Initially wasnt to excited, but ive given it more thought and now i am
1) he is only 23, Didier Drogba was a year older before he made his breakthrough in France.
2) Pontus knows him well and im sure he will have been spoken to by Orta before signing.
3) Strongly linked with Napoli, Ajax and some other team from Manchester, reportedly watched numerous times so clearly made some sort of impression.
4)Ajax were impressed enough to send John Steen Olsen to watch him, he was sent to watch Christian Eriksen and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to name just 2.
5) Marcus Antonsson was never deemed good enough to represent Sweden at any level, Cibicki has at numerous levels.
6) know its just a game but Fifa do tend to put a lot of investigation into there ratings, his is apparently between 72-74, Helder Costa is between 70-74.
7)He has had a decent time in Sweden last few seasons, though his strike rate isnt spectacular it isnt bad and he has been played as a winger, not always up front.
8)He didnt cost much money, if Britt Assombalonga doesn't work out thats £15million wasted and Monk ,Middlesbrough and the player will be heavily criticised. If Cibicki doesnt then the criticism will be less due to his price, and less pressure on the player also.
9) He has European football experience, not many Championship players can say that.
10)Orta doesnt strike me as a man to panic buy, Alioski,Lasogga and Saiz were all linked with Leeds a month or so before signing, he clearly does his homework.
11) He looks good on youtube.
