International Tournament Banter Signing:

Page 3 of 4

posted on 9/6/21

I hope it's a big tournament for Gravenberch of Holland, he looks like a real prospect at Ajax at the moment, a proper "wonderkid" on FM.

There will inevitably be some forward for a minnow or lesser ranked team that ends up bagging a hat-trick or ends up towards the top end of the top scorers chart. Probably somebody for North Macedonia (Pandev) or Hungary or something.

I can see Turkey doing reasonably well and one of their players getting snapped up.

-------------------------------------------------

For sure one of them will be gobbled up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why didn't I think of that FFS

Clubs don’t really sign players based on international tournaments nowadays. Scouting is so much more sophisticated than it used to be that it’s not that relevant to making a signing. Even the players in the op were scouted - and signed in the case of the Liverpool lads - before the tournament.

Yes. I think that’s where most clubs get their scouting databases from.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu will score some free kicks and everyone will lose their shiiit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Liverpool have been linked to him and we have form!

Top of my head Diouf, Diao, Cisse (who I liked), Baros maybe?? Origi. LFC love a tourney signing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i thought baros was with us when he had the good tourney?

BBC Football did a piece on the potential on show.

Best of the bunch sounded like Sevilles French CB Kounde, and Rennes Belgian winger Doku.

Article? Have you got a link please? I like stuff like that.

Yeah I didnt check it clearly cos a couple have said we'd already sign Diouf and Diao but I thought it was during/after.

That was the New zidane Cheyrou summer wasn't it?

And the time when Liverpool bought Berger and United bought Poborsky. Fergie signed the wrong Czech

Berger

Absolute hammer of a left foot that lad.

yeah we signed all 3 of them for around 20m? at the time a good amount of money and transfer budget, after refusing to make the anelka loan permanent, i think that was the same season anyway

diao had a good tourn for senegal as did diouf, cheyrou i dont think even played much football and was being compared to zidane he played nothing alike, he didnt even have any skill did he ? i think in the end he may have had the same balding pattern, thats about it?

posted on 9/6/21

I think his brother ended up having a better career in the end.

Ahhh the Bernard Diomede and Sean Dundee days.

who were those two brazillians utd signed, djemba djemba and kleberson?

posted on 9/6/21

Kleberson could play a bit. Anderson was the other. He had talent too but he got unreal stick.

posted on 9/6/21

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he was "delighted" to have secured the Brazilian's signature.

"He is a young, athletic midfield player who can play in a number of positions.

"One of the reasons we sold Seba Veron was because we knew we were getting Kleberson - that shows how highly we regard his talent."

6m back in 03 when they signed ronaldo for 12m

If you gave him a stick he'd probably have eaten it

It's probably been said already, but Gravenberch. With van de Beek out he should get plenty of game time.

I brought up Gravenberch. A real talent is that lad, was impressed with the times he played against Liverpool in the CL.
