When we signed Ortega he was 29We bought a 32 year old keeper from a team who'd been relegated from the Bundesliga and he turned out ok - Ortega
Fair play, but you get the idea - he was 'old' :) who else but Pep can spot potential in a Bundesliga relegated goalkeeper! :)When we signed Ortega he was 29
It looks like his agent/s have been desperate, selling him to virtually every top club in Europe, circulating false info to the media, but still can't attract anyone. It dose tell you something about the guy. Apparently they are now trying to push him to Real Sociedad as they now have Toyota as their sponsor.It does make you wonder why he hasn't been snapped up by now.
For me, Kamada would represent a no-risk signing. 54 G/A in the past 3 seasons for Frankfurt. Free, experienced enough but still young, might get significantly better. Pep could potentially work his magic on him, and he would help us cover several positions. I think he could turn out like Akanji or Ortega. If he doesn't, no big deal, we can sell him after 1 season.
I wouldn't be against this signing at all.
Technically very good, presses off the ball very well, can play all across the midfield and still a good age. His numbers from midfield are very good.
On a free transfer, you can't really go wrong.
Good question.Was Fernandinho also on a free transfer and couldnt get a contract in any other big club in the world? Or was he a Brazilian International, playing for a CL regular and so expensive he even had to pay a huge amount of money himself to get out of Ukraine?
