    Was looking at the goalscoring charts across Europe and came across him last month.

    Thought he'd be out our price range.

    Definitely would take him. I'd also take Venlo's captain, who is on a free next summer. Solid centre back by all accounts.

    This is it, specially for an attacking player.

    He knows what the system he is trying to play, he knows what he needs for it to work. It's looked fantastic so far. So I will entrust Ange that he knows what this player can bring to the party.


    So far we see the attacking trio move forward in unison and allows pacey crosses across the face of the goal, others to capitalise on dropped balls etc.
    So I presume the idea will be to have this guy lead that line, with Kyogo on the left, Abada or Forrest on the right and basically supplying this lad, or the lad dragging opponents away from the other two.
    If it works, then brilliant.

    I will trust the big man at this stage - so far he hasn't done anything for us to doubt his ability in the middle to front aspect of the game.

    Not impressed by any videos of him.

    Thankfully it’s Duncan Castles running with this.

    One thing I'll say is I hope he isn't the Edouard replacement. If theres a shred of truth to this.

    I've no idea who this guy is, lazy journalist effort?
    Greek player, linked to greek manager on the cheap - would be lazy journalism for sure.
    But if there is truth to Ange having made direct contact to the player, then there is something in it.

    I think with the financial constraints our environment forces on us, sometimes we have to take a gamble on situations like this. If it's not a freak season, only now will we be able to afford him. Another season is a season to late.

    Haha I'm getting confused with Venlo and Vitesse.

    Either way, sign this lad and Doekhi. Cheers, all the best.

    Problem with his wage demands apparently.. Werder no happy.. I would of thought they could match anything we offer. Saying that dropping from the Bundesliga to the second tier is a big financial blow I'd imagine

    Bremen are in dire straits financially. Had to sell massively to even out the corona loss, now they got relegated too. If things dont turn quickly for them, they might become a second Kaiserslautern. So what you wrote abojt their wages wouldnt surprise me. Sold all their best players and havent even remotely replaced any of them.

    Dunno why people are surprised this would be Edouards replacement 15mil (ish) in and spend 2.5mil or so to replace is very much the Celtic way

    There ya have it.. I'd imagine even the transfer fee might be a problem for them if that's the case mate.

    By the sounds of it this lad sounds in no rush..Transfer deadline day job I reckon

    Typical Celtic to spend £2 million less on an inferior striker who doesn't look any better than Ajeti, than stump up the money on Henry.

    Interesting.

    I think we are actively trying to punt Ajeti and Griffiths.

    Around 7 million for a Croatian international fullback and the Eredivisie top scorer would be some business..
