iTS A TWITTER FROM A TWATTER OF AN AGENT

Ignore it and dont get wound up

[richie17]

Haven't seen him for years but he was really good some time ago.  Wouldn't rush to condemn him, but then again, who knows? Iirc was at Ajax quite young, played for Juve and in a very technical Czech Rep team so I'd assume he'd easily do a job for us.  31 isn't that old for a defender, but not the direction we want to go is it?

 Football defender Zdenek Grygera leave Juventus after four years and is going to Fulham. London club in the summer one Czech reinforcement gain: in July he changed his midfielder Marcel Gecov from Liberec. About Grygeru reportedly also interested in Bundesliga Hamburg, but thirty-quarterback gave priority to offer from the Premier League. 27th 8th 2011 16:59 - 27 8th 2011 Updated 18:34 PRAGUE Grygerův forthcoming transfer of the player's agent confirmed ČTK George Muller. He stated that the closing of the transaction still remains footballer pass complete physical and administrative matters. Grygera on Saturday, the day spent on investigations, after Sunday would be with Fulham contract. "Perhaps it should turn out well. Fulham take it as a challenge, I know other top competition. The Premier League is now probably the most watched competitions and attracts me, that I part of it. This engagement would have enriched me as a player and man. I know a different mentality, learn another language. This applies also for the whole family, "said ČTK Grygera, which Juventus played against Ajax in Amsterdam. For Juventus, who from childhood fan of, but not go with a light heart. "Not leaving like that. Juventus are Juventus, plus I'm also very fond of Italy as a whole. But the situation in recent weeks and days has developed so that I hardly got closer to the cadre of eighteen or twenty players. I decided to leave and Fulham great opportunity, "said Grygera. Looking forward to the Czech partner - Gecova midfielder. "We met on Saturday and Fulham, we discussed a lot. I am happy that here I have a fellow countryman. Perhaps this is true even for him. We have the beginnings perhaps because both easier," said Grygera.

Isn't that just his page, so not him?

It's him, lots of private pictures and all that...

[FFC4Life]

At that sort of price, can't really complain. He used to be a fantastic footballer, even if he has gone downhill in recent years. Still, hardly the marquee signing we've all been hoping for.

Screams to me as though we've missed out on our targets by a very long way and are now scraping the bottom of the barrel. This bloke is now 31... going slightly against Jol's best wishes to 'lower the average age of the squad'.

I'm getting worried. The only positive is if this is 300 - 500k then it might work out to be an absolute bargain. But still, this signing really doesn't fill me with confidence.

oh right, i was just looking at his fan page thing which also had a grygera link up.

[Mr Fulham]

Let's hope a compatriot helps Gecov to establish at Fulham. 078.gif

[MrFantastic]

We could have gotten Zlatan Muslimovic for free he is a striker and we need strikers this grygera is not even playing for his country anymore and czech republic doesn't have that great players in their squads.

[DUKE]

I reckon this is Halliche's  replacement. He might be leaving us soon ! just a thought. no link.sorry 079.gif

Why do we need a big tent?

[twang]

From what I've read the fee of €500k is a severance package agreed between Grygera and Juve, so he'd be joining us on a free transfer.

Is his full name an anagram for Jari Litmanen by any chance?
