[Albion] Jesper Karlsson

What is it with all these Swedes being linked?

Perhaps Matty Ryan has tipped the lad off about what a great club we are?

 

[Swansman]

Yeah I thought about him some 2.5 years ago because he got Brightonian.. sorry, Brightonese qualities.

[Albion] - So we all know there's a striker incoming - Who ?

Tammy slightly more realistic ! Sent from my SM-G977N using Tapatalk I know but I have a dream! Can’t think of a better Murray replacement

Like I mentioned in that post, he had a trial with Brighton back in 2015 so the club is certainly aware of him.

We are going back there are we?
Is the shift in recruitment team revealing itself?

Its just because Brentford are signing all the Danes...

Nah but generally speaking it is easy to sign Scandinavian players. They already know the language, they are usually not from piss-poor conditions with the shock/consequences that sometimes means when you suddenly get wealthy. Just pretty easy to manage, generally speaking and unlike players from some countries, they don't have £50m added to their fees just because they've played a few games for the national team.

I think Karlsson would be a good signing. Wouldn't outcompete Mitoma or March but could play on both wings and be the perfect squad player in that sense. I predict there will be comparisons with Ali J but Karlsson is less of a one-trick pony.

Dutch league, eh? Can’t see how that could possibly go wrong.

24 years old. Hardly seems to be ripping it up in the Dutch league.

Not sure about this.

Goal or assist every 115 minutes. Not too shabby.

I agree but this is why data is really important. On the face of it doesn't seem anything special, but Mitoma was a similar age when we signed him and he had played at a lower level than this guy.

Very good record in a shit league. Ali j esque.

Like Mitoma, Caicedo, Veltman and so forth then...

 

[B-right-on]

Wrong thread

 

[Ali_rrr]

I watch the Eredivisie regularly. I don’t think he’s good enough personally and would need a lot of time to adapt

They more successful our recruitment strategy becomes, the more lazy journos and agents will link us to everyone. In most cases, I’ve never heard of them.

Clever ploy by the recruitment team chucking random names into the mix to totally bamboozle Chelski allowing us to land our real targets
