Skoglund deal not one that we are pursuing according to RR.
05 Jun 2026 11:21:51
As I mentioned on here the other day.
We scouted him, but moved on rather quickly to other targets as club had felt he wasn't a fit in the role.
It happens.
05 Jun 2026 11:23:54
Skoglund deal will be getting done.
05 Jun 2026 11:27:12
Disappointed if true. I like the look of him. Would be pushing to get this over the line.
05 Jun 2026 11:58:22
Just seen this. Well called WhatsTheStory if indeed Chris "The Reaper" Jack is correct.

Very disappointed not signing Skoglund, he looked a good player.
It seems like we were very active in the Scandinavian market, and now seems like all them deals are dead in the water.
Wonder is this because we didn't win the league or we have decided to just go on a different direction?
05 Jun 2026 12:33:54
We need 2 RBs, I'd be very disappointed if he wasn't one of them. Think him & Rommens at FBs would be a great start mending the defence.
05 Jun 2026 12:36:16
It's still an area of interest. Scouting over there has been extensive.
We have a few new scouts starting imminently and some will be specific in certain areas.
05 Jun 2026 12:41:28
It is a bit worrying, if true, since we've been scouting him from January, if I'm correct, & only to decide he's not what we are looking for & we need 2 RBs, cause Sterling will be injured in no time.
What exactly are we looking for? We'll not get another Tav who had high numbers of goals & assists.

Alex 84, I'm giving up on YouTube vids for judging. I do like the look of him too, but I thought Olson looked unbelievable and Chermiti's was worst ever, ha. Think main factor at us, first and foremost, isn't ability, it's having the shoulders to fit our jersey and not crumble.

Good for picking up a player's speed, strength, touch, and such things.
05 Jun 2026 13:46:41
He may just have better options for himself.
05 Jun 2026 13:56:00
I used to agree, My star, but pressure / confidence can hide ability and look like an empty jersey, sadly, as we've seen so much before recently. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be watching them haha, but I'm going to try and keep excitement and expectations to the bare minimum till they have a good few games under their belts in our shirt.

Everything re: signing Scandinavian players has gone tits up since Aph left the forum.
Could be a coincidence, then again there could be nothing in it. 🤔

Foolmonty, behave, man.

The Scandinavian players were highly sought after by other teams like Andersen going to Sporting, Dahl with Benfica, German & English clubs. We have to convince them we are right for them or pay higher wages to get them.
05 Jun 2026 14:23:34
We just need an Rb who can defend and run with the ball, I'm not looking for Tav numbers from my Rb because hopefully we are bringing in some creative forwards, just need them to defend against pacey wingers and stick a cross in every so often and most of all, for me, stop the cross!
05 Jun 2026 15:38:44
Scandinavian players are highly thought of and sought after. Perhaps, just perhaps, we're not an attractive option for the players anymore.
05 Jun 2026 16:26:58
SirStruth, think you are closer to the truth than we would all like to admit. Crap in Europe, Crap in the league, Scottish football, crap weather, what's not to like.
05 Jun 2026 16:57:30
Sadly true, Sir Struth.

I love a wind-up SamofOrange! 😂😂
