Ed001, have you managed to watch any of Grujic early games?

I was highly critical of him at Cardiff but by all accounts he has been exceptional at Hertha who are 2nd in the league (unfortunately got injured this weekend) . Would be great to hear your thoughts!

Just picked up a few quotes from their head coach and some of the press here in case you're interested:

Pal Dardai (coach) : "Marko is an exceptional player in midfield. I've never said that about anyone since I was coach here. It's not normal for us to be able to get him. "

Michael Preetz (sporting director) : "Marko has managed to make a significant difference to our game in the short time he has been with us, which is why the loss for him personally and for us is very, very bitter. Now we will look after him and help him, so that he can play that role as soon as possible. "

Even the press have been quite nice! "Another key to the Hertha upswing is Marko Grujic. The Serb, loaned for a season by English championship leader Liverpool FC, embodies unremarkable top class. ".

{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen any of his games, about time he knuckled down though. His problem has always been himself.}

‘Unremarkable top class’ doesn't sound like the best compliment ever.
