i hope he hits the ground running, but like most foreigners he will need time to adapt to the english game.

it does make me laugh tho, people pinning their hopes & dreams of staying up on a player who theyve probably never seen play or even heard off before we were linked with him.

Signed from Olympiakos who play in what is virtually a one team league. They have won the league 18 out of the last 20 seasons !
But he also played for Red Star Belgrade and Anderlecht so he has played for decent sides.

Drove past their ground on a bus a few times last year when we were on a cruise and going between the port and the town of Athens and vice versa. They play in Piraeus which is the port of Athens.

You're living in the past if you think Red Star Belgrade are a decent side these days. The Serbian league is proper pony. Olympiakos regularly cause bigger teams problems in Europe.

I think far more relevant to Luka's experience is the Champions League football he's played, including against Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

I am not going to build myself up too much on our new Serbian player and I would say remember Campana from Sevilla was going to be our next big thing but he did not even get close. But fingers crossed anyway.

I'm sure you're a "Nice chap".

Just my style of articulation I'm afraid and as I have said before I am "cerebrally challenged" ! Will heed your advice !
