Bluesy1874 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Came through the ranks at Schalke, they had a ridiculous release clause on him at one point. €40m euros or there abouts. Overall got punted as his attitude wasn't very good. Same thing happened at Willem. Punted due to attitude. As I mentioned on the previous thread I don't think he will sign for us however if he does I don't think he will last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Tony Watt has is a goal against Barca. However attitude and application could be an issue, but I’d hope he’d have respect for a fellow German Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you agree or not Avlonitis was a coup for us, and was a renown international player, having played at a pretty decent and high level. It just didn’t work out for him, or many others, because of the silent gerbil we had in charge. Not saying it’ll be any different, but we really have got to stop comparing players before they arrive, otherwise people have their minds made up about him before he’s even out the strip on. But I understand this comes from us having signed far too much dross over th years, so it’s only natural for us to be wary. I for one have found this one of the most boring transfer windows ever so am just happy we are linked with someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be technically excellent...but lazy They will be very energetic...but lack technical ability They will be strong...but positionally poor They will be fast...but no end product Or more likely, we will have players who are just about 'good enough' across all those areas.

E6 Inc Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Pretty sure all players in Germany have a release clause in their contract and its tied into the value so wouldnt read too much into that.

Chimp Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) When Avdijaj was 19 - "Donis has the potential to make waves like [20-year-old Schalke midfielder] Max Meyer. But talent alone is not enough, you also need to use your head." Schalke general manager Horst Heldt "Despite being so young, he already has his own opinion. We all want characters in football. Donis has huge quality, which is why we brought him in. When he is fit it is easy to see his quality. I am very pleased with him." Sturm Graz coach Franco Foda "Donis has developed well. He is a fan favourite in Graz. But we will wait for feedback from our scout Mike Büskens, then coach André Breitenreiter and I will make a decision." Heldt on Avdijaj's prospects of returning to Schalke this winter Fan favourite eh, a character. Get him signed up.
