Lutz worked a lot on tv doing co-comms with Derek Rae so will likely have seen some of them 2bf. On the face of it Geiger is a player who should be out of our range, even on loan let alone with an option, if you ask me though.
Geiger doesn't look like a holding midfielder from the little I've seen. Far more a B2B, in your face cm but time will tell on that. He also hasn't played for 6 months so I'm not exactly xpecting miracles from him straight away. A lot will depend on how fit he has kept himself but he didn't look to be carryin pork in his RTV interview.
So we now have Shinnie, Nilsen, Armstrong, Aremu, Geiger, Cameron and Palaversa for the central midfield positions. Suspect the club will be trying to move Palaversa also
Of course but there will defo be pressure to play the record signing regardless of who they get in. One thing for sure is this is a fascinating move. It will all come down to whether the kid sinks or swims ultimately but you would hope he would at least get the opportunity to prove one or the other. Verona are bottom of Serie A but only 4 points off safety, there's real opportunity here for Bowie to make a name for himself.
we're signing players without a manager 2bf Jute. I suspect the board would have likely known the manager was getting binned when signing off on the deal though so not overly concerned for his future just yet.
Regardless of cm places available it does sound like this guy is better than anyone we currently have to play the position. Let's see how he does I guess. Really hoping we see Aouchiche and Palaversa moved on in what's left of the window as they are clearly out of the frame and will be on a sizeable wage.
One thing I would add that I mentioned in the summer. We should put serious consideration into resigning Bruce Anderson. He's always a complete pain the arse to play against and he's always good for a goal
