    In your description of our back line, was the word 'quality' an intentional omission?

    I think we all are after reading most of our Croatian friends opinions on him. Time will tell.

    Dont even think they've bothered to do a recap of Scotland yet. Still hearing about non-transfers in England mind you. And fancy stats about players they already know about, who didnt transfer.

    I know I should be elated and excited that we've brought in a young CB, but for some reason I'm not. Fee seems to range from £3m - £5m. For a reserve CB, £3m seems a lot but £5m ....... We don't spend that amount on a player unless he comes with a written guarantee and from the reports, this Lad doesn't come with one.

    It has the feeling of a panic buy. You know, like Peter/Ronny getting together, talking about the gap Virgil will leave and deciding,
    1. We need a CB.
    2. We need a major fee to show we can spend.
    3. Ronny saying he doesn't want someone in then saying he wants to move to EPL leaving in 12/24 months.

    Jeez, hope this kid is the real deal, but the thought of him up against Van Persie doesn't inspire me one bit.

    Makes a change. Usually we sign players that are hyped up to *....then they flop.
    Maybe this guy will surprise us. Well, everyone is saying he is *, so, no pressure kid. Good luck anyway.

    Ambrose and Boyata are both right sided CB's... I think it's a straight fight between Mulgrew and Simunovic for the left sided CB spot.

    This guy better hit the ground running like Usain Bolt because if he doesn't our defence is in some state.

    Janko Ambrose Boyata Blackett

    Doesn't even bear thinking about against any of the 3 European opponents.

    In not going to jump on the bandwagon and start skating him before I even watch him play. Can't help but think that if he was that highly rated then bilic would have bought him to West Ham

    I like Janko, particularly offensively, but as a unit that is about as inexperienced, shaky and potentially disorganised as you could possibly hope for.

    Janko Ambrose Boyata Blackett

    That would get ripped apart by Ajax and Fenerbahce. I'm hoping we'll see:

    Lustig Boyata Simunovic Izaguirre

    and hopefully Blackett proves to be a good CB or LB and he can eventually become first choice in one of those positions.

    Yes. If we use our current shape and tactics.

    Considering how settled and strong our back line was last season we really need Simunovic to come in and be dominant very quickly. Wonder will he start straight away when we return against Aberdeen. That will be some test for him if he does and for Boyata alongside him.

    Does anyone know what the fee actually is yet? I heard that the 5 million fee is transfer +wages, so £3 million fee, and 10k a week over 4 years
