Guessing that's the equivalent to £500k pre-Brexit vote?

But massive injury problems in the last few years? From what i've read he sounds the real deal but a bit of a nutter. Quoted as having a "Volcanic temper"!!!!!

But massive injury problems in the last few years? The one i'm thinking is the lad who came through at Euro 2012 and had a couple of cracking games. Very solid and seemed to read the game exceptionally well. Unfortunately I've not seen anything of him since then.

Centre-halves with short tempers signed from Leverkusen have always been popular on here.
Hope he remembers to pack his gloves.

It is him.
He was a very good centre back and was destined to be one of the worlds best but he did get a load of injuries.
Interesting link though!!

"has struggled in the Bundesliga with injuries" Same could be said last season for a number of our players in the Prem. A calf muscle problem is a common one - anyone know of his other problems?

According to Transfermarkt, he's injured with a tendon crack?
Maybe worth a loan with view to a permanent deal?

Hmm ... Is it the Greeks who like to smash up plates at meal times? An angry crocked crockery smashing Greek in the potteries should love it! A match made in heaven! Lots of plates to smash when he's frustrated with being crocked.

Looks like he means it. An Alan Bloor type. But . . . . seems like he's injured all the time - which is perhaps not so surprising.

Is he worth the risk? If we didn't have such an injury prone squad and central defence as we do its a no brainer. But we do, so do we gamble?

Strange link if true. Only seems to be on the Mirror's transfer blog, rather than the paper as such. Seems to have been an elite prospect at Schalke 3-4 years ago, attracting £15m+ bids when that still meant something! But his last 4 seasons have been positively Jack Wilshere-esque. Moved to Leverkusen last summer for a cut-price £5m and ran into more injury problems. It'd be a surprise if Leverkusen would let him go 1 yr into a 5-yr deal if he was fit. Their owners are massively rich. Although they do seem to have a couple of other good centre-backs - in a German international ,Tah , who was at the Euros, another Turkish centre-back Toprak who seems to be valued at 20m euros - and are in negotiations for another centre-half, Dragovic of Kiev - for 15m euros+ - which does kind of make you think something would be possible? Hell of an injury record though - and also seems to be reputed to be as mad as a box of frogs.

Yes. This looks like a good fit. The long-awaited Huth replacement.

He sounds like fun! Although a lot more injuries seem to have flowed under his bridge since then. The story seems to be in the tittle-tattle column in the People.

What might be an issue is that he is only 6.ft , not the biggest for a centre half. We need somebody commanding in the air as the rest of the team seem to be shrinking.
