come on saints he's already wearing our shirt 🤣 Come on

I am going to manifest this until sports republic make it happen or someone gets a better name. Igor Matanovic - 22yrs old

exactly im all on on igor and refuse to check any highlights or stats

Guys after consulting with my expert a.i sporting director who has experience of the bundesliga, italy and now uk the undervalued gem CF we need to sign is apparently Croatian Igor Matanovic 22yr old SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga, where he's carving out a role as a physical, hold-up forward after moving from Eintracht Frankfurt in summer 2025 for more minutes. Why him ? At 6'4", he's a beast in the air and links play well, but he's got untapped finishing and movement—think a raw Harry Kane type with room to explode. Last season's loan spells showed flashes (decent goals in limited action), and this year he's chipping in amid Freiburg's mid-table grind, but he's undervalued because he's not a flashy name yet. Market value's around €4-5m, contract to 2028, so we could snag him for €3-4m plus add-ons if we move quick in January.

Yeah seemed too easy so re-did my search and post and its now opting for 23yr old croatian instead above

Update - asked expert a.i to be sporting director of southampton who has a lot of experience in the Bundesliga and also in italy to identify and undervalued high potential CF we could buy. As Southampton's sporting director, drawing on my years scouting in the Bundesliga and Serie A, I've zeroed in on Igor Matanovic as our prime target. The 22-year-old Croatian striker (turns 23 in March) is at SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga, where he's carving out a role as a physical, hold-up forward after moving from Eintracht Frankfurt in summer 2025 for more minutes. Why him? At 6'4", he's a beast in the air and links play well, but he's got untapped finishing and movement—think a raw Harry Kane type with room to explode. Last season's loan spells showed flashes (decent goals in limited action), and this year he's chipping in amid Freiburg's mid-table grind, but he's undervalued because he's not a flashy name yet. Market value's around €4-5m, contract to 2028, so we could snag him for €3-4m plus add-ons if we move quick in January. High potential? Absolutely—young, adaptable, and my Bundesliga contacts rave about his work ethic. Fits our need for a budget gem who can develop into a starter or flip for profit. Skip the big-money risks; this is smart business.

First i commend you for pulling up a list of names as its always easy to shoot down ideas and I dont have any better ones so apologies for no counterpoint amigo But Coda is 37 and Jatta plays for L2 Notts county I can get behind Futkeu as a Downs replacement as he seems like the highest potential, the rest

worringly we have been linked before i think back in the summer

wait is some one advocating that we sign a 27yr old CF from L2 Notts County !!!!!

one of you must know a striker who has world cup hopes probably for a shit nation who isn't getting into his club team and is too good for us but might be willing to play for 6 months in championship. and before anyone says it endrick is already at Lyon.

Pelle's gone mate, give it up

In other news i hope we actually get a keeper who bollocks and goes mental at his defenders rather than the "lets look cool calm and collected" crew

happy you asked for me. Given he has played in the champions league, europa league etc and has a smoking hot wife he is more than capable of playing shit and being entitled and telling the manager what to do like the rest of our squad.

Agree with this, and whilst its easy to go to the "burn the witch" mob mindset we do have to look after players training loads etc. The mistake by manning (no issue with Stephens in cornwall) is his missus posting it online that they are somewhere nice and warm miles away, but to be fair he probably didnt put up too much of a defence if his performances are anything to go by. Anyway i want wellington and jelert starting in a back 4 so he can stay there for a while.

My friend says VPN is a way around this issue of blocks and shock blocks during sporting events. He uses surfshark, but also Nordvpn and ExpressVpn will do the job. Your friend should change location to germany, or NL to reduce lag then connect, hope it helps him
