It may take a high 6 figure sum for his signature but he is 24 so there is a good chance of a resell if he does extremely well for us.

I think he’d really fit in with Thelin’s style of play. Before moving to Grasshoppers he was mainly used as a defensive midfielder which is a good sign for a player comfortable enough on the ball but it also means he may give some cover as a screening midfielder like Nilsen.

He’s also the 2nd best centre half in Interceptions per 90. He’s above average in terms of pass completions but I wouldn’t say passing is his strongest point. He looks to be a really strong defender, brave in his defending but not an aggressive defender.

It’s being reported that Aberdeen have made a bid for Latvian captain Kristers Tobers. He is a 24 year old centre half currently playing for Grasshoppers in the Swiss top flight. Looking at the data from this season, he is the 4th best centre defender in the Swiss league at Aerial Duels won %.

It’s all good! 😊

He’s right footed but has split between playing on the left side and right side

Italy for Venezia but never really kicked on. 5th for Aerial Duels %, 5th for successful defensive actions per 90, At only 22, he is another player who we could sign for quite cheap (maybe around £500k-£700k at the moment then sell for a couple of million.

The latest rumour is Moldovan international 6ft 4 centre defender Iurie Iovu who currently plays in the top flight of Croatia for NK Istra. He’s very much a Rubezic type of player, really good in the air. A little slow and average on the ball too. He spent a couple of years in-

Celtic 0-1 - actually thought it was one of our best performances against Celtic that I’ve ever seen. I think first half was an even game, not really much chances created, second half Celtic maybe edged it but we had huge opportunities at the end to take a point away at the end so some positives.

Hearts 1-1 - Tynecastle is a hard place to go to and try get a result, I thought overall it was an even game, and going by where both clubs were last season, I’d take a draw at Tynecastle.

Hibernian 3-3 - look at it at the perspective of we weren’t the team trying to gain the point, we led twice in stoppage time, just couldn’t grind out the result and stay resolute like earlier in the season. We didn’t get outplayed.

St Mirren 1-2 - the only real disappointment, it is a hard away fixture though, but the players are going to have an off day sometime. We don’t have a squad like Celtic where we can bring on a £8.5m striker if our striker isn’t on form in the match.

We have a goalscorer in Nisbet but what we need is a striker who is good at all round play imo

I don’t know if anyone from Elfsborg will leave Europa League football to come here but Thelin could be a good pull. I think former players would be good to look at, just like Nilsen and I done a scout report on Christopher McVey that if you haven’t seen already, you should check out!

Don’t think he impressed Thelin when he was at Elfsborg in either of his spells, didn’t really have a good sustained run in the team. Since Thelin has left though, he has been an ever present. Also interesting to see he’s been benched for each Europa League matches apart from the 1-0 win over Roma.
