I'd hope so. Think he has massive potential and with fees from Sweden often not being that high I think he would be an extremely interesting punt.Wonder if we are looking at Bergvall too.
Well, Lange left FCK for Aston Villa the same month Roony signed from Malmø FF (july 2020), so it's unclear how much of an impact he had on that. Roony's recently changed agent to CAA Base though, that is true.I may be misremembering but isn't it the case that certain members of the new recruitment setup, perhaps Lange, were responsible for bringing him to Copenhagen? He's also supposedly represented by CAA Base. Lots of connections to us if that's all true.
As you and several others have said: he is not finished article. He’s very far from being a starter in the PL for any team fighting for European qualification.Well, Lange left FCK for Aston Villa the same month Roony signed from Malmø FF (july 2020), so it's unclear how much of an impact he had on that.

One rumour doing the rounds here in Copenhagen is that he is really 21 and not 18 years old. His official age is just what was reported by his father upon entering Sweden as an immigrant, and not from an official COB. This is supposedly also why FCK somewhat surprisingly refused to release him for a youth international tournament with Sweden, where wrist-scanning where to be used to control age compliance.
While this is all speculation and unconfirmed rumours, it's obvious why FCK would like his age to stay as low as possible, since his potential sale price as an 18-year old at his current level and expected potential would be considerably higher than as an 21-year old.
No matter the above he's obviously a very talented player, but far from the finished article and is often subbed. In 17 games in the Danish league this season, he's only played a total of 939 minutes. Started 14 and subbed on in 3.
And that is the exact noise also coming out from his camp, that he's prioritising playing time and thus finding the best place to play regularly and develop further, rather than the largest pay-packet currently on offer. In that regard he favours a move to a smaller club on the continent. Wise choice really.As you and several others have said: he is not finished article. He’s very far from being a starter in the PL for any team fighting for European qualification.
He might be one day in the future, but not as of today.
The natural step would be for club in a league more competitive than the Danish one. Germany, France, or maybe Holland.
Then if he does veyr well he becomes a very expensive player. We have to take some chances on these younger playersAs you and several others have said: he is not finished article. He’s very far from being a starter in the PL for any team fighting for European qualification.

Winter break in the Danish SuperligaPhoto going around on twitter of him in London
And Johan Lange is a former FC Copenhagen-man... good contactsCAA Base Agency client..
I wouldn't rule out a Dortmund or french move for him tbh, but if Chelsea throw the kitchen sink at him I'd be surprised if he doesn't gamble on it with their new policy of offering youth 7-9 year contracts.And that is the exact noise also coming out from his camp, that he's prioritising playing time and thus finding the best place to play regularly and develop further, rather than the largest pay-packet currently on offer.

The rules have been changed that you can't spread the transfer fee over more than 5 years, so the incentive for Chelsea to offer insanely long contracts no longer is there.I wouldn't rule out a Dortmund or french move for him tbh, but if Chelsea throw the kitchen sink at him I'd be surprised if he doesn't gamble on it with their new policy of offering youth 7-9 year contracts.
I think that was mostly to circumvene FFP, which is no longer possible with the new 5-year cap on amortisation of transfer fees in the PL.I wouldn't rule out a Dortmund or french move for him tbh, but if Chelsea throw the kitchen sink at him I'd be surprised if he doesn't gamble on it with their new policy of offering youth 7-9 year contracts.
