Interesting signing lets hope he brings more hunger to the team!

Well, let's give him a try. He's not what we need IMO, but well..

It's anything but an interesting signing. Spent the last four years at Genoa and was close to signing for Bursaspor. Mediocre player. But besides that, the type of player we didn't need at all.

I'm not complaining, he may turn out as a good signing

He certainly can play, being a Slovakian International and he has a good shot on him.

But I'm still hoping we sign Axel Witsel

We'll see.

Who?

Last night i watched the first half. Heard he played in the second half. He any good?

Not really.

That about sums him up. Wasn't awful but he looked and played like a 3M signing from Genoa.

Well, not that I expect him to excel or anything but you gotta give him some time. He only joined us a couple of hours ago, surely he couldn't have connected well with the rest of our midfield.

That being said, he looked as expected, average. Made a couple of wrong passes, less then Nocerino, but well...

I can't believe we signed somebody who was going to join a second rate Turkish club and that tomorrow he's going to start in the derby. It's a new low for this club.

Well,...

I still think Poli is the obvious better pick.

Totally. I'd even try Jose Mauri for that matter.

Galliani probably knew he wasn't going to be able to sign Witsel or even Soriano (!!) so this is his usual panic buy/just getting someone for the sake of it just to say to the fans that you did

Bumped.

Did really well.. Has a lot of flaws as a player. But considering the market prices these days 3 million was an absolute steal.

Meh, don't really like him. He does one thing right and follows it up by 10 bad things. I'm just so over having mediocre players in our midfield.

Moved, Joined Trabzonspor. Good luck Kucka.

Bingo. Screw him. 3M and we got what we paid for. Not interested in how this clown does. Bye.

Could have been a sub for Kessie, actually.

We needed to make sales and he was one of the few that could net us some money.

That being said, he's been awful for a while now, the fact that we made a profit on what we initially paid is still astonishing to me

That was genius. Ditto breaking even on Lapa.

We actually made a profit there as well, since we brought him in for 10m and are selling him for a total of 13m

Thought we got him for 7M?

No, it was more. Around 10-12.

So we basically made a 4m profit on him. And no matter what, I think he was a great person to have on the team last season, always positive, always wanted to fight for the shirt and scored some clutch goals for us as well
