Quick Google and it suggests his current value is 2m euros so hope 11 is a typo and it's in fact 1.1

[ncfcstar 344]

Young, no idea if he's any good, but €11m sounds a lot for a player who moved for €1m a year ago.

[TheGoogler 614]

Rowe replacement.

Spending 9 million on a 20 year old winger whos only ever played in Poland and Crotia seems a bit much, but given Rowe seems to be off.. "Trust the system" etc as I imagine this will be his replacement

11 million!?

Yeah it's a lot. But given James Maddison went from being loaned to Aberdeen to being sold to Leicester for £25m in the space of a season, I wouldn't necessary agree with your second point.

Do notice the word "package". I suspect this is the full final fee. And likely with Rowe money.

4 Days ago a Bremen Fan, made a welcome to Bremen video!

Could be quite the coup.

[Bristol Canary 181]

This is the more dribble heavy striker profile that I thought we would be after to fit Thorup's system more so than Yildrim. Certainly looks like he ticks the can play out wide and as a striker versatility box the Pink'un have been saying we're after. 

Hard to know for sure but I feel more excited for this than the Yildrim signing. No idea why though ha. Looks a coup though if the rumoured Bundesliga interest in him is true this summer. Might have just timed it the signing to perfection. I'm sure any fee will be boosted by some sort of promotion bonus etc so will take €11m "package" with a pinch of salt.

Was going to say, some of the defending is a bit suspect, then remembered we had Duffy and Hanley.

Can pick a pass and strike a shot.

[Mutley 190]

It feels a little like the purchase of Christos Tzolis but it is not a €11m "package" according to Paddy Davitt, but still 'bulk of the Idah fee'.

#NCFC working on a deal for #Croatian striker Ante Crnac Not quite the €11m reported. But bulk of the Idah #CelticFC fee

If he is hungry and wants to learn then the Championship should be a level that he can excel in.

Pink Un article up, doesn't really add flesh to the bone.

Werder Breman was also trying to sign him but needed to sell before they could afford him 

as for googling transfer values they had maddison at 3m before we sold him on transfer market

Indeed - didn’t we originally sign Emi for c£1.5m, but the “package” was much more (around £6m)

[Grumpy 155]

Just like London buses,when one left footed player comes along,three more come at the same time.
 

[YellowSubmarine 43]

Very talented youngster that is more a False 9 than an out and out striker. Likes to drop in and be involved in build up around the box and has a hammer of a left foot on him. Not prolific enough yet

Him on the right cutting in, with Sargent in the centre, and Sainz on the left. I'd happily look forward to that combination terrifying defences.

I was just thinking exactly the same, Crnac would mean 5/5 of our signings are left footed so far ha.

JHT's left footed army. Has a true ring to it...

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,704]

Defo Tzolis vibes… let’s hope we’ve got this one right!

Like the sound of him though; more adept than just a striker.

Bit of a surprise spending that sort of money on a player ,

i thought Knapper would add more cheaper options but fair play just hope he turns out to be a good player

Bossed our midfield and scored at nearly 1 in 3 matches. We could all see he was a special player and worth every penny Leicester spent on him.

knapper has just upped the Ante

Looks decent from the vid (but these vids always pick highlights of course). Looks tall & strong so if he is decent in the air, he could help out with an aerial threat at set pieces which we have seriously lacked for a few seasons.

To be honest picking a pass and striking a pass is handy in any footballer never mind for the figures being bandied about for this guy 😀

[Capt. Pants 5,152]

Couldn't care less how much he costs tbh. We need to clear out those who don't want to be here but get bums on seats.

Hopefully not the last signing we make. Badly need some muscle in midfield.

We were third in league for set piece goals last season. Wouldn't say that was a glaring weakness of ours... defending set pieces though we were distinctly average.

Looks good and nice music. I'm fully on board the bandwagon. When have YouTube highlights ever failed us?
