Your Hidden Gems or under the radar - Wanted Signings

Surprised not to have seen a thread on that young Saints winger who absolutely murdered Dalot in the first half

I'd love to find a very experienced older centre forward, someone to turn to if the goals aren't flowing, proven goal-scoring class but now towards end of his career who could also help younger forwards (yes, I know we've got RvN on staff but not same thing). A Vardy-type character but not particularly Vardy...

What could go wrong?

Falcao, Cavani, Ronaldo……

Glad this didn’t become a thing this summer.

Cavani doesn’t belong in the conversation as I’d say he was a success for being a free

Ronaldo is its own situation

Free is irrelevant at those sorts of wages. Cavani was very expensive overall. He was decent in the first season and crap in the second. Success would be a stretch.

Mate it's the equivalent of paying a 10m transfer fee and a player playing for free without wages. You're severely overblowing it, and for what he brought (basically saved our ass second half of 20/21 along with Pogba and Greenwood) it was worth it.

I say this as someone that thought it was embarassing that people were singing songs and adored him after how little he actually played his time here. But people overrate the wages thing far too much for free/short term signings.

He seemed to see his arse over Ronaldo. That and his persistent injury issues did for him.

As an aside, he would have been an absolute club legend for us if we’d managed to sign him 5 years earlier. Ah, coulda woulda shoulda.

It was purely the Ronaldo introduction. Cavani only stayed on after Ole persuaded him he was a large part of his plans and then out of nowhere the club forced Ronaldo into the squad and Cavani was no more.
 
Fussball.News linked us with 3 Red Bull Salzburg players. Laola1 made a story out of it.

Baidoo CB - 20y - 8 Mill. € - Austria
Gloukh OM/CM - 20 - 25 Mill. € - Israel
Daghim Striker - 18 - 2 Mill. € - Denmark
Baidoo was linked to City too, young CB with talent, but had an injury last season and struggles this season under a new coach/ system and without a good partner.
Gloukh played a good tournament for Israel this summer, has great potential. He could be a Bruno Fernades replacement. His price tag is already high.
Daghim could be the unknown gem. Just 18, great hight, great speed. He plays at the right wing at the moment, but has everything for a great Nr.9. His body could fit the PL.

I assume with Vivel this will be a theme that will come up, maybe one will be successful.
 
Lorran, my GF is brazilian and supports Flamengo so started watching him this calender year. He's one of the best young players in Brazil.
