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.

[Convict Colony]

hasnt been done this window so let me, I  will get the goat striker Arthur Scargil

He's not what you would class as a striker though is he.

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.

The forward I said in the summer we should get on loan was Taiwo Awoniyi from Forest but he scored this afternoon so maybe being given another chance with them.

[SW11_Saint]

Loan bid for Evan Ferguson?? 

[woodsaint1]

Whos scoring goals in Bundesliga 2? Thats who we'll probably sign given Spors knows fuck all else

[derry]

I quite liked the physicality, strength and mobility of Armstrong from Bristol City.

Yeah but on bench and not getting much game time, so rumours of him wanting out (from my Brighton pals). Rome vs Soton may be a challenge though!

I think we'd be a good move for him, and likewise the other way around. 

Rumours of all parties wanting to terminate that loan deal.  

Seems a bit like Delap, in that it seems like it would be a good deal for all parties to come to saints, but probably wont happen then he'll be linked with top clubs in a few seasons time.

PL players don't want to play int he championship. It's a big old dent to the ego. Also, we don't look terribly attractive at this moment.

Apart from at the start of the season, he's been getting minutes here and there off the bench, so Forrest will be reluctant to allow him to leave. Chris Wood is going to be out a while though injury, so that won't help, although they have signed a 6'7 striker on loan from Napoli. They are still in Europe and will qualify for the play off game, so won't want to leave themselves short. I don't see him dropping down a division. He has a decent reputation in Germany and PL exposure. He will get a half decent European gig when his contract ends.

Yes  but that meant he was already taller than a lot of those around him who did jump, but the

problem in our case was that we had no-one capable of crossjng the ball into the area to him..

I'd be shocked if Wolves or Burnley don't step in there first. Especially if Wolves sell Strand-Larson.
