    He will move to a Prem side at least, too good for us.

    Callum is our leader.

    JBG came to us.

    Johann was a very odd circumstance where he had already said he wasn't staying at AZ and let his contract ran out and wanted to come to England to trial at Rotherham before he joined us on a short contract as a stepping stone. We'd actually have to pay to sign a leading player for a Europa League side this time and it isn't going to happen, I don't think even Liege is an upgrade on AZ to be honest.

    We paid for Igor.

    It's just a rumour but sounds like what we need.

    Vetokele wasn't getting first team football whereas Henriksen is appears to be one of their best players and the Dutch league is stronger than the Danish league. I know its just a rumour (even worse, football rumour) but I'd be really shocked (and ecstatic) if we actually got him

    Eh? Vetokele played 31 games for Copenhagen in 13/14 including starting against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Pretty sure that counts as first team football

    When he signed this was the comment from Copenhagen. (translated)

    -Igor Had a fine season, even if it were his first year of regular playing time at this level. And in general he has been through a sensible development with us for FC Copenhagen. But in such a situation it is always about, to evaluate the player we have, up to the offer we get when one such addition. Right now, we know that we have a new striker into the squad in Steve De Ridder and when we also are not sure that Igor Vetokele and Andreas Cornelius who types in the long term is going to be the optimal duo, so we think it sensible was to say yes to a good deal and give Igor opportunity to try his dream of England in Charlton, says Manager Ståle Solbakken.

    He got more first team football but they signed that De Ridder to play ahead of him.

    That's a weird interpretation. The way I read that is they signed Steve de Ridder, and Cornelius and Vetokele would compete for the spot alongside him. With that in mind they decided to take the millions of euros offered to them for Igor. Igor could well have been the partner for de Ridder, especially considering that Cornelius is rubbish. Seeing as we signed Igor in the summer and he'd just come of the back of a 31 game season saying he wasn't getting first team football just isn't true.

    Put it this way: that's the kind of signing we need to convince Johann of our ambition.

    The ever reliable Football Rumours site is linking us with another raid on AZ Alkmaar, this time for Norway international Markus Henriksen.
    Six-foot-goal-scoring-playmaker, 22, who nearly joined Napoli a few years (if you believe Wiki)

    It's Sunday, have a read:

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Henriksen

    Does he have a tasty YouTube montage?

    All that passing football, its a bit of a shocking thing to watch for a British football supporter. I had to have a lie down in a darkened room for a bit after that.

    any one else spot our johan in that video? :wink:
  • Zamora and Karl Henry both out of contract this summer. Worth looking if they are released?

    Zamora would be too expensive and he is getting on a bit for a forward. Doubt he would consider the significant drop in wages as well. Not sure about Karl Henry.

    Not a rumour, but Giles Barnes (yes the 'wonderkid' from derby who never amassed to much more than a relegation with Doncaster) is captain of Houston Dynamo in MLS, and has looked a class above in the game against Toronto tonight. Yes it is just the MLS, but it is on the same pitch as Michael Bradley (US international) Giovinco (Italian international) and he has ran the show in attacking midfield, has energy, pace, a wicked shot. And im sure hell be back in England before too long based on the reviews he has been getting this year...

    Anyone watching the Chesterfield v Preston game as impressed with their number 5 Mortsy (I think)? Absolutely ran the game and could pass a ball within a millimetre of its target.

    Well worth a look given Chesterfield aren't doing anything

    If Barnes over his injuries he could be a great signing.

    After joining in November, Jamie O’Hara was Blackpool's player of the year, maybe worth a punt, seeing that we've taken the risk of signing another 'controversial ' player in Roger Johnson, and that worked out ok?

    That poncing ginger chunt can feck off. Disgrace to the shirt, diving about and pretending to be injured when caught in possession like a right fanny

    I know he's short but surprised he's switched to being a jockey.

    Good luck Jack and Colin it's Munns
