Tha certainly clarifies a lot of questions around when he can become a citizen. Hopefully that can be sorted out for him sooner rather than later - more for his personal walfare than footballing reasons.

It was interesting that Ugarkovic mentioned Mateo specifically about his influence on him as a player. I understand that there are many on here that don't rate Poljak but I get the sense he has a big role to play off the field as well as on it. He is like a glue amongst the playing group - almost taking the Lucas Leiva role at Liverpool - the experienced pro looking after the younger players and integrating them into the team.
