Welcome Stefan Ortega | Signs three-year deal

[Corky]

Ortega was seen as the next Maradona at one time, saved David Platt a few times in his woeful managerial spell in Italy with last minute equalisers.

Then it was Fernando Redondo.

He'll want to get his family settled ASAP. Don't want househunting etc to bleed into pre-season. I wonder whether he knows KDB from playing against him at Wolfsburg?

I doubt he has played against him, would of been a bundeliga 2 player when KDB played over there.

Just watched his interview on the official site. "I think I'm a good type. I make a lot of jokes, I'm a funny guy but...."

You're German, for fuck's sake. Germans don't have a sense of humour!

*stereotype alert*

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

I can already tell from that interview that he's going to be unintentionally hilarious. Seems a good character, and a real coup to get him on a free. Welcome Stefan and well done Txiki.

18 for a goalie is an abomination though. 1 and 12 were free, and I don't see Ederson ever switching from 31.

Can’t be doing with 12 as a keeper number tbh, though!

I think 18 is the sub keeper number in Japan and the designated sub keeper number in the Olympics!

I’m guessing Zak will not be back if this guy has a 3 year deal.

In terms of pure shot-stopping ability, he was better than Ederson last season, but Eddie is still better when he has the ball at his feet.

From the videos he looks very agile but a bit frantic. The Keylor Navas comparisons seem fair

Interesting YT highlight video of Haaland vs Ortega -> Ortega is very brave and Haaland gets a sweet assist

Keylor Navas has 3 CLs, though. Maybe we need some of that energy.
