The post brexit rules mean that the kind of European signing we make will not qualify. Not even Hamer. As a source of players Europe has been pretty crap across the piece so no great loss. Our best source is out of contract quality - Kelly, Fadz, Marosi. What good players are out of contract currently in league 1?I don't reckon we will have heard of many of the signings in the summer, unless someone has been watching all the European leagues!
All depends what league we are inThere is also a dutch center back who is 23 and out of contract at the end of the season who plays for ADO Den Haag he is a left footed Center back by the name of Shaquille Pinas

Mentioned in another thread but Max Clark, left back who’s spent the last 2 seasons at Vitesse and has just joined Hull on a contract until the end of the season. Would be free and seemingly did well over in Holland. Was being linked to some PL teams not long back.
No chance if Hull get promoted. They've got a lot of decent young players, hopefully we could nab Greaves or Lewis-Potter if they stayed in L1.Turned down Championship clubs to go back to Hull. Doubt he’d go anywhere else if they wanted him.

Gyokeres more likely than Ostigard. Wouldn't be surprised if Osti gets Bundesliga offers.Seen a lot of people mention signing Ostigard and James at the end of their contracts for next season.
Genuine question, but do we think that's likely to happen assuming we stay in the Championship?
Would love us to sign both permanently, but not sure if they'll get better offers elsewhere or extend their current contracts?

At least it’s not Big Pinas.Heard he goes by the name ‘Big Shaq’

Gabriel Gudmundsson - 21 - LB - FC Groningen
4 assists this season playing LB & LWB in Eredivisie. Can also play as a winger. Only valued at £473k on Transfermarkt so under the radar. Very good dribbling and chance creation stats. Tipped for call-up to Sweden's national squad.
Some clubs across Europe actually use TM's valuations in transfer negotiations. Yes it all comes down to how the club values them...but when a player has a relatively low valuation it can mean you're ahead of the curve on him.Transfermarkt valuations are pretty futile to be honest, as without sounding too cliche it's what clubs value their players at that matters.

Top football clubs relying on transfer valuations made by volunteers
Valuations by the football data website Transfermarkt are determined mainly by volunteers, according to an investigationwww.theguardian.com
James yes, Osti 50/50Gyokeres more likely than Ostigard. Wouldn't be surprised if Osti gets Bundesliga offers.
I’d be happy to sign James and sheaf on permanent deals.
Ostigard would be nice but unrealistic.
if Norwich go up I could see us getting Sam back again on loan which I would be happy with.
havent seen enough of Gyokores to think he is worth signing and the fact robins is starting Biamou over him speaks volumes.
Priority In summer should be:
LWB (if mccallum doesn’t come back)
Left footed centre back
A striker who can hold the ball up
An attacking midfielder/winger with pace
Odd read. Perhaps some clubs might reference it when scouting players but considering the majority of valuations are calculated by volunteers who work outside of football I highly doubt they use TM in transfer negotiations as it's just not credible.
100%
Transfermarkt is a great website for stats etc. but I don't know why their valuations are constantly churned out by the media, they're preposterous.
Exactly. Not knocking his profession at all but take the social worker referenced in the article as a case in point to why the valuations are simply not credible. What qualifications or experience does he have to be able to appropriately calculate something as complex and subjective as a player's value?
He’s not very good. Den Haag are a very poor side.There is also a dutch center back who is 23 and out of contract at the end of the season who plays for ADO Den Haag he is a left footed Center back by the name of Shaquille Pinas

100000%I wouldn’t take McCallum back. We need better.
There fans say he has been one of the few good players there for a whileHe’s not very good. Den Haag are a very poor side.
You might say the same about property but generally any old twat can do it by finding three comparables and taking an average. Footballers are pretty much the same. Finger in the air, back of a fag packet, type stuff.
Yes and no. Properties are usually valued based on what a similar property in the same area has previously sold for. There's not much else too it and there will be little room for subjectivity or nostalgia to be taken into account when calculating the guide price. This is proven by the fact that it's not often properties are sold or bought significantly over market value, whereas in football that's now part and parcel of the game.
Also, as with properties, whilst historic value of similar players factors into a footballer's valuation, there are considerably more variables to take into account - many of those being entirely subjective to the selling club. Replacement cost, market based cost, squad status, position, quality of league they're playing in, age, potential, then when you get to the bigger clubs factors such as brand and marketing value, contract length etc. Some of these are obviously measurable but you get my point.
I understand what you're saying but I think you've massively oversimplified it.
