    Roko Simic is a big yes. Red Bull trained so he's a good presser, big frame and can hold the ball, finishing needs work but his overall game will fit us.

    He’s 20. That’s how ridiculous he could be

    Is he the Serbian from yesterday? I know he's Croatian but it's pretty close

    The striker of RB Salzburg traveled to Sunderland where he is awaiting the last round of negotiations and a medical examination
    The striker of RB Salzburg and the young member of the Croatian national team will probably change employers these days. Namely, as Germanijak learns, Roko Šimić traveled to England on Wednesday , where he is awaiting the final act of negotiations with Sunderland , a medical examination and the signing of a contract.
    Sunderland is a member of the English Championship that started the season with a stated ambition to return to the elite club, but this was not seen in the transfer window because they brought in four players for now, but did not pay compensation for any of them. According to some information, this week Sunderland should sign Šimić and Isidor , a former Monaco youth player who played for Russian Zenit .
    Šimić was part of the system of the Lokomotive football school , for whose seniors he made twenty appearances before going to Salzburg in the summer of 2021 in a transfer worth four million euros. He has a contract until next summer, and despite some rumors that he could return to HNL , that is Dinamo , it seems that the decision has been made that the striker will still continue his career on the island.

    Hopefully it'll stifle the moaners for a while ....

    ... they'll be searching for adverse stats and injury histories to build their case <laugh>

    Who’s dismissing them , I’m purely commenting on the ridiculous label of being a huge club.

    Pretty spot on

    He can force passes as well but lovely feet for a big striker n is a willing runner

    Didnt have the best season last yr at Salzburg but some of that was due to Konates outstanding form

    Simic is a very exciting player, he is a player that i think can help us now but also has massive upside

    Simic appears to be the perfect replacement for LND.

    This would be a really astute signing imo, well as far as anyone can gather how a transfer will work out.

    Some impressive performances at a really high level for a young player already behind him.

    I heard of this Simic a few days ago about being a target, I looked into him, saw his value and how highly rated he was and thought nahhh no chance.

    I'm very pleasantly surprised

    This is more like it. The transfer window is eventually getting going for us. I wonder why the Simic deal is only happening now. Did he just become available or did we switch after giving up on Mendy?

    Tbf we just might not have noticed him straight away or realised it was even possible. He is highly rated

    I like to believe we've used Mendy as a mechanism to get the player we really wanted on the best terms ...

    ... f*ck you Mbappe <laugh>
