The recruitment team will certainly be watching a youtube highlight of each of these players.

Signing announced soon. 

We might hope, but don't hold your breath .

Tobias lauritsen complete tree.

Jizz hornkamp great name but I think he shot off to Alkmaar recently 

Koki Ogawa

 

Have decent stats in Holland. Never seen any of them play.

 

Hornkamp indeed signed for AZ Alkmaar earlier this month.

A player worth looking at is AZ’s Irish striker Troy Parrot. Good goalscoring record and at 1 meter 86 centimeters someone with some height up front.

Evann Guessand on loan from Villa. They are loaded with forwards.

I mentioned Parrot a few weeks ago, but was told he was out of our price range and already playing at a higher level.

Not to be beaten, SR pull out a left field Parrot coup...

... or cue.

It was sarcasm. The players listed were above 6'. We prefer our forwards to hover around 5.5'

Give Edozie a chance. He has something about him, which is more than you can say for archer.

No. But there's the SR motto "If you're small enough, you're good enough." 🙂

Height is no guarantee of success either.  (mind you.. Messi is no giant is he?).

Onuachu's goal tally was nothing to boast about, (and Carrillo never got off the mark), but 

then again we didn't play with any real wingers in the whole time they were with us.

instead we became obsessed with the concept of "overlapping full backs".  A BS idea.

People are not expecting Messi to win crosses against 4 defenders in the box though...

Edit: TP was tall but had the vertical leap of an inch.
