Is it just me is LS making better moves this season then they did last? I mean the results may not be any better on the pitch but some of these players Brandao...Flo could have been of some help last year.
I understand that Goran Karanovic has been working out with Aarau and played in the U21 game v Basel and other pre-season matches. He surely could help this club out I feel. Not sure why they haven't signed him yet.
I agree about LS, yes they have lost some players, but some of the ones they brought in look promising, at least in paper. As for Karanovic, there are few BCL clubs, in my opinion, that he could not help. I wonder what his salary demands are?
