Kevin Wimmer has been announced and the response from fans is certainly split.

Opinions on a player few if any have actually seen kick a ball, vary from ‘yay more young blood’ to ‘let’s hope he wasn’t as awful as he was at his last place.’

Many sites have put together biographies of the 22 year old Austrian.

442’s assessment included:

Wimmer’s positioning has often let him down in Köln colours, having been caught ball-watching while his opponents drift into space on several occasions this season. Heading is also not a particularly strong suit for the defender, which he has already set as the next area of improvement.”

In an interview last summer Kev gave us a glimpse of his love life:

I’ve been single since late January. It was not a problem of distance, but when I became a regular player, my ex-girlfriend could no longer handle the hype that comes with football. She was also jealous when she found the fan mail from other women.”

WhoScored? claim Wimmer blocked more shots (31) than any other player in the Bundesliga this season.

So it’s swing and roundabouts.

And sock drawers hiding envelops stuffed full of naughty nylons.

A cynic would say we’ve landed a half wit with a hard-on.

I take a view that this is Levy attempting to follow the Chelsea model and buy a player that could be improved with coaching.

If the he improves so much he forces his way into the first team on a regular basis, then his value soars.

If he doesn’t work, you loan him out to someone friendly whilst getting his wages subsidised; then you sell him for more than you would have earned had the modest fee you paid for him just been sat in the bank.

It would be daft to charge in now with damning outrage towards anyone, our transfer business has only just begun.

However, it isn’t unfair to say that our defensive record last season was absolutely shocking and we’ll need braver decisions than a punt on a cheap Austrian to put that right.
