalie we have signed, we are looking at taking a young midfielder called Kevin Jarrett-Marston.
Probably not the biggest bit of transfer news!

Did,nt know we,d signed a Goalie from Sweden , apparently his name is Victor Johansson and he signed at the end of July  , at least I think he did , my Swedish is pretty well  non-existent .
2 years ago , at the age of 14 he came over here for Trials  and gave wide-eyed this impression of his stay , I loved the bit about ´suspended clothes ´! .

"It has been both a bit unreal and indescribable. Everything was so professional, the clothes are suspended when one enters the dressing room, all washed, the facilities were out of this world and the hotel was perfect," said Johansson " .
 
As for Kevin Jarrett-Marston , a young mid-fielder  apparently he is  in Birmingham from 18 to 21 August for trials . Ones foe the future , possibly ...............................Godzvilla!

I can't see it happening myself. Riise just trying to promote himself, I'd imagine.

I would imagine that any interest was pre-Cissokho. Possibly even pre-Richardson.

[mr underhill]

pre B.C.  more like. An ok shout  maybe ten years ago .

[Nastylee]

Interest could be simply a phone call to an agent or an agent to a club. There is a huge difference between interest and an offer, and should he sign he would be making up the numbers on a modest contract.

[UK Redsox]

Yeah on what possible basis could he got for that little in the current market?

Yup, he'll probably go for closer to Shane Long money

yep. Getting Richardson made a lot of sense and Cissokho even more so. We don't need another player in that position so I agree this might have been an inquiry pre both of those players.

We were linked with Riise last summer - might just have been left-over from that.

It's a shame we can't take Vargas and Fer before QPR finalise those deals.

Vargas would be great wide in a front three and Fer, Sanchez and Delph would be a very solid midfield.

[ozzjim]

Fer was the one player I really wanted from the sides going down. Realy shame, makes them much stronger too. Think they should have enough if Remy stays.

[Steve67]

Holtby, Sanchez and Delph would be a strong enough midfield trio.

[Matt C]

Holtby - or Dembele for that matter - from the club that collects central midfield players would be great.

[Dante Lavelli]

Holtby - or Dembele for that matter - from the club that collects central midfield players would be great.

I don't get the Holtby thing.  What is it that people have seen in him, what are his strengths?
All I see is an athlete that can run around a lot.  Furthermore, 'between the lines' as he does;t seem to read the play either.

I admit I haven't seen much of him at spurs but nothing has suggested he's worth the bother.
