Speak, Darren Moore!
"I'm very excited to be working with Radinio. He has fantastic attributes for a modern defender. He's very quick and athletic, can carry and advance the ball up the pitch and, most importantly, seems to love the defensive side of the game too. He's also a powerful threat in attack from set-pieces, and you can never have too many of those.
At a challenging time for his team last season, he showed that he could compete in the Eredivisie against some elite strikers. Understandably, Groningen wanted to keep him, but this opportunity has arisen now that he has entered the last 18 months of his contract.
At just 25, we believe there is still more development in his game. This was confirmed when we had the chance to speak to him for the first time. He's a fantastic character and is determined to keep improving."
Speak, Jon Dahl Tomasson!
"Pears will be in goal. I've spoken to Ben Benson and the medical team and Pears is ready to start now, which is great. We mustn't forget that Leo Wahlstedt has a lot of potential and probably played more than he thought, but that was the situation. He has a lot of good experience for the future. You always need competition in every position. We know that Leo came from a lower level and hadn't played at a high level for a few years, but the club saw great potential for the future.
These sometimes difficult experiences have given him a good foundation for the future. We have some players who have been away for a long time and he [Pears] is one of them. Sam Gallagher and Joe Rankin-Costello are two others.
It's great to have them back and it's about getting those three players up to speed. We want everyone to have an impact on the team. We still have Sam Barnes out, Ryan Hedges isn't available, [John] Buckley too. Tyrhys Dolan is getting closer and that's a good thing".
