Reggie Greenwood Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 1 hour ago, RamsFan10 said: I do wonder if we’re still open to free agents given how pricey some loans will be. Some suggestions from a quick look at Transfermarkt. The obvious one is Lucas Joao but since his Reading days he’s been in China and Qatar, likely on wages we won’t pay. Tyrese John-Jules has been mentioned by some, although I’m sure we’ve already considered it and deemed him made of glass. Perhaps we’ll get him after the window shuts if we don’t land anyone else. Sebastian Andersson - another big swede and formerly of Djurgardens. Scored most of his goals in the Bundlesliga. Now 33 and was released from Koln in Bundesliga.2 this summer - didn’t get many minutes last season. But he is 6ft3in. Holmbert Fridjonnson - 31, 6ft5 and Icelandic. Has a decent record in the Scandi leagues, scored a few goals in Europe, but didn’t get too much playing time last year in Bundesliga.2. Maybe I’m just keen for more Scandinavian giants, but I feel these are the sort of players we might have to end up looking at. People with some left in the tank who are out of sorts elsewhere, perhaps wanting to give England a go, and have scored goals in the past. If we sign a player over 25 some on this site will spontaneously combust 😂 Comrade 86, Wolfie20, Leicester Ram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I don't know what he's like but Edvarsen is 28 years old, 6ft 1" and played for Djurgarden in 2022-23. He also has 1 cap for Sweden. Perhaps Zetterstrom might suggest him to Warne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylistically does look like he’d fit though. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Would Josh da Silva at Brentford be a reasonable midfield option? He did well in the championship but couldn’t quite make the transition to the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Cardiff have agreed a deal to sign Will Fish from Man Utd. I wonder if we were one of the other clubs chasing him as a younger centre back option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a lot of strikers to be fair. Delap, Broja, Szmodics, Harness, Ladapo, Al Hamidi, Hirst, Broadhead. Can see a lot of clubs being in for Al Hamidi. Hopefully we're one. Hirst I have found an article from last week saying he's had surgery and back in 8 weeks so he's a no. Broadhead all I can find is that he was seeing a specialist in July and nothing after that. So no idea if he's fit or out for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure he was mentioned as part of the Cashin deal last summer. Last month McKenna said Broadhead will be out for 2 months with a hamstring injury so he wont be going anywhere either Edited August 20 by DCFC1388 RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Genuine question: have all the ITKs been locked up?! No one is even making an attempt anymore. It’s sad. Topram, Fraser_23, Caerphilly Ram and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get 3 additional players is my guess at being ITK. But those 3 are most likely to be at Moor Farm for the first time 48 hours before the end of the window. We are totally reliant now on a couple of youngster loans from the Prem, and perhaps one older pro being released if his club get somebody they want. Maybe an out of contract player early September.

I did mention Hirst and Broadhead the other day, didn’t realise they were injured, should of done my research, would take Al Hamidi and Harness off their hands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, especially when you consider much of our business was done off the back of sell on clauses. Had the deals for Kellyman, Delap & Bogle not happened, what would our budget have looked like?
