West Ham have decided to cut their costs on player transfers and have sent the scouting staff all over Scandinavia.
As of previous reports, we’ve already been in Denmark viewing both Lucas Høgsberg and Franculino Dju, following these, we’ve decided to view Sweden as well as Norway regarding future targets for the summer.
Perhaps we’re looking for the next Isak! Who not to mention, we lost on the ‘first’ one from Real Sociedad after refusing to match Newcastle’s fee.
We’ve been exploring many options all over, and unsurprisingly, we’ve landed in Scandinavia, which is most likely due to a multitude of reasons. Players won’t cost significant transfer fees which explains itself, but Potter kickstarted his career back in the Swedish leagues so he definitely has an understanding along with the backroom staff of what talent can possibly be found there.
Looking for cheap young talent from international leagues… where have we seen that before!
Another target we’ve also been monitoring is Icelandic international midfielder Arnar Haraldsson from LOSC Lille, who joined two summers ago from FC Copenhagen for €15,000,000.
More targets are to be found as time passes, but Lucas looks to be a potential replacement for Vlad and Franculino for Ings. Both would significantly reduce the wage bill, that’s for sure! The imminent Ingy removal saves us £6,500,000 per year, so Sully’s smile is bigger than ever.
These players aren’t the primary ‘go to’ targets but more so one of many that the club are monitoring for the overhaul that is expected to happen. Let’s hope the scouts are being sent out for players and not holidays, another Brazilian fiasco isn’t needed this window.

Its a Brit thing
You go to a lot of European countries and look at the young generations out there and see slim, fit healthy looking young men and women, proud of their appearances, parents keeping them in check, eating healthily, exercising and enjoying life.
Then you look at obese Brit kids waddling down High Streets with parents in jog bottoms heading for the nearest MacDonalds for brekkies or dinners, vapes or fags close to hand before waddling off back home to Playstation 5 or whatever is called nowadays waiting for their latest benefit handout. When was the last time you saw a park full of kids with a football with jumpers for goalposts?
It's not just Scandinavia, Africa is a boom target for young, aspiring and HUNGRY to succeed kids too
Have to say Deluded, as the
Have to say Deluded, as the warmer weather approaches. Tis the season of the vest and three quarter shorts in best nylon. Usually seen waddling out of ASDA. All the women are men, all the men have tattoos on there legs (why)? All heading for Greggs for a sausage roll or 5..
It's a drain on society!!

I remember Potter having started managing in Scandinavia. Maybe it's his idea
