@FreddyTheFud: Absolutely no idea how good he is but fact he's an international should suggest he's got a bit. Happy to see us being proactive by taking advantage of the special window FIFA created regards the Russian and Ukrainian league suspensions.

@WillJ_S2: No idea who he is but seems like a good signing to make outside the transfer window with international experience and top flight football. Cheers Putin

@jd_eyefortalent: He's been Rubin Kazan's captain for the last couple of years, also he's a Croatian international. Reasons to get excited, he's class.

@goodolblade: An outstanding bit of opportunism

@M_Eggy1: Good luck to anyone that comes up with a song for him.

@blademen77: Where did that come from
