To be fair JDS is pretty good on Football Manager, not as good as Bidwell, but really good going forward, so im assuming that is the Freiburg way of scouting.

Dortmund may come in for competition to Maatsen.JDS going Bayern Munich for £100 million replacement for Alphonso Davies
I get your point, and it is well made, but the other way of doing things is to bring in older PL players who maybe not playing regularly, and while they are proven, the issue then is motivation for such players having already played at the highest level. If i hav the choice i prefer the way we are doing it.I hope we move Dasilva on, we tried it and I personally don’t think it’s worked out. He’s pretty small and I just don’t see what particular qualities he possesses that other LBs in the league don’t also have.
There’s a lot of talk about this Burroughs bloke but I’m wary about getting another defender from a league 1 team, like is this our new model? Buy semi-decent players from league 1 and hope it works out? We’re in a cracking position to do well next season, I hope we’re aiming a lot higher than signing another geezer from Peterborough, there’s just so many other leagues out there, I’m getting a bit sick of being promised the earth with the “potential” that league 1 players can bring.

And is an upgrade on JDS and arguably Bidwell.Peterborough are going to have a queue of clubs for him they won’t be giving him away, I am not a massive McCallum fan but he fills a gap at little cost and we have more pressing areas to be spending
That’s great. But I can assure you I don’t need any granular minutiae to tell me he can’t defend. Maybe one of the dangers of the method you describe is that you can convince yourself of things that just aren’t there.Scouts drill down into the granular minutiae of a players attributes. Unlike some of our fans who just say "hes shit" if he loses a header.

Yeah I see what you mean, although I was more thinking of just continuing to look at European markets where players are probably more under the radar and therefore do offer value for money. I think because every team in the championship has a similar idea of looking at league 1 players it means those players are maybe overrated compared to the actual potential they represent.
I’m obviously not certain on that, I just look at the players that have done well for us and they’ve all come from obscure European leagues/teams, Van Ewijk, Sakamoto, Torp, Haji etc, whereas almost all of our league 1 signings have flopped.
Alright the odd one here and there might slip through the net but nearly all our European signings from this season have been miles better than our league 1 signings.You have clearly erased Hillsner & Kastaneer from your memory bank!

McCallum is perfectly capable going forward. He'd be a great signing in my view.I can see Dasilva staying as the attacking full back we put on chasing a game and McCallum as the defensive option. Would be nice to find a player who can do both like MvE, but I guess they’re pretty rare at this level.
I suspect Dasilva is here to stay now. He’s a very hard sell given his contract length.I’d personally love Burrows.
I always never wanted JDS, when we were linked to him the January before I was hoping we wouldn’t go back for him in the summer but here we are… let’s just hope we aren’t stuck with him for three more years

I am not sure that's true. I think his development has been hampered by injuries and his passing was fine when with us.It’s the reason he’s not established himself at Norwich generally from what I understand and was his weakness when he was here. His use of the ball was generally the worst part of his game.

A left-sided MvE would be the dream.I can see Dasilva staying as the attacking full back we put on chasing a game and McCallum as the defensive option. Would be nice to find a player who can do both like MvE, but I guess they’re pretty rare at this level.

But thinking about it does make the McCallum thing slightly odd. MR signed Dasilva to be attacking and has clearly not wanted to favour Bidwell for two years because he isn't as attacking. So seems if Bidwell is going he's being replaced by someone quite similar.
He's an upgrade on both. Bidwell will be moved on and Dasilva, I agree with Shmmeee, will be used when chasing games and doesn't have to do much defending.

Why are people so certain Bidwell will go? I must have missed that email.I think Bidwell will go, the Peterborough lad will come in, and it will be between him and Dasilva.
Which is a shame, I'd like it to be Bidwell and the other lad, (whoever it may be).
Because the ITK on this forum said he is one of the contracted players moving onWhy are people so certain Bidwell will go? I must have missed that email.
McCallum has impressed me when I've seen him since he left. He really came into his own too by the end of the 20/21 season. Would be happy with him coming backA left-sided MvE would be the dream.
