2017/18 Nikola Vlasic

[GwladysBlue]

Young players have no place in a Fat Sam team.

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.

davies, holgate, kenny, dcl... have all played played significantly, sam is rubbish for other reasons

i do feel sorry for NV tho

 

[Kenshin]

If vlasic was at any other premier league club he would be playing every week (minus the obvious top 6).

We value Bolasie over him however.

Sums us up

They’ve played out of necessity, not because Fatty wants to develop them.

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 has Vlasic actually done to say every other club would be playing him every week?

He is alright.

Bolasie is better than him.

WOW! Vlasic must be absolutely gash then if Bolaise is better than him.

 

[V.M Varga]

Bolasie is better than him.

Bolasie is better than no footballer ever.

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.

 

[Zezti]

From what I saw from him early on, he has way more to offer than Bolasie.

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

 

[msb]

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.

I forgot about this guy. Sad.
