Harry Souttar anyone?

[Queensland Wolf]

The Aussie CH has all the attributes in my opinion as a top class CH. He is over 185 cms and can score goals from set pieces with his head. He is only 22 and reads the game really well. He had broken into I
Oz national team and scored goals and then broke his leg. Fought back to fitness and only just made WC. Plays for Stoke and regularly MOM. Only played a few minutes in the last year
His last ditch tackling is timed to perfection and the two he pulled off against Tunisia we’re goal saving tackles- just my opinion

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Very good player, but I think very similar to Max and Nathan at present and might need some more experience in there. Never the less still a good player

 

[Flump]

Never, ever sign a player based on their performance in a World Cup.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Wouldn’t really be any better than what we already have??

 

[Wolf316]

Need much more experience I’m hoping we sign Nacho from Real Madrid.

Hasn't he already said he isn't leaving Real in January........

Think he wants to stay but he’s out of contract in the summer so they may be open to offers to get him off the wage bill much like their striker we’ve been linked with.

Cant see Nacho leaving.......they want rid of Marino for definite...

Is Nacho likely to get a new contract in the summer considering he’s 32?

Rumour he is going MLS in the summer......he will stay at Madrid...see his contract out....

All of this

Shame. Maybe Julen can have a word and change his mind.

He looked amazing in the last game, but his record is Brechin, Dundee, Ross County, Fleetwood and Stoke.
Maybe a few years ago when we were in the Championship he'd have been worth a gamble, like Hull did with Harry Maguire who is very similar in stature and style and then he really came to the fore in the Championship. I can't see a Premier League taking a chance on him though, he needs to get promoted on merit and then show he can play at the top level. Maybe getting out of Stoke will help him.

 

[Abbobrom]

My Stoke supporting son in law says without doubt that Collins is better.

 

[Edinburgh Wolf]

He was really poor a few seasons back when he was on loan at Ross County, although he was young. He genuinely looked like my 9 year old son does when he's playing after a growth spurt - totally incapable of controlling his legs and really unbalanced. Astounded to see him being linked with premier league clubs.

He's also just back from a year out with an ACL injury, so he's more of a pre-Julen Wolves signing.

 

[scrufftyguy]

Any chance the title can be edited with (not linked)?

 

[stever]

Not in this world cup, where the standard has been terrible

 

[Ian]

Soutter did well against Tunisia but was all over the place against the French ( although did supply the long ball for Leckie to set up Goodwin) where 3 of their goals were scored from headers. A nearly 7ft tall ( Soutter) CB shouldn't be getting beaten in the air.
He's just come back from an ACL being tall it may be an ongoing issue ( like Sasa).

 

[arctic rime]

JL will sign proven quality and experience

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

JL will sign proven quality and experience

It will be players from the Spanish La liga none of us would really know unless we watch these teams. He knows what he wants already so let’s hope it brings change of fortune.

Rayo, Osasuna, Mallorca, Betis, Bilbao, Sevilla, Vigo

Pick up cheap decent players from we aren’t going to attract players from Barcelona or Madrid whilst we are lay bottom of the pile.

Get the feeling Hwang is on his way out the door

Agreed re p[layers
Fingers crossed re Hwang!

That Saiss chap looks good for Morocco

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Nowhere near the level required for the position we’re currently in.

unless his name is Osvaldo Ardiles.

 

[Bryce]

Turning circle of the QE2 .Not fast enough either. I think there are better options for less money

 

[MattH]

Stoke fans reckon Soutar will be sold soon. They really rate him, but not sure another promising yet inexperienced centre back is a priority for us right now.

 

[Mugwump]

Australia really dont have many good players these days and the Standard of the A-League is about league one level. Years ago they had plenty of good quality premier league footballers, these days i think they arguably have Ryan and thats about it.

Duke no good? Looks quite the target man

As much as we’re getting a reputation for getting players back from ACL injuries I don’t think the medical team need any more experience in that than they have at the moment!

Sadly we also seem to be getting a reputation for getting players the damned things in the first place....

I dont think so. Probably a good reason he has just been a journeyman striker around Australia and Asia.

The most talented Australian player has falĺen out with the manager.... Rogic.
But yes, the days of Kewell, Viduka, Moore, Cahill and Bosnich are long gone, Arnold is doing a Republic of Ireland and picking anyone with a distant Aussie relation, unfortunately most of them are second rate Scotsmen.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Fair play. He's done alright in a defensive set up against tepid opposition but no.

We've spent around 20 million on CB's since 2017. It's about time we went and got a seriously good one, particularly if we're going to play with a back 4.

 

[blaenboy]

Certainly very impressive tonight. Denmark tepid opposition? Not in the same class as Brentford or Southampton or Crystal Palace I suppose, but not bad.

compared to the first rate Scotsmen, who are not playing there

It was a masterstroke by Australia to get out of South American qualifying and into Asia, and considering that quite a few Australians hardly kick a ball in Australia and are scouted off to Europe very quickly, they've done very well to put a good team out that can't get together that often....evidenced by a very dicey qualifying campaign. As Jack Charlton showed very early on, birth nationality means **** all anymore in a world of migration and relatives, and who better to exploit it than a migrant country like Australia.
