Yes I wondered if he saw McLean playing CB last year and thought, I want some of that and just charges half way up the pitch at times to great effect.
Crnac on coming out of his adjustment problems: "Of course [the price tag] adds some pressure, but me personally, I don't like to read or hear about that stuff. I came here to play football, to get better every day, in training and every match. It was tough at the beginning when I came. It was a tough couple of months, but now I think I'm better with the guys, feeling better, and it has been a relief this week. I was already one year in Poland without my family, and now it's all again everything new. I'm not used to it, but I keep going day by day to keep working. I was always physically ready, and in Poland, in the first half season, we played in the Europa League, so it was a match every three days, and I'm used to it. Everyone has helped me a lot - Borja [Sainz], Callum [Doyle] and the older guys like Kenny [McLean] and Shane [Duffy]. It has been all of them; I cannot speak about only one. All the team, coaches and people around the club are good." https://www.pinkun.com/sport/interviews/24763425.ante-crnac-opens-price-pressure-tough-city-start/
Maybe we can now actually write and talk about Crnac without the apparently obligatory mention of £8m somewhere in the piece. The whole fee thing is a fan and media created non-issue; the lad is a real talent, let's enjoy watching him develop and flourish in a City shirt.
