Is some Scandinavian lad that had played for Dundee for a bit and possible loan from England. Definitely signing someone next few days. Glen Kamara would be alright 🙂 Benjamin Kallman is all I can find. 23yo striker. Currently on loan in the Norwegian top tier, from a Finnish top tier side.

He's been the best outfield player on thepitch for almost every game since we lost Beni... I have been in love with his performances, have to admit, I didn't think he had it in him after all the injuries but very consistant and at times majestic 🤩😍🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats who I have found, last season (2021, there seasons follow calendar year) he was playing for his parent club Inter Turku and scored 14 goals in 27 games. He is also 23 which seems in the right age for who we go for. Has played top flight football in Scotland, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

Who have to go back to the section for his current club which loaned him out to others, to see his most recent seasons (he was on loan to norway till August 2020 where he came back and since played only for his parent club.) Since he returned from his loan he has had 18 goals in 37 games over a season and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_R Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Could the Scandinavian striker be a mix up...

It's like chinese whispers but reading comprehension based. It’s baffling. We don’t need him. We play 2 CMs, Devlin, Beni and we have Haring too. Seems pointless. Would rather sign a winger that scores goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sertse Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Something I've been wondering, are we going for the best striker we can that's available right now or waiting until summer when more are available?

BackOfTheNet Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 McCarthy? I’m sure that’s a joke. Guy’s on at least 5 figures a week and plays once every 6 or 7 games. Also about 5 years older than our target signing maximum. Let’s not even pretend it’s possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merrymac Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Batistuta87 said: Decent fix for a short term problem though. We don't need a long term project or someone to make a profit from, we just need some cover whilst Beni gets back up to fitness. It all depends on Beni's situation but some are alluding to him being out for a bit longer than originally thought. If he is out then we absolutely need someone to come in to provide some cover for Haring. I'm not interested in him as a permanent signing but if he's available on loan for the rest of the season then like I say we could do a lot worse. we have Smith who did really well in there the other week and McAneff could be used for home games when we are more on the front foot. I am sure McCarthy will cost a fair bit in wages, better spent elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it’s more possible to get someone from the Japanese league now when they are in pre-season than to try in the summer when they’re half way through their season.

Sounds half decent if not for his disappointingly poor 1 goal in 18 for Dundee. He was 19/20 at the time so every chance he's better now, and considering our recruitment is a bit more data orientated his stats must be alright (if it's a true link). Also sounds better than the spoon burners' Scandanavian import. Edited January 16, 2022 by Batistuta87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just saying that a sweeping generalisation about doubting whether we would take a player on loan from them might be a bit wrong/blinkered.

andrew Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The Finnish lad seems like a realistic signing, 23 years old, out of contract in the summer and he's scored 14 goals this season for a team that is 4th in that league. He also scored 13 in 21 for the Finnish U21's and has 1 in 2 for the national side. He only scored once while on loan at Dundee but it was the season they finished rock bottom of the league.

Unless I'm wrong and it's been brought forward because of the world cup in Qatar? Scotland's lowest qualifier (5th in the league if one of the top 4 wins the Scottish Cup, otherwise 4th in the league) will start in the conference league 2nd qualifying round, which starts on 21st July. The next lowest qualifier (4th in the league if one of the top 3 wins the Scottish Cup, otherwise 3rd in the league) will start in the conference league 3rd qualifying round, which starts on 4th August. The next lowest qualifier (3rd in the league if one of the top 3 wins the Scottish Cup, otherwise the Scottish Cup winner) will start in the europa league playoff round, which starts on 18th August. So, assuming we do qualify for Europe, we're going to have played at least one, and maybe as many as three, two-legged ties before your end of August schedule!
