Think he might come at the back later on? 😜

I assume there wouldn't be a work permit issue for Anagram either seen as he's played in England and France already?

Chelsea were being linked with him 12/18 month ago

Yeah, but 12/18 months is a loooong time in football. No sign of current interest by top flight clubs as far as a quick Google can find.

You’re correct.

Berget is not really a winger. I'd say he's a versatile attacking midfielder. Good on the ball, knows where the goal stands. Not the quickest or strongest. He was at Udinese earlier in his career as well, so talented but known to be a bit of a Bohemian.

Am I the only one who thinks Berget could do a job for us as an attacking midfielder?

Further - looking at his wiki I really can't see why he would be out of our league? Only 15 appearences for Bordeaux, who are not a major force in France (as evidenced by their relegation), no sign of Prem, La Liga, Serie A interest etc.

Seems very doable?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anel_Ahmedhodžić

He was only a late Jan loan, so he did play 93% of Bordeaux's minutes after joining.

I was unaware that previously playing in England could mean the GBE points calculation doesn't apply to him? But he well-qualified in any case given a combo of Ligue 1 minutes and continental minutes (plus winning the Swedish league with Malmo helps a bit).

Certainly an intriguing option. Let's see...

While I'm at it, Berget also qualifies, largely due to Champions League minutes. So, something to look out for in terms of the eligibility of potential Scandi links is whether their team played in the Champions League (or Europa...)*, which would also likely mean league positioning points, even if the Allsvenskan, etc. don't get a lot of points weighting.

*Edit: as I look at it a bit more, that's for if they made it to the group stage in one of those tournaments. Hence, poaching players from Malmo FF after they made it to the CL group stage shouldn't be an issue. Only a couple points available if you play a lot of Europa Conference minutes...

Highlight reel to chew on with these slow news days. The lad loves a sliding tackle.

 

Proper defending- body on the line stuff . Love it 😍 

[TimmyJimmy]

The reel of Ahmedhodzic is all a bit fire brigade action. Loads of sliding tackles which Championship forwards will dive from.

Coupled with nothing on his distribution capabilities, holding a line, stepping up for offside and headed clearances I'm not sure he's configured for the championship.

But what do I know. If JDT has worked with him and has confidence in him then, if he's a reasonable cost, I guess he's useful to the squad.

Would like to see more from him though and not just last ditch tackles and putting fires out.

Agree, they don’t tend to make many videos about Swedish league defenders playing the offside trap or passing though to be fair 🤣

Don't think that'd make a very exciting youtube video tbf

Will the rest of the Championship be fearing the beard next season?

[Beanie01289]

Would be good moves players we can bring in with no permit issues due to their past connections to the UK. Maybe we do have a bit if a budget some of the zeefuick money going to

My main question would be: Is he a leader ?

Would bergets past with Cardiff not help with his permit

Only highlights but looks to have good instinct and composure. Almost Dack-esque.

Seems like a 2+2 assumption based on them being at Malmo but lets wait and see.

The link comes from Swedish Journalist. So would hope there is some foundation to this story.

He would walk it actually. 38 points he would get.

A Swedish journalist who could have easily put 2 and 2 together. Or are Scandinavian journalists renowned for 100% accuracy?

The quality of names we're been linked with is is certainly refreshing, would be suprised if we got him in though.

Also don't see us moving for a 31 year old winger.

We will see, we started with Farke and ended up with JDT. Not saying JDT is not a nice change but he's not in the same bracket as Farke.
