Im farily sure it will be less then 8 mill to be honest id think in the region of 6mill with possible add ons. Like i say hes a player thats been on our radar for a while - hes been extensively scouted over the years and recently. He has a lot of attributes to be honest, while many have questioned his pedigree he has done it at his respective clubs, in Europe has international recognition, its all he can do really, seems like the perfect lead up to going on to a bigger stage in a more competitive league.
Its all well and good saying he coming from the SPL but so did the likes of Henrick and Stephan Fletcher. I can think of a few who have gone north from the PL and flopped in the SPL. Undoubthedly the PL is of a higher standard, but playing up there comes with different pressuers and especially playing for the old firm you need a certain strong charicter and resiliance or you melt. Hes also from the Balkins who traditionaly do very well attribute wise in the PL.
Like i say, i think he will improve our goals +, hes capable of 10-15 a season - he also has the potential to improve as a player, he is also a provider - he can play down the middle, inside right and left.
Hes 26 - whats that 1.5 mill odd untill hes 30 a season - with potential resale value. Cant see much wrong overall. I think the majority are being unkind to the lad on here to be honest, i would have seen him a fair bit as well.
