..okay, STOP @Hansern I have got to do some work now.
But yeah, really looks like he's continuing his nice progress. Love how he takes on players for fun. So fast and direct and full of skill.
Yeah, he was good. Some very nice skills when he won them a penalty.
Opportunity for Tymon to stake a claim for a starting XI berth.
Juventus are the favourites to sign him appaz
They have been for the last couple of weeks as far as I'm aware. However, presenter on the radio this morning seemed adamant that Ivanovic to Zenit will be done today and Chelsea have wrapped up Kolasinac for a small fee.
Bizarre if we haven't gone in for him at a very cut price - he looks like a classic Liverpool/Klopp signing.
Yeah, just saw it now. Would be very strange if we werent after him aswell. As you say, he looked like a classic Liverpool/Klopp signing.
Shame..
Good player that one, remember him tearing utd apart when they played in EL last year.
With new additions seemingly needed you just know the club are far more desperate to sell players (Sakho in particular) rather than sign them. Looks like the second transfer window in a run that we'll have made a profit. Hurray for balance books...
It's just our usual November blip displaced by a couple of months for a change. Keep the faith.
January ends today BTW. 😉

Can we push forward the end of Jan to 8pm tonight?
Celta has bought another young Dane, Andrew Hjulsager from Brøndby. His contract was running out in the Summer so the fee is set to about £1M.
He was in his youth days being talked about as the next big thing, with blistering pace, dribbling ability well above those in his age group etc.
Some believe he might got a bit caught up in the talk about him and his progress suddenly stagnated, but during the past year or so he has really started to show why some of the youth coaches in Brøndby regarded him as one of their biggest talents either.
Very similar in style to Emre Mor but not quite as dangerous in front of goal - something he'll have to develop further - and also older (22).
I don't think he's one for us at the moment and he very well might never be but it will be interesting to see how he fares in Spain - at least the foundation of a footballer is there, but whether he can build upon it remains to be seen. He's a bit difficult to call actually.
Ah screw it. We have to just wait until summer and see if we have fourth or not. If we qualify for CL then we probably attract a higher standard of player. We could have signed someone as a back up emergency choice now as the one we really wanted insisted on a team with CL footy, only then to find out we could have gotten the main target had we waited and gotten CL footy.
..he's not been anywhere near consistent enough to be considered a real target for us at this stage, but if he somehow begins to release some of the obvious potential and promise he's has shown since he broke through in Denmark as a 16-year-old, Kenneth Zohore could turn into a rather potent striker.
Really like his goal from last night for Cardiff, takes a lot of skill, power and pace to pull that one off.
@Pesam or anyone else watched him this season?

Never seen him play KHL but am aware of him and his recent starring performances. That goal was reminiscent of Collymore.
Nice comparison. At first I thought of a Heskey-goal when he was still at Leicester, but the Collymore comparison seems more apt as there were a bit more skill involved here.
The fact he's 1.92 cm tall, weighing in at around 100 kilos as well as he's got pace to burn turns him into quite the machine when in gear. The fact he also managed to keep his cool and actually got a very decent technique makes him at the very least someone to keep an eye on I guess.

Where to put this I don't know, but according to Mundo Deportivo the De Boer brothers (Frank and Ronald) have both recommended Barcelona to buy Kasper Dolberg already come Summer.
Anyone on here heard anything linking him to us, talks, a whisper, anything at all? Everton has watched him several times according to The Echo but what about us?
Do we even have scouts anymore?
Hello?

PS Kenneth Perez a former Ajax player now TV-pundit in Holland commented in a show back in December that he thought Dolberg should move to one of either Dortmund or Liverpool (because of their respective managers) and the fact they are clubs just shy of the very top (for the moment at least).
Article on RB Leipzig's Naby Keita (mentioned about rejecting offers from clubs including us).
http://www.espnfc.com/german-bundes...-uncanny-mix-of-ngolo-kante-and-franck-ribery
[article]On paper, he plays in a holding position at Leipzig, and very few midfielders make more tackles and interceptions than him. He is also responsible for building the play from behind with delightful through balls and wise distribution. All that doesn't stop him from bursting forward and taking on defenders. In fact, only Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele -- an out-and-out winger -- has completed more dribbles per game than Keita. With an average of 2.9, he leaves the likes of Ribery and Arjen Robben far behind.
Given such range of skills, it is easy to understand why he was nicknamed Deco in his homeland as a kid.

Sadio Mane, whom he met for a few weeks at Red Bull before the Senegalese star was sold to Southampton, was an inspiration for Keita. "He showed me the way," he said.[/article]

Keita is good. Very good.
We were never going to sign anyone this window. Let's be happy none of our rivals really did either.
When you say excellent, do you mean actually excellent, or "Hansern excellent"?
