Confirmed Signing Nikola Vlasic

[Barnfred 55]

I see some similarities with Vlasic and Hassler...same build, running and passing style.

Just pulling your leg Zat. I remember Hassler. He alwsys reminded me of a poor mans Maradona, and I mean that as a compliment. Little powerhouse of a player but very skilful runner. I always liked him because he also reminded me a bit of Inchie, one of my all time favourite Everton players.

To answer one of the questions... Croatia is in the EU, but there's a transitional period in which working permits are still required. So Vlasic does indeed need one

Can he play up front

Was Lookman a panic buy?

 

[Dubai Blue]

Will he be cup-tied? Or qualifiers don't count?

Was Lookman a panic buy?

No ....

Off the top of my head I don't think they count

Qualifiers don't count mate.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

No ....

Both young, promising, international players. See where we're going here..?

I think we had been looking at Lookman for a while when we brought him in, appears Vsalic is just to make up the numbers in the final
hours of the window to deflect attention away from our miserable attempt to replace Lukaku

Wild speculation that, Eddy. You think 8 million pound deals are done on a whim?

Just this one actually, due to our abject failure to replace Lukaku and deflect from that abject failure
Agree though it is speculation, not wild just my point of view

Clearly. They saw him for a couple game, never heard of him before, and decided to throw 8M at him just so the posters at GOT and other fans would be distracted from the lack of a CF coming in. That's obviously it.
