Ric Flair Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Austria seem to be the new Belgium in terms of quality unkown players emerging. Let's snap a load of them up.
matty98 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 If we're going to get another CB it should be a huge 6ft4+ one so we can stop playing Ulloa purely because he's good at defending set pieces
mozartfox Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 A very good prospect. Red Bull Salzburg are a selling Club so an offer at what they consider to be his market value, and he will be allowed to leave. May be a ploy to get Dynamo K to get real on their fee demands for Dragovic. Fuchs hand phone must be red hot at the moment.
Babylon Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Him and Drago' in Europa league last year v Huth and Morgan this season... hard to compare properly.
desertfox2 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Fuchs is the head of recruitment currently. Austria topping their group above russia and Sweden probably helped his application
MPH Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Standard YouTube video.... He looks a beast though, on the video alone I'd have him over dragovic as he looks more composed on the ball (as I said based on this video ) finally a CB who can attack the ball from set pieces, oh and that goal from in his own half laaaaawwwwwdddd Bloody Hell. And he's a CB, you say? Clearly we are looking to be the first team to score 300 goals in one premier league season.
Thracian Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 I thought goalscoring centre-backs had been discouraged at Leicester for decades! Exciting prospect. Almost like the Resurrection. I just wish we could get the best out of everyone like YouTube. Looks to have skills, a natural left-footer which can be useful, a positive way of playing even to the point of having a shot, and the kind of leap I've not seen from any of our lads at set pieces.
Gerard Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Stats on defenders are notoriously best left alone for reference. If you compare Morgan this season with last season it appears he was playing better last season. Anyone who has watched him will clearly tell you this is not the case and he looks like an absolute rock in our defence this season. http://www.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#premier_league/2014/2015/wes_morgan/165/126/10686/0/p|premier_league/2015/2016/wes_morgan/165/165/10686/0/p#pass_completion/tackles_won/aerial_duels_won_%/total_duels_%/interceptions/blocks/clearances#90

Nick Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Right as I'm in Austria near Salzburg I've been asking questions about this lad... As soon as a gather a drunken consensus I'll post the low down later! SL
LCCFox96 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Can we have Dragovic and Hinteregger please? On a serious note, having Fuchs in our camp will be a helping hand for any potential deal we might be able to complete for either of these two. Personally, I agree with the people that say our interest in one is to force the other's club into a more reasonable/cheaper asking price. Wouldn't like to say which way round it is though.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 One thing's for sure based on that video - I hope we never sign an Austrian goalkeeper.
Rasmic123 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 sign him up, sign him up! put him up front with vards
Vindaloo FOX Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 he's big and ugly , the signs of a top defender !!!!!!! GET HIM IN!!
adam1 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Throwback to the O'Neil era. Chasing a game, throw the cb up as an emergency striker! This lad could give Steve Walsh and Elliot a run for their money. A proper fox in the box.
sphericalfox Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Just me that sees Rebecca Adlington? rebe.jpg I don't trust a defender who hasn't got a mushed mush. Looks like he puts himself aboot. Sign him up!
Bettsj2 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 he's big and ugly , the signs of a top defender !!!!!!! GET HIM IN!! He isnt big. Move on.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Reminds me a bit of Daniel Agger from that Video.
MC Prussian Posted 5 January 2016 Posted 5 January 2016 Reminds me a bit of Daniel Agger from that Video.The same Daniel Agger who'd still be worth a gamble. Only 31 years old and kicking it in Denmark, although hampered by the odd knock here and there.
