Confirmed Signing Nikola Vlasic

[toffeejack]

How some of you can say you don't remember him when he was one of the focal points for their attack and we played bloody 180 minutes of football against him is mind boggling. He's pretty darn good - skilled, fast, strong, talented.

i didn't notice because all their players' names ended in bloody vic. The only one who stood out for me was barry ... because his name didn't end in vic ha Oh and said. I just kept thinking of gareth barry and ibrahim said tbh.

Can he run faster than our front 4? if yes get him now.

That's like saying, "Can you high jump 3 feet?"

 

[Zezti]

Young, skillful, quick and relatively cheap. £10m could be worse spent than on him. Slight gamble perhaps but into his 3rd senior season I believe so might be surprisingly experienced.

Hadjik said he's not leaving.

Yeah, cause no club has ever sold a player that they said we're not for sale.

All reports I have seen say they are open to a transfer.

The President sure sounded like he was open to it. Is there a more senior ranking official that has contradicted him? Link?

I heard good things about him over on Kassie's Euro website forum (Hajduk Split fan talking about his team). But I must say it shows us in a great light - building bridges not walls - buying players from clubs we've played (and beaten) instead of underhand, illegal approaches to star players.

the one ToffeeDan identified as HS number 8 that created problems for Everton in both legs. I said then that the world will soon hear of Nikola Vlasic and there he goes. The best young talent currently in Croatia, and that says a lot. 10 million pounds is a low price for a player of such quality ...

...but Hajduk cannot get more as he is (inexplicably) not yet an A national team regular. Naturally, Dinamo Zagreb mafia that controls the national team as well does not want Hajduk to get too big of a financial injection, as it could threaten Dinamo's position in the domestic league even more

Quote from other website (Kassies Euro football forum)

HS 8 produces snap shot - save Pickford

Nikola Vlasic. The world will hear of him very soon.

He's a brother of Blanka Vlasic, multiple olympic medalist and former world champion in high jump.

He was comfortably their best player at Goodison and was denied the penalty chance by his idiot teammate. Could be a good signing then.

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.

wtf

 

[ToffeeDan]

Also Europa League rules mean he's eligible for our Group Stage.

Hajduk managment will sell their mothers for 10M €

well I dont blame them Hajduk is strugling whit money for last 7 years. Josip Radoshevich (guy who scores) is Hajduk kid but we sell him when he was 18 for 2m € to Napoli, Marijo Pashalich is sell to Chelsea also 2M€ when he was 19.
End Lovre Kalinich, goalkeeper and second choice for our national team, sell to Gent for lousy 3M€. Six montsh later YOU offer them 20 M € for him.
Imagine if they stay here a not been sold. Today we will selling them for 15M each.

The name didn't ring a bell and I was hoping it was that six foot eightish striker who scored 25 goals for them
last season and wasn't fit for the two matches against us. Never mind, he sounds very useful if they're not
exaggerating, so let's wait and see.

We still want a proven CF, though. Three days to go.
