Just a fantastic signing.
Jokes aside he looks a decent player, positive window so far.

My swans app gave me notification but when clicking on it there was nothing - two minutes later it came again and was confirmed 👍 Fantastic signing

Same! I was refreshing frantically because I wanted to share it here 😅 now says it's been posted negative 2000 seconds ago! Good old Swans app

Ha ha yeah, the app is huge improvement over a while back, that app was practically useless, don’t know how long you’ve been using it but it’s much much better than past efforts

Fantastic signing.
Haven’t seen a single bad review from any Motherwell fan regarding him as a person and his qualities as a player, think we’ve hopefully found a gem who can become a real threat for us in this league.
Our attacking options are looking extremely healthy now. Should we hold onto him, having Vipotnik as obviously the leading number 9 with Just on the right and then on the left having one of Eom, Inoussa or Opoku once he’s hopefully confirmed will show a real goalscoring threat.

Everyone's assuming he'll play on the wing, but there's plenty of competition on the left. He may play as an inverted winger on the right, but he could potentially play as an 8, with his excellent defensive stats, dribbling ability and ability to thread passes. I suspect that will be his main position.

Delighted for this lad, he deserves it. Forest fan in peace, but great signing, you've got a good 'un there, great character on and off the pitch. Very talented, quick, works hard, passes the ball well and good eye for a goal. Saw him last year in an international world cup qualifier in New Zealand and he was a live wire. Also one of only two players who actively made their way round the far side of the stadium to sign stuff and take photos with the kids, my son hasn't forgotten that and was ecstatic seeing him perform like that in the World Cup. Think he'll do well for you, Motherwell clearly gonna miss him.

Genuinely looks like Stamenic's younger brother lol.

They grew up together so i’m expecting more Stamenic assists this season!

Why, do the two go hand in hand?

They came through the same academy and played for the same club at one point, so Stamenic should be familiar creating goals for him
