Stop being ridiculous. We should judge things before they happen.Quote:

Lolz.

No I'm saying the Bundesligue is sh*t and thus the team of the season over there really doesn't amout to that much. This guy also happens to be an unknown who was free and on the face of it didn't have a host of top clubs after him despite being free.Quote:

IMO it's a risky signing as we really don't know if he'll be any good, now sure he's free but he does take up squad space so if he doesn't work out we'll be stuck with him like we are with a number of players, we should be signing players who are more likely to be a success, players with a proven record at this stage.
But you can keep making up some nonsense about what I'm saying if it makes you happy :coffee:
It looks like he could be a good signing but I’ve hardly seen him play and hadn’t heard of him prior to us signing him. I don’t think you, GP or Zim have ever seen him play for Schalke so it’s too early to judge. Posting up Team of the Year doesn’t change the fact that he’s not a household name in football, but that doesn’t make him a bad signing either. It’s a grey area.Quote:

Didn’t this start with GP saying this is shaping up to be good summer, as if we’re doing something different we haven’t seen before? We’ve signed one big signing and signed a freebie.
If Kolasanic wasn’t free would we have even signed him? Was it another case of us seeing an opportunity to find quality on the cheap? He managed to run his contract down to year and bids were coming in for him last year but I haven’t seen that we were linked with a move for him last year. I’ve seen he was linked to Chelsea, Liverpool and Juve. So I question what promoted us to sign him. Was it the talent or price tag? I suspect price tag. Even with Lacazette I think the club thought they’d have to bite the bullet. We were linked with Lukaku and Morata last summer and we’ve seen the price they’ve gone for. Laca was the cheaper option out of the three.
We’ve still got a lot of work to do. Question marks even hang over Lacazette’s quality and if he’s even enough to make a difference. Personally, I think he’s a good striker but it’s a wasted signing without a better midfield supporting him. He’s not a Suarez, Sanchez type.

It'll have to be a brown paper lorry with these sorts of figures.Quote:
