Adam Hlozek the latest player to be linked to us. Apparently we watched him play for Sparta Prague in the CL qualifiers on Tuesday.

{Ed002's Note - He was watched last season. Adam Hlozek (S) has been scouted by RBL, Milan, Liverpool, Dortmund, Arsenal and others but has a desire to move to West Ham where Soucek, who he shares an agent with, plays. Has made clear that he will want assurances of game time.}

Cheers Ed. When you say 'assurances of game time', are we talking a starting place, or are we just talking minutes on the pitch? I can't see him getting into the side ahead of Bobby but I can't see why he couldn't get reasonable game time off the bench and in cup competitions.

{Ed002's Note - It is difficult to buy players who are already starters and expect them to accept a couple of league cup games and time on the bench.}

I think there maybe some surprises if the mumblings of the club being aware of quite a few players coming into their 30s. As fans we don't want to see the likes salah, firmino, mane, thiago, hendo, VVD etc coming into that age bracket the club will have to start thinking ahead. There is some younger players come through like elliot at least that will hopefully get a chance.

what i don't get is loads of players at city do it, jota came last season and played loads when fit. mahrez has been a bench player bar half of last season, laporte is now bench, jesus has always been bench. ferran torres, bernardo silva and cancelo all bench players.

Looks like a real talent this kid, started 33 of SP games last season at just 17. There's a good write-up on him on the website/ magazine - Scouted Football.

Nath players are sometimes more accepting of bit part roles if they are winning trophies.
