I thought Kwaku was going to be the guy, but for whatever reason he just couldn't break through. This looks like a good pickup, though -- versatile and pacey, and a little older than most of the latest acquisitions.

Welcome!

I think his nickname will be Hinja or just Ninja

I think his nickname will be Hinja or just Ninja

Since he's Serbian that would technically be pronounced Hin-ya or Nin-ya

Anyone have a scouting report/review on the kind of defender he is? Someone that takes after the great Nemanja Vidić?

If we keep signing players from the Balkans, we are going to need a whole forum devoted to pronunciation.
