haz Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Unlike Pucci this guy and been actively playing (in a better league too) before signing for us. First time playing abroad in his career though so I can see him having a slow start. Hope he packed his sun screen! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm didn't know about the knee injury, hopefully he is going to be able to play the majority of the season... Pretty hard to get to hyped about visa players when we have had a hit and miss success rate so far. He does look pretty decent though so should do alright. Hopefully similar contribution as De Laet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's come to use the Germano Treatment Centre, world renown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuggetsMcGreggor Posted Friday at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:13 AM I wonder if this is another JVS scouting effort… I’m looking forward to seeing him play and I think he’s the right kind of visa player for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted Friday at 10:07 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:07 AM I've looked at a few video clips and get the feeling that he's a hard working player who's going to stand up for himself, won't take a heap of shit from PK, and who won't stick around if he doesn't get enough match time.

haz Posted Saturday at 09:10 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:10 PM I'm quietly confident that VDV will smash it for us. He's come from playing regularly in a good European league and nabbed a few goals and assists. Also, he looks like he has a bit of mongrel in him and those type of players hit the ground running in the A-League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
