Romey 1878 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I don't think it's going to take him long to be as loved here as he was at his previous club. Got to start him on Saturday.

Toffee_in_LA Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 How was Besic today? only just got in from work Check out the Gameday thread, there were plenty of us raving about him when he came in the 2nd half. He started out a little slow with a rough tackle but other than that, he had a pretty darn good performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 he was excellent. his feet are fast and neat, energy is high and tenacious in the tackle. what did surprise me was I was watching to see his partnership with McCarthy... yet was not only impressed but excited to see his partnership with Barkley. The two of the had a few passages of play where they looked like they had player together for years. their interplay was great to watch.

EFC-Paul Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 He's the type of player that I can see if in form being invaluable in the derby games and also against the lesser sides when we need that bit of steel and drive. I liked the lad from the little I saw in the world cup and since being linked in clips etc and I know it's early days but I can see him becoming a top top player for us.

Against the lesser teams we could get away with pushing McCarthy more forward and just leaving Besic with the cb's as he is mobile enough to cover the ground where as Barry realise on his (excellent mind you) positioning. I think teams will soon learn if they want to get near our penalty area their going to have to wear a kick or 2 of Besic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Angel Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I don't know about you guys but you think our midfield is really good until a up and coming young cover player never heard of before signs for as little as four million only to look the most established, calm on the ball, best passer, best awareness player on the pitch.

Potential legend in the making. bit early for legend calls, potential or not but I know what you mean, he, McCarthy and Barkley as our core for the future? Hell yeah! He does need to adjust to the discipline of a new league though, so I expect to see him carded a fair bit this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 He's the type of player that won't last 90 minutes in a derby game too. I'm sure he'll get to grips with how important those games are to the club and curb it a bit but at times its that kind of mentality that get a side going eg the United game a few seasons ago My main point was his attributes will "hopefully" stop us being steamrolled in the middle of the park were I've always thought we've been lacking when push comes to shove. I know it's a lot to expect of the lad but I've just got a feeling he's going to be a very important player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think a lot of people are expecting an awful lot from him without having a proper look at him if I'm being honest. At the end of the day he was playing in the Hungarian league and none of the "big boys" so to speak were after him. I just hope people have a realistic idea of what he's going to bring and it's a bit unfair on the lad to expect too much from him. Lets give him 6 months and see how he goes is my thoughts.

Coleman was playing in a piss poor league Dzeko was playing in the second tier of Czech football prior to moving to Wolfsberg and so on the list is endless Every player starts somewhere you'll find few that have started out at a big club and made it through and then gone on to become a good player for said club I know where your coming from but it's not outlandish hope promise or expectation it is for me anyway seeing a real player at a steal, I've personally seen enough to know he's a talent Time will tell but as previously said I do think he'll be an important player for us due to him offering us something we've missed for awhile Edited August 10, 2014 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question, I can't remember. 6 months (to a season I'd add) is a reasonable amount of time to judge a player which is more Paddocks point I think.

Honest question, I can't remember. 6 months (to a season I'd add) is a reasonable amount of time to judge a player which is more Paddocks point I think. Pretty much, yes. I think some are expecting him to walk in and be the new Roy Keane and I think that's asking way too much of the lad. Paul I get your point where players have to start somewhere, of course they do mate but he's been plucked out of a league that's probably on par with our League 1 he is going to need time to adapt to the pace of the Prem and he's going to be facing much better players week in week out. I'm not suggesting he's not up to it but he's going to need time to bed in and adjust. He's only 21 and I don't think we will see a great deal of him to start with either. I'm not saying he wont become an Arteta, Cahill etc but I just think some people are expecting too much too soon from him before he 's even kicked a ball in anger for us.

Cornish Steve Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Maybe we should just enjoy the fact that a potentially great young talent has joined the club and not put him under pressure before he's even played one game in the BPL. He'll have a lot to learn, will make mistakes, and may or may not work out. Who knows at this point? But let's enjoy watching the season play out and seeing how the new core of young players get along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's enjoy watching the season play out and seeing how the new core of young players get along. I wouldn't say that we/fans are putting him under a lot of pressure at all. We're just raving about what he has done thus far (albeit in preseason). He could've been a player that came in during preseason and played like a deer caught up in the headlights but he has done quite well thus far. Having said that, he has come at a position we are quite deep in with McCarthy, Barry and Gibson who prior to his injury was also playing well. I definitely agree with what you said at first, he seems to be potentially a great young talent Edited August 11, 2014 by Toffee_in_LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 His best attribute for me is one that cant be taught, he looks a winner. He has looked angry and annoyed at losing in friendlies and this is what Everton always seem to miss, that character that cant stand to lose. We have watched as his frustration has hot the better of him during pre season and I hope it continues. Watching other teams play us and go for a win if one of the most frustrating characteristics of recent pre seasons. The watching teams like Orient beat Monaco puts things into perspective. We need that killer instinct and I think this lad has it. Toffee_in_LA, Romey 1878 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
