City penguin 0 Posted June 15, 2013 Massive signing for them, only 23 and played 17 times for Croatia, fee of £6.8m apparently, think they will be splashing silly money this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,070 Posted June 15, 2013 Last year they paid £12 million for Gaston Ramirez so I really don''t see what is so massive for them signing a player for half of that amount in all honesty. Some might also consider £12 million as " splashing silly money " City penguin for a club in their first season back in the Premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City penguin 0 Posted June 15, 2013 The bloke is class, that''s why he will be a massive signing. They must be paying outrageous money as he really should be playing for a team qualifying for European football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
im spartacus canary 0 Posted June 15, 2013 i''ve had enough of this !!!! why aren''t we signing players like him?

king canary 6,409 Posted June 15, 2013 Can''t say I''m particualrly jealous about this one for two reasons...1) We don''t need to spend £7m on a CB this summer, that money can go elsewhere.2) I''m not sure he is actually that good- here are a selection of tweets from Croatian football Journalist Alex Holiga about him-"Hot damn! Southampton paid... what for Lovren?""He has become something of a laughing stock in Lyon. 4th choice CB for Croatia - and not that the first 3 are great...""Reacts bad under pressure, blanks out during the game, makes a lot of unnecessary fouls, misplaces passes for no reason...""Ask any Lyon fan and see what they''ll tell you. L''Equipe named him ''worst player of the week'' in the league 3 times this season. 3 times." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted June 15, 2013 I''d rather have Bassong for the reported £3.5m we got him. I''m happy with the club paying value for money & building a side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
