2017/18 Nikola Vlasic

From what I saw of him, he looks promising but not ready to start PL games yet, hopefully him and Lookman will both become top players with us in the future.
 

I think it's probably got the highest upside of all the players we've bought in the last two years. Thankfully, by not playing him, he's getting adjusted to the speed of the Premier League.
 

What I really liked about Vlasic when he played earlier in the season was his ability to receive a ball when being tightly marked, and either turn his man or retain possession with a pass that wasn't necessarily straight back to the player that initially played it. We haven't really had a player who could do that well since Pienaar, and it helps massively with making the ball stick in the final third. I've no idea whether ultimately Vlasic is good enough, but this attribute gives me some hope there's a player in there who can contribute for us in the future.

this, he seems to have that low centre of gravity and knowledge to use what physical attributes he has to his max, a la pienaar
 
at the moment he offers more than the Bolasie that is still on the way back from really serious injury. We should not be picking Bolasie ahead of him at the moment, but Bolasie does need game time to fully recover. Put him in the stiffs.
