Bielik, Jozzy and even Kazim do seem to illustrate that he wasn't too far off the mark so there's little point in slinging out the baby with the bathwater. If good prospects have been identified, Rooney would be a foolish to ignore them, not that I believe for a moment that he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Big question for me is - who has been the main person recommending players to the manager. I think maybe Rosenior. Now Wayne can ring his contacts at clubs and see who is free and he may get preferential treatment we hope. It would be easy to identify the top two players from each lower league club in an afternoon. Surely we have software to check the progress of every player in the top four divisions in UK and Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is'nt Stevie Mac's son on this payroll in charge of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is'nt Stevie Mac's son on this payroll in charge of this. He may be an unsung hero in that case. Looks good for next few years with Schteve, Son of Schteve and Rooney. Rooney looks mightily settled in to me. Players increasing in value by the game. Tactics was a factor but Wayne tells us that the players are very good and it was about BELIEF. Rooney is communicating that three points is possible before each game is played. It was very difficult to spot mistakes being made by players last night. 20 attempts on goal and 9 on target seems improbable. They had one shot in target. Murray mints evening for Marshall. At the end of the game Kazim went to congratulate our 16 year old debutant. Kazim - worth his weight in Turkish Delight. Sibley had a place in this team if he can adapt to playing in the wing. Jozwiack has the quickest feet since Hinton. Marked by two men he pulled a truck on them. He saw Knight with his hand up and curled an exquisite pass into the path of Knight coming in from the blind side. We have had it done to us. Now we are doing it to them. Will be interesting to see Wayne's team against Chorley. Academy eleven with nine first team subs is what I would do. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Kasper Junker is currently down as £1.8m in transfer market value. Middlesboro are interested and also Palace and Westbrom. I personally think he's off our radar, due to value and FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thought I read somewhere that Derby are not in for this striker and he was Turkish bound this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 On 30/09/2020 at 10:26, Ambitious said: The team this guy plays for must have some potential gems. They won promotion in 2017 to the top division, finished 11th out of 16th in 2018, 2nd in 2019 and now sit nearly 20 points clear of second with just 19 matches played. A good young team! They only missed out going to the Europa League a week ago as they drew AC Milan AWAY in the Third Qualifying Round - they only lost 3-2. Junker actually scored the opening goal of the game. AC Milan hit back with 3 goals and Bodo/Glimt's best player (apparently) a left winger, Jens Hauge, scored a second but they couldn't find a late equaliser. It looks like they gave a good account of themselves, AC Milan were obviously the better team, but it wasn't dominant. It would be interesting to see what makes this team tick, because they're playing at a very high level. I have absolutely no doubt that a couple of the players, at least, will be well worth a watch. On 30/09/2020 at 10:38, Ambitious said: Patrick Berg has been called up to the Norweigen national team, who is there 22 year old captain. Defensive midfielder. Hauge was definitely their highest rated player: 20 year old left winger, 14 goals and 10 assists in 18 games. He, too, has just been called up by Norway and on the verge of securing a €5m move to AC Milan worth €20k-a-week. It will be interesting to see how he gets on, obviously looks the part. Norway have a really promising team. Hauge has recently broke into AC Milan starting XI and seems to be doing well. It could be worth looking at Junker in more detail, especially considering the transition for Hauge has been ok and that's at the very top of Serie A. Although, we may not have money to make this happen. I guess we will have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan are a young team with a few older heads, such as Zlatan who’s had a great impact. The difference may be that Hauge is a young player with heaps of potential playing with some very good players. Junker is not only a lot closer to his peak, he would also need to be at a high level from the off. A lot more pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
