Fan-reaktioner

Supporters in the Reddit thread focused mostly on Hajduk getting a solid free transfer at centre-back, with little surprise the player chose Croatia over a return to Allsvenskan. The tone was calm, no panic from Malmö supporters. The bigger talking point is whether Helstrup can sort the left-back position before Djurgården visit.
