Why Hull City's Markus Henriksen Could Prove To Be One Of The Signings Of The Summer It's only HITC, but here you go: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/09/0...-henriksen-could-prove-to-be-one-of-the-sig/?
I remember many journalists and supposed experts writing similar things about Giaccherini when he signed for Sunderland after a great Euro 2012. I remember cos I went onto their fans forum to tell them not to get carried away and he'd just had a Euros that made him look much better than he actually was at club level. Despite pointing out that i watch a hell of a lot of Italian football I was mercilessly mocked for 'thinking I knew more than experts and journalists'. They werent laughing for long.
Apparently didn't have a full medical due to being ill, hence why it dragged on so long plus the loan only deal till January.
Do we lose him to another club if he has a great start for us? if it's a only loan? Or is guaranteed sale in Jan? Soooo many questions?????
What is it with him, he was indeed **** for Sunderland, but in one of the Euro games I watched, he looked like a world beater again?
From what I gather regarding the deal he is on loan til January but a sale has been agreed .. the only reason it was done like this was so that the incoming Chinese consortium pick up the bill so for all intent and purposes he has signed permanently
I cant even say it was good coaching cos he was distinctly average under Conte at Juve but then, as you say, did brilliantly under Conte at this summer's tournament. He just obviously loves playing for Italy. It was the same for Fabio Grosso to be honest, totally ****e at club level but always excellent for Italy - particularly at world cup 2006 - so he never got dropped.
That's what I was about to say. He looked great again this Euros. Some formations, managers and players just click.
I had the same thought. Normally one would expect the loan agreement to be watertight but we're not dealing with normal people setting out the terms...
How do people compare the signing of Henriksen to the loss of Diame? Both for £4.5m. An upgrade? more potential? Unproven?
Hard to say as we haven't seen him yet. When Diame could be bothered he was imperious and I'll always thank him for one goal.
