Not 100% sure on the legitimacy of this as I'm sure this is a player we have previously been linked with but I'm hearing the name Luka Jeleniฤ from NK Osijek. Can play in any CB position and would be available for around โฌ1m with a sell on fee. This came from a friend who is currently doing catering for Chase who take coaching courses in conjunction with the SFA.
He is actually a Don but his info is often bang on, usually involving smaller SPL clubs but he was recently very clued up on the Butland/Pandur switch.

We were close to signing Jelanic last season. However, Martin pulled the deal as he favoured Cody.

Fuds got a lot to answer for, that's a few he allegedly pulled out of.
05 Aug 2026 07:55:06
Yeah, he had a very particular way of playing and a very particular type of player he wanted.
Was just a shame that the opposition didn't play the particular way he wanted them to.
05 Aug 2026 08:00:27
He was a particularly irritating fud.

Ehl, that's one of your best ones yet. ๐๐

Are we looking at players that are a little older, maybe? He's another 26-year-old and I wonder if DM would prefer players with more of a track record, more of a known quantity?

A detestable character was our rusty.
05 Aug 2026 08:49:54
Almost choked on my cornflakes there, Ehl. ๐
05 Aug 2026 08:56:35
But remember it looked so good in training, Ehl apparently, when we set things up just to suit.

A was never convinced from the moment we announced him, but I'll never forget him screaming at players about where to stand before kick off. It simply confirmed everything we thought about him.

Well so far we have a 50% hit rate on signing from Osijek.

I believe it was also his favourite form of contraception.

Eros Grezda was a good player Peter, you're right. I'll get my coat.

According to Wiki, Jelenic is 6'2" and is right footed. Would we sign another right footed C.D and have 4 who all favour the same side. Surely, we have got to be looking at someone who is naturally left footed to give some balance.
I also believe having a left footed centre back on his natural side would help Rommens as well in the same way that Barisic always looked better when Helander played inside him.
