🇸🇪🤩

We are delighted to confirm the signing of Melker Widell from AaB Aalborg for an undisclosed fee.

He has signed a contract through to the end of June 2029 and will be loaned back to Aalborg for the remainder of the 2024-25 season to continue his development. pic.twitter.com/x715BIvzpk

I can’t get my head around this one.

I can’t get my head around this one.

It was either sign him now and loan him back or wait until the summer when there would be a real chance other clubs might come knocking.

Don't know much about him but seems very highly rated in Denmark and Sweden.

Hopefully come August onwards, we will understand why the club have done this.

We just have to hope he's not injured and we're not in League One.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Know nothing about this bloke. I just hope he's not yet another dud, and instead we've unearthed a Piroe/Downes/McBurnie level signing for a change.

Watch him have a storming second half of this season, and someone offer us 500k more than what we’ve paid for him and the yanks sell him

The Lord of Darkness has returned. And then gone back again.

Potentially it's a great signing. It's just sooooo not what we want or require at this moment in time.

He’s awesome. A dynamic box-to-box midfielder with a good range of passing and an eye for goal. Based on a YouTube best of video anyway. I didn’t see him put a foot wrong

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

There’s a thought. You don’t think we do all our scouting on YouTube do you? That would explain a lot.

I've now got this image of our scouting team sitting round watching "Best of YouTube videos". Perhaps that's how and why Coventry bought Grimes. They have the same scouting procedure.

Have you seen Ronald’s YouTube clips? Like an experienced international goal scorer!

YouTube is a SCAm!

I know this is a joke but would anyone rule it out?

I hope we don't do a Clive Allen with him.

Or we could have signed someone who could contribute in our forthcoming relegation scrap. If we had no other option lined up then our recruitment team have failed again.
