Was surprised Stimac only made 93 appearances in nearly 4 years with us. (From Soccerbase) hopefully with our youth coming through and squad togetherness we can keep some of these players for a long time

93!?!

Became a legend in 93 games

Unfortunately igor spoiled his reputation a bit in his last season.

He was permanently injured for us in the build up to the world cup, but would suddenly be fit to play every qualifier for Croatia.

The modern trend seems to be that footballers reach just under 100 appearances and then move on (90  appearances being roughly two seasons)

Igor did not leave until following summer ....when we did not play him pre season. He even sat front row of West Stand during Locomotiv Moscow game.

During World Cup, where Igor made the Team of World Cup we announced the signing of Carbonari ......who played in Igor's position.

Igor made comments in press to say why are we spending money for a player in my position.

His season ended after Kewell did his ankle in bad tackle at Leeds, Igor had said he could play, but was risky.  He played at Elland road and got bad tackle.

 

Those are my recollections ......not checked them all out admittedly.

There was something going on behind the scenes (probably arguing over this fitness - but when you are one of the best defenders n the world you will not react well to being told you are fit when you are not ) that lead us to spend
