Nice bloke met him. Brum will want him now as we're interested. They're going to get 138 points and score 300 goals and keep 46 clean sheets don't ya know.
Begovic grew up in Edmonton, Canada where I now call home. Believe he came here as a refugee from the Yugoslav civil war. Fun fact, Edmonton is also the home town of Alfonso Davies which basically makes it the hot bed of Canadian football prospects.
I used to work who a bloke who went to school with Begovic, albeit a couple of years younger. He said he was a decent guy back then.
Would be nice to sign a player I’ve heard of, but that’s no guarantee he’ll be any good.
Don’t hate Begovic as an option. Age is a concern for a pro footballer but less than otherwise would be because he’s a goalie. If it’s a one or two year deal as a bridge to another younger keeper then it could work.
Adds more leadership and experience to the group as well which we know is something that Nathan Jones values highly. He’s been around a while and should be able to settle in fairly quickly.
The spine of the team reading Begovic, A.Mitchell, Docherty, Berry, Godden reads so much better than Isted, Hector, Dobson, Fraser, May in my opinion, not necessarily just in footballing ability but in experience and consistency
And yes I know Mitchell is only 23 but coming off a very decent year at Lincoln I think he's gained a good mix of experience and quality in that period

Agree and was captain at qpr last season , team full of ex captains or potential captains is always a good sign.

Begovic is saying his family is important and ideally he wants to be a number 1.
