Young Dzagoev turned a few heads with his brace against Czech Republic, Oliveira was impressive in Portugal's defeat to Germany and Varela weren't bad as well.
Okay the examples I've used may not be realistic targets but you see what I mean, there is a lot of previously unseen talent in Europe and major tournaments like this are a great opportunity for these players to showcase their talent and impress Europe's elite clubs.
We managed to pick up a few players who impressed during the world cup 2 years ago with Winston Reid impressing as the Kiwis went unbeaten in South Africa and Barrera catching the eye for Mexico. Although Barrera has been a forgotten man, Reid has proved to be a good signing. His debut season in English football wasn't exactly one to remember, aside from his goal in the FA Cup against Burnley but I think it's fair to say given his contribution this season he's been a very good signing and lets not forget he's still young.
Now I'm not saying we should instantly snap up anyone who has a good game but it has to be worth keeping an eye out for young talent because you never know who might step up to the plate in a tournament like this.
It also appears that a deal for Yakubu is close to being finalised subject to the forward passing a medical and it appears that the signing of Jaaskelainen is imminent and it's just a case of when it's announced officially!
COME ON YOU IRONS!
