QPR WANT NORWEGIAN FUTURE STAR
According to news outlets in Norway, QPR are interested in signing Tromso striker Lasse Nordas. Lasse is only 22 yet has heavily impressed during his career in Norway so far. He has featured for the Norway U21s on several occasions netting 3.
This season, he has 13 goal contributions within 28 games in the Eliteserien. He also netted 2 goals within the UECL qualifiers.
Valued at £1.5million, QPR are not the only club interested.
What's that Lasse? Someone's fallen down a well and you haven't scored a goal in 4 games?

Lasse Nordas, remember him? First name on this thread is signing for Luton |
Luton can sign as many players as they like, they're still staring down the barrel of a double relegation |  | | |

Google Translate has that final sentence as:
"Flu kept 40% of the player's rights."
...is that either a whopper of a sell-on clause...or a Faurlin (Mascherano / Tevez) dodgy dual ownership scenario!? |  |

Esquerdinha
Sounds like more of a sell on clause rather than a than a Faurlin situation. Huge percentage of true.

Leftist Farewell
Fluminense completed the sale of left-back Esquerdinha to Queens Park Rangers (QPR), in England, for 600 thousand euros (approximately R$3.5 million at current prices) for 60% of the player's rights.
At 18 years old, the young Xerém graduate said goodbye to the Laranjeiras club in an emotional post on social media. “Every kid who grows up playing football tries to find a club that opens its doors and believes in their dream. That place, for me, was Fluminense (…)
(…) My home for half my life. Here I grew as a person, made my dreams come true and built memories that will be forever kept with affection and gratitude in my heart.
(…) I thank God, my family and every member of the board, athlete and employee who surrounded me for an incredible nine years, honoring the institution and its passionate fans, who embraced me from the first moment. Together, without a doubt, we write unforgettable stories.
The time to leave is difficult, but I leave proud of the boy who, at some point, lost the sparkle in his eyes when defending the Warrior Team. A happiness that no Moleque de Xerém, like me, is capable of forgetting. Thank you, Fluzão! Thank you very much!" wrote the player.
With the transfer, Esquerdinha will continue his career in English football, playing for Queens Park Rangers, a club that competes in the Championship, the second division of English football. Fluminense maintains 40% of the athlete's economic rights, being able to profit from a future sale.
Fluminense faces Boavista in the Carioca Championship
On the other hand, Fluminense continues its focus on the Carioca Championship. After being defeated by Botafogo, last Wednesday (29), Mano Menezes' team tries to recover against Boavista.
The Fluminense team returns to the pitch this Sunday (2), for the seventh round of the Carioca Championship. The match will take place at 9pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. |  | | |

Indiscipline and pressure from Esquerdinha's staff motivated sale to England
"Esquerdinha had that opportunity last year in the Libertadores, he ended up failing. Then he stayed there for a while out of the team, even to preserve the athlete. Okay, he didn't have another chance. This year he starts competing, being part of the group that started the Carioca Championship. And at first he is out, he becomes Rafael Monteiro's backup, when the expectation was the opposite. That he would be a starter. If I'm not mistaken, before or after the second game (of the season), Esquerdinha even made a post on social media. Kind of complaining that he was being Rafael Monteiro's backup. This is no longer bad internally at the club. And then when the groups came together, in the pre-season, group 1 and group 2, that is, the main group took the reins from then on, including the coaching staff of the first team. Then there was the joining of groups of players who would not be part of the first team at first. Those who are from Xerém, would return to Xerém, the overage players would be negotiated and loaned like João Neto, for example, who was announced yesterday by Portimonense, from Portugal, that he is no longer old enough to vote in the U-20. Another thing, we will not have a Brazilian championship for aspirants (under-23). The CBF will not hold the edition of the tournament. You have to negotiate this or the guy will stay leaning there. Esquerdinha is 18 years old, that is, he is old enough to return to Xerém and play at the base.
"What did Fluminense do? She informed him that he would return to Xerém. Because at first I would no longer train with the main group. Behold, Esquerdinha refused to return to Xerém. He did not accept to return to Xerém. And just like his staff, he said he wouldn't go back there. And there were at least two or three activities missing, three training sessions, at least. In other words, he committed an obviously serious act of indiscipline. Fluminense, obviously, took action to resolve the situation. And the player's staff said, if he doesn't play professionally, he'll play somewhere else. Because for Xerém, he will not return. And then, the information that we found out from the Jornada team. Me, Cauã Tinoco and Gabriel Amaral. Cauã arrived with this information, I confirmed it, I'm adding others. Yesterday we, finally, Cauã brought me some news, we ran after it to confirm and to find out. And then, the businessmen put Fluminense on the wall. They even threatened to make a legal maneuver to remove Esquerdinha from Fluminense.
"In view of this and other disciplinary problems that Esquerdinha had already presented, the player's staff arrived with this proposal from Queens Park Rangers that Gabriel Amaral then determined the values: 600 thousand euros for 60% of the player. Fluminense took 40% of Esquerdinha and received about 3.5 million reais to make this negotiation. If he works out there, Fluminense has 40% in a future sale. The club understands that it has to make this decision because there would be no other solution - concluded Lessa. |  |

I actually disagree. He would fit the formation and tactics very well.
In our 4141, it is all made to work by Morgan and Field being the middle of that “4” and having to get up into the box and out wide to support the winger, and back to protect alongside Varane. Morgan is slightly pushed up, hence it being asymmetrical, and Field is a little deeper so does more protecting. Both those get about the pitch and help close down the oppo quickly.
Luongo’s strengths were tackling and running. He was top of the league one year for tackles made. He would suit the system well as cover/competing with Field and Morgan. The bloke has also been a starter at this level with a team who won promotion. Only player in our squad who can say that is Cook. And look at the impact he has had.
HOWEVER, big point here, what is the point of signing him unless we can sign permanently within our wage structure (unlikely)? Even if that is possible, he is 33 at the start of next season. Would he be a starter? Ahead of Morgan or Field? Not sure. Would he be useful. Potentially, as an experienced head to replace Colback on lower wages, maybe. But as Nourry has said himself, we should really only be signing players on loan who will be under contract here thereafter. |  | | |

Sounds like he is going to need Marti’s skills in team building and making everyone feel special. Can’t believe he comes in as 1st choice left back yet until next season. Maybe we don’t need a squad of Mr Nice Guys? Doesn’t sound like a typical Nourry choice. So if he and Vale get announced today our left side suddenly is awash | | | |

On the subject of Vale it’s still a wall of silence! According to those ITK he’s already signed apparently it’s supposed to have been on X and Sport Mail but nothing on the official website. |  | | |

I think Nump meant the recruitment model, not a tactical one or Nourry's 'game model'.
Spending a sizeable amount on wages on a 32 year old with no sell-on value and blocking game time for younger players' development is the opposite of the recruitment model and makes little to no sense. |  | | |

He seems like a bit of a 'punt' - hopefully I'm still spelling that right in a year or two.
Looks seriously dynamic in that highlights vid and will need all of Marti and Xavi's skills. Am guessing they both have some Portuguese or they wouldn't even be trying shirley? |  | | |

Agree. That was what my last paragraph was calling out.
However, our game model/recruitment strategy should not just exclude signing any experienced pros. We know what can go wrong with a load of young ballers and no experienced physicality in the side.
If we let Colback go at the end of the year, and if we also let Cook walk we would need to sign some players in their 30s who are strong at the physical side of things, the game management, and who are leaders.
Just running with kids under 24 could be a disaster. | | | |

I agree. I guess we'll find out of Nourry does over the next six months.
Lassel seems to think both Cook and Colback have player options for next year by the way. If true I'd be amazed if they both don't take them up. | | | |

My understanding was we have the 3rd year option on Colback, and Cook’s was just a 2yr deal to begin with.
If they have options it was a stupid contract since we loaded their yr 2 salaries to make them cheaper in year 1, to make FFP. If the 3rd year is on the 2nd year’s terms, we have made a rod for our back.
FWIW, I would extend Cook. I think he’s invaluable. But I certainly would not renew Colback. We have to be able to find better 3+ years younger…and he’s a back up anyway. | | | |

If there are any options, they'll be on the club's side, not the players.
IMO, Cook should get a 1 year deal but let Colback go. |  |

Cook and Colback's contracts were both to 2025 with an option for a further year. It was lassel who said the further year option was on the players' side. I agree with derby that the option will be on the club's side and I don't think an option on the player's side is even a thing.
Agree with you on Cook staying and Colback going. |  | | |
