jeagle 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Surely means one or more of our current midfielders will be leaving.Interesting times as the ''budget'' is clearly there and Webber is looking to get the best use of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icecream Snow 761 Posted June 8, 2017 Sounds like the Dorrans replacement. Takes freekicks and corners. 750K euro appears to be his buyout clause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted June 8, 2017 Part of teams that finished bottom of the bundesliga twice out of the last three seasons. Another relegation specialist?28 years old.... replacement for Howson?Doesn''t fill me with confidence this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted June 8, 2017 Maybe the club is trying a new policy of getting in the replacement before letting a player go - unlike us, I know, but it might just work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted June 8, 2017 The new manager knows him and he was a bright spark in the Darmstadt team... Please let''s not start critisising before we''ve seen him play...Dorrans is off, so I reckon this is a good move... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted June 8, 2017 I seem to have a certain blind faith in any prospective signing by the new regime.Quite unrealistic, especially as there is no track record to go on but understandable after having regular lolly-pops at most of AN''s signings.Would this chap be a no nonsense defensive midfielder by any chance? Just guessing, yet to resort to Wiki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted June 8, 2017 Bethnal speaks highly of him......... Bethnal Y and G @BethnalYG 1h1 hour ago Mario Vrancic? Yes fucking please. Wonderful player. Bethnal Y and G @BethnalYG 1h1 hour ago Vrancic was hyped up a lot a few years ago, never really happened for him though. Wand of a left foot. Hard worker and creates A LOT. Bethnal Y and G @BethnalYG 1h1 hour ago I know people hate stats, but Vrancic had the 5th highest key passes per game in Bundesliga, for the team that came bottom.Sounds exciting.

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted June 8, 2017 There are quotes from him from somewhere now saying he''s signed a 3 year deal with us. Also says that he had two Bundesliga offers and an offer from Huddersfield but we offered the "best conditions" along with (although the translation is ropey) farke being insistent he came and selling the proposed style of play/ambition to him.This seems like a promising signing.

hogesar 9,618 Posted June 8, 2017 Be good if true. And equally a little funny if Huddersfield lost out on him, to us, baring in mind their resentment when Webber came to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted June 8, 2017 All about faith again, let''s hope this is all going to work out and our recruitment is going to go from dissapointing to outstanding🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted June 8, 2017 Encouraging we are getting deals done and indicative that the old guard will be leaving in the coming weeks.Now - how about a CB for the 3 season long problematic defence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thas a rummun 2 Posted June 8, 2017 [quote user="lincoln canary"]Part of teams that finished bottom of the bundesliga twice out of the last three seasons. Another relegation specialist?[/quote]I heard Wes Hoolahan was also part of a team which was relegated twice in three seasons. It means nothing. Vrancic could have been the one shining light in those teams.Affordable, Farke will have seen plenty of him, and plays in a position where we may well lose the majority of last seasons squad members. Exactly the sort of signings we should be making during a squad overhaul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I fail to see the point of is worrying that we may have signed a dud due to the relegations this player has been involved in, when in todays climate buying a top-flight player from a major European league for around the 750k-1.5m is pretty much a risk-free purchase. If we make half a dozen signings like this, yes they may not all work out, but we give ourselves a great opportunity to head in a new direction without the crazy Wildschut-style expensive signings.

And equally a little funny if Huddersfield lost out on him, to us, baring in mind their resentment when Webber came to us.[/quote]What "resentment"? Maybe "disappointment" would be more accurate? Is there any actual reason to think Huddersfield were anything but straight up and thoroughly professional in their handling of our approach for Webber? Webber is on record as saying that he sought Wagner''s opinion on Farke; would he have done that if relations between them were broken? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,618 Posted June 8, 2017 sorry westcoast, maybe I didn''t make myself clear.
