Yes move on leave it to them who know more than we do! The top 6 is in the range of fairy tales with the actual squad and us about to lose one of our best players. Even with reinforcements this summer. Dragovic is a very good defender who would suit us nicely. Can't believe you are ditching him. Edited 23 May 2018 by ZeGuy 5 1
Outfox the Fox Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 I really hope the management see sense and sign Drago. He was in the Best XI in the FT Player Awards this season and played the full 90 mins in the Austria team that beat Germany last night. In fact, he has been the first choice Centre Back in all Austria games this season. 2

We must have a bloody good CB lined up if thats the case - it was clear Dragovic was a very, very good CB, not to play him was criminal. Edited 3 June 2018 by OhYesNdidi 1
MC Prussian Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 (edited) According to latest reports and quotes from Leverkusen DoF Rudi Völler, Dragovic is due to return to Bayer 04 - whether he'll feature often for his main club remains to be seen. Could well be loaned out again, this time to another Premier League outfit. Looks like he won't be coming back, which would be a big shame. EDIT: We're apparently still interested, but the fee's the big hindrance. Edited 3 June 2018 by MC Prussian
Grebfromgrebland Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 How did we **** this up? Who else could we get who's better or as good as him? As we need at least 2 centre backs this summer.

The bloke who brought back Wes after our defence containing Dragovic had played excellently at Chelsea while we were on a 5 game run without conceding a goal. As we know Wes did not do well. So yes ‘Puel inners’, this is another stick I want to beat Claude with. Edited 3 June 2018 by NotTheMarketLeader 3

Bit strange for it to be the fee that is the issue, when we were aware of what his fee was when we brought him in on loan. I'm sure i read we had £20m option to buy?? Or is that the problem, we dont think he is worth that price? 2

Not difficult to work out really Michael Keane was sold for £25m, having one year left on his contract. Dragovic is a much better CB, he is 100% worth £20m. He's better than both Gibson & Mawson who i assume would cost £30m + ish. 2

Interesting that ......personally think he was okay but no more than that.....better than Wes whose legs have gone but top drawer not for me. Had played consistently for Austria but at RB and CH but not sure he is the proper answer and definitely not worth £20m ....much rather us sign Evans and/or Mawson who may cost more but would be a rock to build the team around imo!! Hopefully the recruitment team take a similar view on Grealish and Maddison who similarly are being quoted at silly prices due to them being British.
baldeagle Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 I love how people automatically think it’s the club/manager/Rudders that have ****ed it up . Maybe just maybe the club he’s currently owned by have or maybe the player himself may not just want to come here . Not because of how he’s been treated but because he may think he has a better option or basically the deal just doesn’t suit us . 1

Expect us to sign a quality CB now if our recruitment team don't rate Dragovic. You'd rather sign Mawson? Because he's younger and English? Dragovic is the better player IMO, much better & wouldn't cost us huge amounts. Edited 3 June 2018 by OhYesNdidi
mozartfox Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Our recruitment does not rate him, as not in the same class as Musa/Slim/Mendy/Kaputska.

Arrrgh how things are twisted over time, the 5 game run included two games against at Fleetwood (who frankly should have scored in both games) and Dragovic only started 4 of them anyway. Plus, were weren't even on a "5 game run" when Wes came back, we were on a run of conceding 8 goals in three premier league games.

During which time we won one of them. I find the hype hype around certain players absolutely bizarre. 1
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Why would he want to join us anyway? Can’t get a game here so it’ll be cheerio.
Keiriel Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 As it stands, it's unlikely that Dragovic stays. I understand the sentiment behind Morgan playing ahead of him, being captain and possibly playing his last season as a starter, but I think Dragovic should have started more. There's no room for sentiment when it's at the cost of performance. 1

sylofox Posted 3 June 2018 Posted 3 June 2018 Do people really think this will happen? More chance of me pulling Suzie the Fox than this. Infact if I load her up one night she still won't pull me But I would pay her twenty to pull me Weller 54 would pay her to think about it. 1

I read today in the Austrian Edition of 'Hello', that Drago was heartbroken during his spell at Leicester as some top fit local bird he had on his 'to do' list, binned him for some talk dark Spanish MF? 1
