Popular Post Sibdane Posted December 12, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Assisted tonight for CSKA's 3rd goal against Real Madrid. Surprised by how fast some people are ready to write him off already. He's young, proving himself an important player for a decent team that is having a nice championship run. Folks cry out for Besic, Dowell, etc. to get a chance but are quick to write off Vlasic just because he's playing in Russia I presume. Yes, it's a weaker league, but Moscow are no slouches by any means. His play time here isn't even enough of a sample size to truly say he won't make it. I'm not saying he will, just surprised at the negativity. He at least deserves a chance. pete0, MikeO, Matt and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Closest player to eden hazard I’ve ever seen. Low centre of gravity, strong with good feet. If we are in a European competition, he is an excellent option to have around the club. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I said awhile back that the problem for him here is positional and being given a run through the middle where he should be playing not out wide It would be a case of dropping Sigurdsson for him which wasn't likely to happen at the beginning of the season I'd definitely keep hold of him if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 My only worry is that when he was over here, he looked energetic, but not much else. A loan was the best option for him as we can give him a solid run.... and then our staff can run the rule over him ore season. Wpuld be nice to see him progress and become good enough for this league and our level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is made for Silva’s tactics but didn’t prosper in the previous season for no fault of his own.

He's been playing in his natural position for them through the middle as an attacking mid, we have and still shoehorn players into the wrong positions I'd have him back but he'd be vying with Sigurdsson for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like we’re new to mismanaged players. And we’re not really lighting any fires on the wings are we. But then is he better suited in the middle? Either way, it would be like a new player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did what Richarlison and Lookman do, occasionally going wide but concentrating on cutting in to knockdowns or through balls, then we’d get the best out of him.

Exactly what I would expect from him. He's natural on all positions behind the striker as far as I know and cutting inside is his strongest trait. Perhaps we could drag Siggy deeper into the MC slot, replacing Gana in some matches and give Vlasic the central attacking role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does mate plays centrally and most of his goals build up play and assists come from those area's If he came back he'd be wasted on the wing cutting in occasionally or not he's far more suited through the middle The loan will do him the world of good but going off his recent interview he seems to want to stay there which if he comes back isn'tt always a healthy thing, he needed the move but it could backfire down the line Shame he went out as he'd have been good competition for Sigurdsson ATM and would give us a different option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have mostly sat on the bench or played occasionally out wide, never getting a real chance to press his case. Vlasic is showing the benefit of regular, competitive, first team football. We need to get as many of the, non playing, kids out on loan as possible. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Quote This week Vlasic has sat down for a new interview with Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti. During the interview, Vlasic has mocked Everton for thinking they are as good as Tottenham: Everton has spent $100 million last year on reinforcements. Only three players – Richarlison, (Yerry) Mina and (Lucas) Digne – cost about 90 million. Everton are looking for great names and players from big clubs, like Barcelona. Despite these immense investments, the team is currently in the 11th place. That means there will be new, big purchases (in the future). I know (Everton) have decided internally that they will try to be the new Tottenham and join the biggest league clubs. What went wrong for Vlasic at Everton Vlasic also opened up about why his move to Everton didn’t work out. For the Croatian, his problems are all Sam Allardyce’s fault: Everything changed after (Ronald) Koeman left. The football played under Big Sam was awful, if it could even be called football. In such football I do not have a place. The football team was terrified by everything – the fans mostly. Why am I not surprised? I also don't think his comment comparing us to Spurs was really that much of a mockery. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I don’t think this first comment was bad either but Brands has spoken at length about how much the character and personality of the player is important to the acquisition of the player so with that mindset I just think he doesn’t fit the stereotype that brands has. Therefore I think he will be sold this summer. I’m not saying I want him to be sold just that I think he will be sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, but given both of our financial models, we'll probably take the same route as they are. We don't have the same deep pockets as City, ManU, Liverpool, Chelsea... Also, Spurs are a top 4 team every season, they play great football, and they don't have a team full of egos. I would much prefer that over where we are now.

markjazzbassist Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Man city didn't win anything at the begining either, it took time. just like it has at spurs, and now they are consistent, the trophy and league is around the corner for them. i really believe that. no reason to believe we can't be the same.

Aidan Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 If it's true then those are big words coming from a little boy who was playing in the Croatian League not two years ago. Get on with your job if you want to move then fuck off just do it quietly. Don't know why so many people rate this idiot so highly he's done fuck all apart from score a few goals in the Russian league and all he seems to do is mouth off.

I was excited when he first arrived, more out of hope. But then I watched him play a few times and realised he is nowhere near our level... and didn’t even have the potential of others here. Thats said, he does seem to be doing well over there, so maybe he has progressed a great deal?.... but then he opens his mouth and all i here is .... Lukaku Lukaku Lukaku! Same as always for me..... we’re Everton.... your just someone that played or plays for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard for me to get excited as we obviously just purchased him because we saw him play in the game or two we had against them. Just another reason why Walsh was an absolute joke. Get him sold. We don't need a new other number 10 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
