Johann Berg Gudmundsson - random updates

hawksmoor

Again, some absolute flippin' belters in that compilation clip. The kid knows how to score a goal. Loved the cheeky little kung-fu kick.

BigRedEvil

Happy with this. Young player who has performed at a high level in the Dutch League and in international football.

Will he better than the last Scandinavian winger we had? ( Not Rommedahl I'm talking Martin Christensen)

Rothko

The hattrick goal against the Swiss is a proper woof of a goal

shootershill2tropics

certainly brightened up my day after waking up to the tbh shock...welling will be very interesting!

J BLOCK

The Liverpool of the championship next season! A lot of pace going forward, and getting some experienced lumps in at the back. COYR

Compare this to the pre season we had last year. Wood, Church and Gower all permanent signings, Sordell on loan. Two of those didn't happen till the week before the season started. Hopefully people can start to see RD has a plan for us and he is investing in the team. You've got to say, the players, plus the pitch, plus the fact we're a loss making entity, means people should be a little more open to having him on board.

Welcome Johann. A quality signing and it looks like we mean business. Will also help to attract other good players to the club and looks like we're building a side to compete at the right end of the table.

Garrymanilow

Looks like a top signing. Hopefully he'll be as good as his clips indicate, really happy about this

Just hope we dont have the bite to our team that they did

kentcrusader

wow, best signing so far. Deffo premier league player and we have him. We have got a good mix and players who want to achieve.

MrOneLung

Now THIS sounds more like it.

Looks like learning from last transfer window debacle - just need to improve the 'human side' of the club.

Well done the board.

bigstemarra

Really wanted this one to happen - very pleased.

Welcome, Johann!

Was not going to renew my S.T glad I changed my mind looking forward to new campaign.

redlanered

It feels like an upgrade on last year. Sure, not every move will pay off but there is serious intent here, and I'd say our current odds on promotion (20-1 with Bet365 ) look generous.

I recall thinking the same during Lennie's summer spree in 1985, and duly collected on an each-way bet...

kentaddick

as good as signing a premier league player. AZ are no mugs, along with PSV and Ajax they're one of the top dutch clubs.

hudson-son-son

I guess it doesn't mean much but not a bad endorsement that he was signed by Van Gaal at AZ.

LoOkOuT

Welcome aboard Johann.

johnny73

Happy with this.

East_Stand_Loopy

Have we ever had a player that has scored an International hat-trick before?

moutuakilla

Interesting choice of song on that youtube video... I often liken someone scoring lots of goals to being hungover...

That aside, very excited about this signing, might have to make the trip to welling tomorrow to check out the new team

Uboat

Great stuff. And if he insists on some pre-match Sigur Ros the boys will be unstoppable.

Addickted2U

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes the TBH signing a bit more palatable, tbh!

LargeAddick

do the G21 have a meeting planned? RD ripping the heart out of the Club, no signings, no investment on the pitch, academy a joke etc. Bring back TJ

Are you trying to merge this thread with Guilty pleasures?

Yeah karim Bagheri lol

Starting 11 is starting to look good but as a squad i think we are mid table which is fine.

Predicting thread derailment in 3... 2... 1...

Rob

Don't know of him but seems like a step up in signing. If he was being scouted at 5m I wonder what we paid. I like what I'm seeing that RD is doing. Of course, we have to see them gel on the field yet and Big Bob is still an unknown quantity for us. Definitely all this is a step in the right direction though.

Can't wait for the season to start to see how we do.

Swap places with West Ham anyone next May. :-)

iainambler

Great news. Looks like he's mustard, and boy do we need mustard for the forthcoming season. Getting very hopeful now - going to be interesting one way or the other, that's for sure.
