Laursen and Mellberg both still give me a twitch. Good times.

We're overdue for a Scandinavian as well, for a long time it was a mainstay of the squad for us to have at least 1.
Unfotunately with one or two obvious (Norwegian) exceptions they're largely
a) crap
b) over the hill
c) both.

I dunno, that Sweden front four could probably hold its own against any other attack in the world.

For some reason only known to my subconscious I'd completely discounted the Swedes  :-[.  And can still only think of Isak and Kulusevski!

Denmark (in my opinion) are really weak currently but both Sweden and Norway have some fantastic players.

Not sure where it's come from but there's some comments on SM linking us to Gabriel Sara. From what I've seen of him he's very much in the Tielemans mould so might be a decent option.

I've seen us linked to Sara as well but we seem to get linked to a lot of players that play in Turkey.

We've had loads of French players. We need a Uruguayan to complete the set of proper football countries.

I think they used to serve Fray Bentos pies in the canteen at BMH.

There's some chat online that Newcastle have made an approach for Ramsey.

Probably because Craig Hope ( Geordie Journo ) has us approaching Harvey Barnes.

We should buy him just to stop him scoring against us all the time.

I wanted us to go for Barnes in that window where Leicester went down. Thought we drew the short straw with Tielemans over Barnes or Maddison. I am aware how wrong I was.
