Hi guys just a question here. why does everyone think katic will get dropped if we get helander? Why not play 3 at the back or even goldson being dropped?

Maybe goldson could be dropped but surely won't go 3 at the back and change whole formation of the team since we started? If he didn't change in to accomodate defoe/ morelos he's not going to do it for centre half.

If Katic was dropped constantly for Wirral then he sure will be dropped if we get this Helander guy. We’re not paying that sort of money for him to sit on the bench. Goldson won’t be dropped bc he’s one of Stevie G favourites. 3 at the back could be an option but I think we’ll go with the formation we finished last season with. It’ll be a shame if Katic gets dropped bc he’s a cracking CB who will only get better and could be sold for a lot.

We paid 2mil each for barasic and grezda and they both sat on the bench for most of the season. A large fee doesn't guarentee quality.

Gerrard stated he wanted to focus on all competitions. seems to me he wants rotation of players and good quality aswell. I think if we failed to qualify for Europe we would offload more.

A higher transfer fee doesn't guarantee quality or anything coldo.
It takes a lot of permutations coming together, to make any transfer work. But the difference i see with helander is that he has a decent pedigree playing for his country and playing 4 years in Italian football.

Now i know both barisic and grezda play for their countries, but i still think that the type of centre half helander is, he'll definitely play as one of our centre halfs and Scandinavians in general settle well in British football. I think scottish football will suit this big guy because as well as being a decent centre half, he also has work rate and heart, which is absolutely needed in the scottish premiership.

Now I don't have the footballing knowledge of coop, but I am a bit worried about the amount of games helander has played the last few years. he hasn't played that much. Should we be concerned? maybe not but perhaps we should actually wait and see him sign/ play before waxing on about how great he is? Just MHO.

Thats what I said coop, a large fee doesn't guarentee quality, hence why I gave the example of barasic and grezda. I'll throw in pena and herrera just to reinforce my point.
