Confirmed Signing Nikola Vlasic

[mightymoyes]

What I've seen Eggs, he could probably do both equally well I think. It wasn't his position that reminded me of Modric, more his style. Quick, slight, quick feet, good balance, two footed, and seems to play with his head up. Has ability to move quickly with the ball at his feet and glide past players. In that respect I can see why you liken him to Barkley.

Obviously the Croatian league is very poor, but all the same a lot of very talented footballers come out of that league. Think he could be one of them. He also looked quite dangerous against us in both legs.

He's far from slight mate, split fans have described him as built like a rugby player

Yeh he looks pretty robust. Rode quite a few heavy challenges against us which makes me more confident he could do a job now.

 

[riddick]

Yeah, he looked quite solid. Unless that was Barry. Because I have no idea who any of them are. Except that at least 2 of them I wanted to get a leg injury during the match.

Barry was the cm/am the one who was actually trying to shoot lol

He looked slight to me, certainly when compared to the likes of Barkley, but happy to be proved wrong. Maybe it's just his fleet-footedness that gives that impression. From the little I've seen (both games against us and youtube) he seems hard to knock off the ball so maybe he isn't as slight as he appears.

 

[gmb]

He's not slight, and he gets stuck in. I'm made up with this.

 

[maccavennie]

If hes got something about him and offers something different to what we have already I'm all for it

I read something about Bilic wanting him, but he would'nt get at work permit???

Most likely he just told them that so he wouldn't have to sign for West Ham.

Croatia is part of the EU. Work permits would not be an issue.

[TrixyStevens]

Plays a bit like Shaqiri. Apart from that I know nothing about him.

Sadly, that is not true. Croatia is not a European Union member

Potential more attack-minded Modrić on our hands here.
