Filip Helander signs 4 year deal now Confirmed

[BattlefieldBlue]

5 million? Mental fee

 

[Big Buff]

Sorry to slightly change off topic, but wonder if he has a Swedish Mrs and what shes like

Just checked:

Girlfriend N/A

 

[tazzabear]

That should keep the not spending money brigade quiet for a minute

Aaaaay, let me think.
Aw naw, I wanted Katic to start.
Aw naw, Goldson and Katic had started the season well.
Aw naw, that means less chance for Mayo.
We don’t care about developing the youth.

 

[Kimarcus]

Surely our No Pirlo No Party hosts can tell us about him?

It’s not off topic, it’s the natural evolution of the thread! 2 or 3 pages from now Ryan Jack will be getting pelters!

 

[mck1872]

That'll be Katic dropped to the bench again.

Never heard of the guy but I'm surprised we're spending so much on a defender tbh.

Gerrard said we hoped to have another 60 game season, do u want katic to play in all 60? We need 4 centre backs of quality, not just 2. Katic won’t be dropped he can’t play every single game mate

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

be absolutely amazed if we spend anywhere near that on a centre half

Was a regular for Bologna until January when he seemed to fall out of favour.

Got back in the team near the end of the season.

Now a 1st pick for Sweden.

5 million? Mental fee

why do you say that, Swedish International, Playing in Serie A....? I actually think it is below the going rate.

[Stanley Yelnats]

I know a few mentally challengeds who have said he’s a very good player and would be a decent signing.

So if thats what they’re saying he must be alright.

 

[strider]

That'll be Katic dropped to the bench again.

The move for Mexer showed that the management team wanted another very good centre half in.

Katic will play plenty this season regardless.

 

[Bobby_Dazzler]

Whelming

 

[StuGers]

There can be only one.

Very cool defender, never loses the head.

 

[tazzabear]

Sorry to slightly change off topic, but wonder if he has a Swedish Mrs and what shes like

Important stuff, bud.
Priorities, like it.

We’re a wee bit tired of Ms Lang and Ms Polster.
We need new faces, new bodies.

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

People surprised about the outlay.

There was money prioritised for a CB.

However if we want Roofe etc then we will need to offload but there was always a significant amount set aside for a left sided CB.

 

[BuffaloSoldier19]

Excited as %^*&.

Are we looking at a back three? Just this clamour for a left-sided centre half has me wondering. Certainly gives us that option anyway.

 

[imvaison]

What’s not to like about this rumour? Maybe just the price, but if he’s worth it then so be it.
Wonder why Bologna felt the need to sign two new central defenders if they already had this guy in place?

 

[tazzabear]

Whelming

And then some.

 

[BattlefieldBlue]

why do you say that, Swedish International, Playing in Serie A....? I actually think it is below the going rate.

Don’t deny it’s the going rate, just a hefty fee when it seems we have 3 decent defenders already.

I’ll definitely welcome it though.

 

[Dickens Cider]

Again I know it could be twitter gibberish but seen he was a top target for Newcastle in the January window, and if Benitez had stayed he was a target for them in the summer. Sounds a promising move by all accounts

Rafa mibbe putting Gerrard onto him

You speak for yourself there mate.

 

[MaidaValeBear]

I’ve never heard of this bloke but I already know he’s the greatest Swedish player of all time. Hope it’s true

 

[tazzabear]

That's already started near the end of the first page of this thread.

I seen that, and the other two will be along soon enough.

 

[Mark Walters]

That'll be Katic dropped to the bench again.

If we go as far as we hope in Europe we'll play about 60 fixtures. He'll get plenty of game time.

 

[Guyzer34]

Possibly mate, hope so. Big outlay for the club. See Bologna signed another CB there, Japanese I think so that's what's maybe moved this deal on

Not what it reads like.

I guess he didn't fit in well to their set up.

We need as many good players as possible.. Worrall and Katic had spells last season where they were poor. Goldson from March onwards had an absolute nightmare.

If we kept it tight last season we would've won that league.

Like, like, like and like.
Oh, and the girls look not bad either.

 

[Div1872]

Looks a unit and a natural LCB is what the gaffer wanted so hope this rumour is true and we get the deal done if he’s a target

Will send a message out if we pay that kind of fee for a CB

 

[tazzabear]

Feck of, shagger, your times up.
There’s a new kid in town.
You can still be the goalie though.

 

[Empire]

We 100% need a top quality centre back. Every single one of our modern day teams that have been successful have had one.

Goldson and Katic are decent but I still think they are not close to the likes of Cuellar, Bougherra, Amo, Moore, Boumsong, Weir etc.

 

[Liviger1984]

Swedish??? Get the pictures of his bird up!!

 

[ICA_86]

Think we should let Allen, King and Gerrard worry about the finances, don’t you?

 

[sregnar]

I still think Gerrard wants to try 352 again

Yup.

Tampons will be pulled out at the prospect of Katic or Goldson being benched, but it’s all about constant improvement everywhere.

 

[giogaddi]

Wow. Would be stunned if we pulled this off. He's a brilliant player.

 

[pandager1]

Barisic - Helander - Goldson - Tavernier

is a slight improvement in two years on

John - Martin - Bates - Tavernier

 

[Bigcol]

I really don’t get the panty wetting brigade.If we got quality players on bosmans or development fees I’d call that shrewd business sense.Id be more worried if we were going out and spunking £20 million and put us back in the shite.

 

[Bluebrox]

I prefer men.

 

[Neilston Unionist]

Will be a shame to see Katic dropped as in my opinion Katic is better than Goldson but at the same time on paper, this guy seems like the type of signing that will take us up a notch no matter who he replaces at CB.

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

Hopefully as good as our last Swedish centre back from the Serie A.

 

[ca100]

A higher fee than i expected us to pay for one player to be honest. Was going through a few wyscout videos there and he certainly looks decent. A big unit as well.

He'd need to shave that beard though....
