David Edgar watch the Euro under 21s last summer and was raving about Hagi at that time.

 

Seems a fantastic move for us!

Sounds promising.  If he's even remotely like his old man, he'll be a very good player.

[Rousseau 10,640]

His wiki page says: "His father Gheorghe Hagi was a footballer."

 

Did anyone know that?  

[PoohBear 1,148]

Difficult not to get excited about this one.  He's only a boy but Jesus, hopefully he has a bit of his dads magic in his feet.

Exactly the type of qualities we need in the team but clearly the lad still has a lot of improving to do.

 

I'd have preferred a more finished article but I'm not sure we can afford such luxuries nowadays.

[Franc Ergs 1,655]

He has a current value of 5.4m according to transfer markt , don't know how accurate their valuations are though.

This has the feel of a Wilson signing.

Previously I would be more concerned, but I think now we have a coaching team in place that have proven they can improve footballers.  Looks like this lad has talent, fingers crossed we can coach him to see it consistently.

The price of a player is made up by the demand of him, the willingness to sell, lengthof contract, country he plays in etc. pp.

 

TM puts a "value" in there according to age, international status, club, league, length of contract etc. so they can rank him in their system and provide a list of similar players. It can be way over the price someone is willing to pay or for what he is sold ... or below. Take Morelos, who is sure not listed with the 20, 30 or 50m we might demand for him. It s just a generic stat for TM alone.

 

TM is a source for football stats first and foremost.

That's all true and I think that, if he arrived permanently, we would improve him but I think we need someone who can hut the ground running right away.

 

Here's hoping he does...
