Confirmed Signing Nikola Vlasic

[Neiler]

not bad for one so young tbh. I sure do hope we actually scouted him and haven't just thought he looks good against us. Then again, united players buzzed about ronaldo from sporting and got him to sign.

Or they noticed yesterday that we lacked pace and said that kid last week was fast.

 

[a bell maul]

That's literally not Gueye.

Oh wow!!

 

[Bobs]

Really stood out for me in the two games. Only player in either team who could go past a player.
Didn't realize he was only 19. Good move for me.

Or they nothing fed yesterday that we lacked pace and said that kid last week was fast.

Mate, very few posters on here will have heard about him, but he's plainly been known about in the professional world for a while.

I understand the cynicism and where it comes from, but lets give the lad ( at least ) this season to see how he gets on before we get all Eeyore about the situation !

 

[Jozzy]

At best he's a punt for the u23s - for a club that's spent 150m and has somehow in the process jettisoned any experienced players with pace and running ability this boy is not what we need.

You've just summed up with this guy has to offer...

Can I also just say despite his youth as a 19yo he made his debut at 16, has 120 professional apps for Split, is the clubs vice captain and a Croatian international.

He's not some young face kid who's coming straight from an academy.

Was just joshing mate! I read that bleacher report earlier I'd say he's been on the radar of many clubs already.

It's very coincidental that we have just played them though. Perhaps that was the clincher.

Sounds like he will be loaned out

Did you have Google in England?

[Toffe3m4n]

Gonna say this quietly, but he has a whiff of Eden Hazard about him.

 

[Zezti]

Unless we loan him back to Split for a bit, I don't see that happening. Not sure what the work permit situation would be like.

 

[Tigger]

Where are them Split jargmen that were here last week for a inside report?

 

[Connor]

 

[Specialone]

Shame.

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

I think he is at the same level as DCL, lookman. So not a bad signing for the future but at this point in the window he may be a distraction for the Everton signing team who should be 100 % focused on bring in a proven, experienced striker.

 

[Goat]

The boy caught the eye a little, hes a little raw, but hes worth a nibble.

I approve.
