Astrid was a slower version of JJ. Why would we need to sign him when JJ is not getting much game time and is basically better (still)?
Nonsense. Totally different players. Jackson is all action; good short passer, tracks his man, puts in a tactical foul, arrives late in the box for a goal. Astrit couldn't be more different. Conserves what little energy he has, rarely puts in a challenge but plays intelligent, often long raking passes and is capable of switching the play up like few of our players in recent years have been able to. The only similarity is neither of them are speedy, that's it
Going by what I saw. You may have seen something different but I know there were others saw AA as i did. Thats what makes opinions fascinating (but not nonsense).

Nothing sums up the difference between Adjarevic and Jackson better than Jacko's goal against QPR. You wouldn't see present day Jackson hitting a curling long range shot of such quality in open play like AA did to win the corner and you'd never see AA throwing himself into a brave header like Jacko did for the goal. I really don't understand how you could see a creative but lazy number 10 as the same as a battling central midfielder who can fill in at left back.
AA is a 10 not a CM so comparisons with Jacko are pointless, AA was one of the most technically gifted players we have had in the last 10 seasons and I would not mind him back
I'd have Ajdarevic in a heartbeat. Technically gifted player. Can play Left mid, centre mid, attacking centre mid, second striker.
On a free transfer makes him a great option.
With other people there to do the running around in the middle and Astrit splitting defences alongside Jbg he'd be a bloody great other option
He is just too unfit. Astrid would spend more time splitting open a bargain bucket than opposition defences.
I really don't know why some on here speak about AA as if he was morbidly obese. The player I met at last year's kit sponsor's evening was a very fit young man. If he was carrying any excess weight, god knows where he hid it! I too, would like to have him back.

Ok - he wasn't fat.
Maybe more time splitting open a pack of Benson 's would be more apt....
Makienok doesn't have a back up though. Best and Makienok as hold up options, Watt with the trickery, KAG with the pace, Igor with the poaching. Reza to wind up CAFCnick.

Most technically gifted! You have to be joking.
What type of player did you see him as? He had a good touch, was comfortable on the ball, a decent shot from long range and could pick a pass.

Who would you say has been more technically gifted in the last ten years? Genuinely interested, your shock seems to imply you can think of loads and loads. There's Andy Reid, Jerome Thomas if you're feeling generous and Darren Ambrose if you're feeling like a debate but other than that I'm struggling

Definitely. Left in 2004 though. I think that's what Scoham was getting at; we had some quality when we were an established Prem team but since then we've had workmanlike players and cloggers. AA was a nice change when he wasn't on his fag break

Off the top of my head.
AA was ok, nothing more, when on the ball, terrible when off it.
