    Far too many "projects" in our team, the balance is way off.

    Possible back four of Blackett, jozo, boyata, janko, I'm all for youth if they're good enough but surely you need some experiance too, need to find the correct balance.

    ...that's like my back 4 in Football Manager when i'm at home to Montrose in the 3rd round of the Diddy Cup...because my actual decent players deserve a rest....

    I see Fulham have bid around £2.5mil for that Sviatchenko fella we were linked with, surely he would be a more sensible option?

    well now...sorry for actually learning english in school and sorry for watching tons of english movies without subtitles. But I'm flattered...i guess?

    i really dont see the point of someone making up lies about this, why would i waste my time typing cr*p...and you can easily check most of the things i wrote!
    Look...you don't have to believe me...just look at the amount of goals and points Dinamo acquired during the last 10 years, with and without Šimunović... the only reason our league is 16th in Europe is because of Platinis special treatment for league champions and we have an easy way to get to Europe and score league points (HNK Rijeka helped with that one last year, they were mental in the group stage and almost pushed through).
    Our league is really really bad and you can easily fake a good player, especially when you have Mamić that is a * good businessman (even tho very much hated cause he really does steal a lot of money).

    I really do think Šimunović is bad at the moment, but there are some sparks of potential in him so who knows?? remember, he is only 21.

    What I heard is that he's fast and good in the air, but needs to work on physical strength and positioning. Does that sound about right?

    So basically, everyone who has seen him play says he is no good, whilst those who haven't are saying "let's hope for the best".

    It's really deflating that this is where we're at with the transfer window closing tomorrow.

    If we sign him and he turns out to be * then we will know that how we scout players needs to change big time, we just cant let them forget about it

    They scout thousands of players, but buy only a few. Mamić, the owner of Dinamo, is very good at making bad players look good. Just because of Modrić, Kovačić and Eduardo, he trumpets every player to be as good as them. In reality, the current players at Dinamo are average at best.

    This guy played against us last year so we know him from then. Our scouts and Ronny must see something in him

    Very true.

    We need about 2-3 additional players who are 28-32.

    Players like Barry Robson and Hartley were signed for the exact reason and changed our team completely.

    The squad is far too inexperienced and as you say is too unbalanced in that respect

    he is very fast for his height...i wouldnt say he is great in the air, but thats because i think the lack of experience is holding him back.
    his physical strength was never an issue here, but i must repeat - he hardly had a challenge in our league.

    his positioning is dreadful, the amount of goals we received from free kicks and corners is too * high.

    also, there's one more thing i forgot to mention that is a mitigating circumstance for him (yes, i googled mitigating.) - his teammates in defence.
    * * his teammates.
    Pinto, the right back is offensively very good, but he is more of a winger than a right back, never in his position.
    the other full back Taravel or Sigali, they're just not good enough...
    and the left back....oh * why do we still have him...Pivarić is probably the worst left back Dinamo ever had, with no exaggeration.

    so hey, if he fixes his positioning, he might not be that bad at all, but as i said...at the moment...he really is sh*t.

    I don't know about you lot but I always believe the opinion of anonymous people on the internet when judging our signings. That seems totally like the best way.

    I don't need to see this guy now, it's clear he's an absolute joke. Thank * for anonymous Internet posters.

    Maybe we could put them in touch with our scouting department? Or transfer the 5 mil straight into their bank so they can approach the correct players immediately on our behalf?

    well, at least there's some good raw material then. Our coaches will have to prove their worth :fear:

    well, you have to be fair to Lovren, he looked like a world class player in Dinamo before moving to Lyon and being called the worst defender ever in France history....but he did well in Southampton! and now he's cr*p in Liverpool...
    Vrsaljko and Jedvaj are great defenders, if Šimunović is worth 5m pounds, then they are worth 15 each.

    As for the current squad, i think Ademi, Pjaca, Ćorić and Rog are worth scouting (Henriquez from Man United isn't that bad either)
