We have a signing!
By: jhb | June 23rd, 2009
Swedish midfielder Andreas Johansson is heading our way. Can’t say that his name rings a bell. 27 years of age (though looking at his wikipedia image, I’d say ‘age undefined’), playes for Halmstads, capped once for Sweden (this January), which is a good sign (I hope). I haven’t eben seen some youtube of him, so I’ll wait with judgement for the test matches over summer.
On related news, everybody knows we’re looking for a striker. Or maybe two… And apparently some candidates are floating about, one of which is Slovene super-duper talent Etien Velikonja, 20 years, 17 goals last season. Seems to be a rising star in Slovenia, but who knows what that means. There’s also rumours linking us to Greek strikers Saltingidis and Mantsios (both from Panathinaikos). By the way, Saltingidis and Velikonja are 1.7 m “tall” – since “helicopter” Hashemian has failed to provide air dominance last season, what exatcly are we looking for this summer? Are we suddenly planning to play the ball in swift team efforts and create chances from open play instead of kicking it high and far, hoping for a lucky header, as every decent relegation team does?
Well then, let’s see who else is coming, three transfers have been announced, two still to go!
