chicagoblue 507 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Interesting one. Looks to be reasonably two footed. I don't see any great evidence of searing pace though. Had a quick look at compilation video and must say, some of the defending in that league is absolutely comical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markjazzbassist 3,339 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I didn't realize he was only 19 and already played European football. Granted with a Croatian side but still, some gems to be found. u-21 team or first team? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EFC-Paul 1,062 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 He looks a talented lad tbh and at 19 he certainly has enough experience to step up No brainer for the reported fee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EFC-Paul 1,062 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Left Croatia's U21 training camp, looks very likely this will be done soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpartyBlue 358 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 He does look promising. Obviously not a great league but he seems to be an intelligent player with a pretty well rounded skill set. Good at creating space for himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sibdane 2,257 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We're definitely looking at the long-term with a lot of signings which is great. We still need a few more players that can provide a spark right now though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this lad would be slung into the U's tbh He has over a 100 first team appearances albeit in a lesser league but has the experience and looked tidy against us tbh him and Barry stood out for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wiscoblue 0 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Looks pretty crafty from what I've seen. Able to place good crosses in the box as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had a quick look at compilation video and must say, some of the defending in that league is absolutely comical. I just said this in the other thread about the defending. Isnt it bloody awful! Technically he seems sound but like you say doesn't seem that pacey, maybe Mirallas level, which I suppose is a start. I would be very surprised if he would be coming here to play in the U21s.

Matt Tiger 23 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'd like the signing as long as he's not viewed as the answer to our striker need... He looks like a strong future option but isn't nearly good enough to be the immediate answer now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
London Blue 2,448 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think we need to accept that Everton are a project, signing players for the future as well as ones for the present.

This will take a a couple of years. Instant success is Iron pyrite. I think this is the main reason we're having trouble finding a striker. It's a high profile position within an especially inflated market and no one desperate to sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey 5,105 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I take it back he actually looked like a player against us in the away leg. Strong, good burst, good feet and reads the game well. As a replacement for Mirallas I am happy with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
