And that he was available at a fee we could afford. He hasn't really made it in the prem. He cost circa 5 million if I recall correctly? 5 mil doesn't guarantee prem quality. They needed to take a punt.

        that's an absolute nonsense statement (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 13, 15:42:04

        Rashica and Dimi aren't really "young" (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 13, 14:43:28
        
        yeah, there is definitely some logic behind Tzolis, Sargent, Rashica etc... (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 13, 14:25:35
        
        I don't really mind if our strategy is much longer term (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 13, 14:00:45
        
        There is no "strategy" though is there. (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 13, 15:56:56
