I wouldn’t mind betting that his stocks aren’t really that high. Where has he really excelled and maintained the #1 spot at the club?
He’s played as a first choice for a team in the MLS playoffs at Vancouver, and was one of the best keepers in the league last season, and was fairly unlucky to have lost his spot to Sail, not to mention he’s played at the Confederations Cup, and against various teams with the AWs. MLS would be better than most European leagues, and I reckon he’s better than Lawrence Thomas (ex Victory keeper), for example, who went to SønderjyskE, who are top 6 in Denmark, so this new team I’d have thought would be below his station honestly. He also has an EU (Croatian) passport to make signing in Continental Europe easier, and speaks (I think) fluent German.
