Is 178cm right? Seems short for a modern CB. Does he have the flexibility to play full back also?

modern cbs can be short, especially if they play in a back 3

but it is still something to overcome. He will need to become an elite passer if he wants to go to a higher level than denmark

@Quicky apparently quite tall?

Yeah I was wondering if Fotmob/Sofascore were wrong because he doesn't look short, the opposite.

Dunno if he can play full-back but he can play midfield.

178 is a little short for modern top levels centre backs but not by too much.

It seems the average is somewhere in the 180-185 range.

Remember Mo Adam, that highly rated WSW player who was surprisingly released a few years back?

He’s signed for a club in Libya of all places

He's a unit - easily 6 3 & built like a tank

Not Aussie but Oyegoke got a transfer from Hearts to Hellas Verona. Thats a Serie A move from a mid tier SPFL team.

Should be a good pick up for Victory. At a peak age approaching 30 this year.

I like Miranda but he makes way too many mistakes, so yeah could be a great get this.

He's not 178cm. I would estimate 186 at least

I remember when he was at the Jets, he was their 4th choice CB behind an ageing Boogaard and NTS as well as Koutroumbis. Definitely seems like a backup option.

Long time ago. His played in Korea since then so he'll definitely be a strong cb

We've seen worse players go overseas and come back better.
