I believe it was popular in the 80's and 90's here in Scandinavia som that probably fits well. Spelled Joachim or Joakim.
Kinda reminds me of the big man JT. I could see why Jose would be interested. Reads the game very well, decent passing range for a centre half and looks like he’s orchestrating others around him. Will keep an eye on him over this season.
If United buy him, and let Rojo and Jones go, it would leave the team with Mike, Eric, Victor and Axel as the CBs. I dont see why not? If anything, the established CB like Milan should be replacing Mike and not the reserves like Jones.
I haven't seen him play since last year, don't know why but I thought he was a Schalke player not a VfB one! How has he been this year? Suppose his club being bottom isn't a good indicator for a defender.
Need proven quality not potential We should be aiming for the Inter or Napoli defender unless there is another unearthed gem who come into the team and smash it.
I don't know much about him. Would he adjust to league fast enough? I'm not sure if we can afford signing these type of defenders who are seen as decent prospects but then end up learning on the job. I'd prefer we go for someone established as we already have Lindelof and Bailly doing the learning still. I don't mind if we got this guy of he is that good. But I'll gutted if we don't get at least one of De Light, Skiriniar, De Jong or Koulibaly.
It's not outright common in Denmark but no one would bat an eyelid at someone being named Joachim. They wouldn't think of it as old fashioned, that's for sure. Do you usually judge people by their names chosen by their parents?
