You can only conclude that Bologna must be terrible 

Oddly Bologna finished in the top 4 in Serie A and qualified for the UCL with VK as their regular LB. Maybe says something about the poor overall quality of Serie A these days, though.

When a Leicester fan says our downfall began because Rodgers wasn’t backed more, point at Kristiansen 

eh, the clear example is the window that was supposed to push us past the two 5th placed finishes and into the top 4, so we signed Daka, Soumare and half the Southampton defence that got slapped 9-0 in consecutive seasons

That's almost impossible to believe.

£12m is a lot of money for a club like Bologna. For that amount, they could strengthen several areas of the squad, which they did. Many on here (correctly) predicted that they would baulk at the fee. They probably tried to renegotiate to a lower fee which we rejected.

Not sure who claims that or who would say "look he brought in a £15m left back" to argue against it.

Funny how players that leave us are deemed unfit by other clubs standards. 

 

A disgrace really. 

In this case it's not like we gave him a preseason - although I agree generally

I mean, not for nothing but wasn't that window the first time we'd really spent any money for two windows (other than replacing Fofana with Faes), and happened three months before we sacked Rodgers.

I remember Matt Piper calling this out when we got hammered at Fulham 3 years ago, it was in the 1st half too ! 

Player fitness is a non negotiable.

They signed a very decent player on a free at left back that summer. I watched live for Bologna and he was very good. 
 

People over state the supposedly poor quality of Serie A. Their clubs have done reasonably well in Europe in recent years.

I honestly think this guy just doesn't want to play football.  He's like a kid who has been forced to play and wanted to impress his dad or something.  Now he's made it as a pro, he doesn't actually like the sport and is happy to drift, putting in the minimum amount of effort to get paid something.

 

He's the lazy guy that everyone knows at work who absolutely steals a living with zero output and is carried by everyone else.

Think his family were at Villa for the one good game he had for us (debut) greeting him like an under 12 in a junior league.

 

I’d second your thoughts that he looks like he would be happier just doing something else, he’s certainly not a footballer that’s for sure.

I think he has a weak attitude rather than a bad attitude.  He never wanted to back himself if Mavadidi did actually pass to him in an overlap.

 

He always looked poorly conditioned like a work colleague that plays 5 a side rather than a professional athlete that can go to the gym, train and eat clean food everyday while being paid well. 
 

I understand players not wanting to be here because of the chaos, but I never understood why they didn’t at least keep in shape and work on their ability to get a move elsewhere.

So basically he was crap!  Crap going forward, nervous on the ball, no pace, no quality, poor haircut, terrible right foot, couldn't overlap, couldn't cross, shakey defensively, not very likeable...the list goes on. A catastrophy of a signing!

He’s only been here a few games and I also appreciate we’re playing weaker opposition but when you compare the way Kristiansen used to defend to how McFarlane defends it’s night and day! 


it always looked like defending was an inconvenience to Kristiansen and he wanted to get forwards, so weak 1 v 1 particularly when the ball got put in behind him

Panathinaikos fans may have expressed concerns from time to time about Victor Christiansen’s fitness and whether he will be able to help the team this season — after all, he has yet to make an appearance in the club’s famous green shirt. Nevertheless, there is complete calm within the club!

The Danish left-back is working hard every day with the people at Panathinaikos, with the aim of integrating into team training and competitive matches as quickly and smoothly as possible. And all this while he is already medically cleared and fully fit from a medical standpoint.

Why hasn’t he joined team training yet?

Of course, this does not automatically mean that he is already ready to contribute. His medical tests showed that some of the muscles in his legs have atrophied as a result of his eight-month absence from football.

As a result, the player is currently training individually and following a specific strengthening programme, gradually increasing the intensity of his workouts every day.

When will we see him join team training and be included in matchday squads?

Panathinaikos estimate that the 23-year-old defender will be ready to help the team immediately after the long international break. The break will run from September 21 to October 6.

Further evidence of this is the fact that he has been included normally in the club’s European squad list, suggesting that everything in his case is now moving in the right direction.
