CONFIRMED Anel Ahmedhodžić signs

[Berkshire Blade]

Find it very frustrating we are seemingly spending a big amount on one player when last year we worked on freebies and loans. Makes me think the Prince is off?!

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Could rise to 5.15m. That's a lot of money considering we're widely regarded as skint. I know the 'could' will hinge on promotions so will cover its sen, but still. Even the upfront payment is still a chunk.

Pauper prince tho pal dont forget

We’ve shifted some high earners on. That’ll have helped. Possibly performed better financially than expected over the last year too, meaning a larger budget now we’ve weathered “the storm”.

 

[sufc323]

Sky reporting could reach £5.15 Mill. We are back

 

[SufcBilly]

4 year deal it seems

 

[Bashamed]

This feels like madness. Or Egan is going

 

[Katzenjammer]

Board: So which hard-on inducing signings would you like us to make this window Paul?

Hecky: Yes...

Board: No I mean we need to discuss-

Hecky: I am.....inevitable.

 

[Mojo]

I suspect it only hits 5 mill if we are promoted

 

[Scarebus]

If? IF?

With Anel, it's when

Isn't making people think you're skint when you're not almost as good a trick as making people think you're stupid when you're not?

Why would the club ever publicise they've got money to spend? It would only serve to drive fees and salaries up.

 

[bongleblade]

Could be the latter, however, we also have needed a CB to go alongside Egan desperately since JOC got injured, If you consider that Ben Davies was most likely 1.5m in wages, £3m for a CB with much lower wages and a high ceiling of potential is a sound investment

It will be the most game changing singing in United history. Book mark this

 

[KoppedOff]

Just driven very slowly through Shirecliffe looking for Anel. Sadly, nothing. The copper who stopped me can’t have been a Blade either; when I explained what I was doing, he gave me an official caution.

 

[Flatcap]

If? IF?

With Anel, it's when

We aren't conceding with Anel, Egan and Bash at the back. 46 clean sheets. 0 goals scored. Finish on 46 points. - Survival on the cards.

If he was a left footer I'd understand more. Feels a lot to pay for a right sided centre back when we have Basham

Basham is 34 and isnt as good going forward as Anel, as i said before. Gamechanging

Tbf Loans aren’t cheap

Olsen, houranhan, MGW, Davies, Goode

Reckon we paid nearly that in fees alone for those loans and probably at least 5million in wages on top. . Pointless really as we haven’t nowt to show for it.

Basham is better than everyone going forward

Chris, is this you? is it nice in portugal

Solves the problem of how we pronounce his name, just call him Abel.

 

[LewishamBlade]

Either that or the internet is down in Lewisham at the moment

Bizarre when did I ever say we wouldn’t sign players?

With the fee we’re apparently paying, we’re almost guaranteed a profit on him too if / when we eventually sell. Very smart business from United for a change!

 

[Duffy21Blade]

I know it's easy to make an assessment of a player from some YouTube clips.. but I'm genuinely interested / excited about this signing.

He's got all the right attributes to be one of the top CBs in our division. Good stature, looks comfortable in possession, good range of passing, committed and strong. Very positive about this move (if it's confirmed)

From what I've seen, he has a very similar style to Uremovic: Aggressive as fuck and doesn't believe in lost causes. Gets my vote.

I agree, I would say he looks better because he looks to have a lot more ability on the ball. Uremovic was solid but struck me as more of an 'old-fashioned center half' - a head, kick and clear it type. Ahmedhodzic looks to be more of a modern ball playing center-back, but isn't afraid to be dogged and get stuck in either.

I suspect Hecky will be sticking with the 3-5-2 for the forseeable, and they have identified the type of CB that would have flourished in the old Wilder system.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

One of the best defenders coming out of Swedish football the last 5-10 years. Can't remember seeing someone dominate games as a central defender like he has. Excellent signing and I'd be stunned if the fee is only 3.5 millions. I thought he would go for 6-7 millions.

Why are Malmo loaning him out, selling him?

 

[Flatcap]

Why are Malmo loaning him out, selling him?

Because he turned his back on the Swedish national team and chose to represent Bosnia & Herzegovina? An unforgiving nation it appears...
