Pamplemousse Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Interesting signing, I wonder if he's being signed with Tadic also in mind, perhaps signing another Serbian will help him regain his form
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I like him based on the first goal in this video alone Turn the sound down though, the music is horrible.
hypochondriac Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Unimpressive scoring record, but if anyone can get him playing then it's Koeman.
Lighthouse Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Interesting signing, I wonder if he's being signed with Tadic also in mind, perhaps signing another Serbian will help him regain his form They aren't swans. Tadic speaks English well enough, we don't need another Serb to hold his hand.
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Boy has some skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms0azcVgPsM
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I haven't been as excited by some youtube videos since we signed Steve de Ridder.

Fillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No 2 to Maybush Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 £32 million release clause in his contract? WTF LOL
angelman Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 £32 million release clause in his contract? WTF LOL Shop window for other clubs? But Benfica always seem to have release clauses at astronomical levels.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Looks very direct, and a bit like Shane Long in all honesty.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 28 January, 2015 Author Posted 28 January, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Iberia, aren't release clauses compulsory? Every player has one in Spain, at least.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 £32 million release clause in his contract? WTF LOL Players in Spain and Portugal have to have a release clause in their contract. In order to stop them being pinched easily these clauses are often for fees far more than the player is worth.
Bewildered Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 £32 million release clause in his contract? WTF LOL Portuguese teams always put stuff like that in player contracts. Unimpressive record since leaving the Eredivisie, but if anyone can get a player firing it is RK.
hypochondriac Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Portuguese teams always put stuff like that in player contracts. Unimpressive record since leaving the Eredivisie, but if anyone can get a player firing it is RK. I just said that!
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Unimpressive scoring record since leaving holland but if anyone can get him firing Koeman can!
pap Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Interesting signing, I wonder if he's being signed with Tadic also in mind, perhaps signing another Serbian will help him regain his form We did look at a bloke called Gavrilo Princip at one stage. Causes too much trouble, apparently. (little Arch-Joke there, arf!)
Patrick Bateman Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Phillips De-durex Makes Messi look sh*te.
Highfield Saint Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 A front three of him, mane and elia would have some pace
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Unimpressive scoring record since leaving holland but if anyone can get him firing Koeman can! That's a good point, didn't think of that.
shurlock Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 (edited) Looks very direct, and a bit like Shane Long in all honesty. Doesn't sound anything like Long. More of a languid, creative type, a playmaker who can pop up with the odd goal. Surely someone's seen him get sent off or score an OG in one of their odysseys around Europe? Edited 28 January, 2015 by shurlock
Wade Garrett Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I reckon Koeman can get him back to his best form
del boy Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I reckon that if anyone can get him firing Koeman can, even though he has a somewhat unimpressive scoring record since leaving Holland
Pamplemousse Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 They aren't swans. Tadic speaks English well enough, we don't need another Serb to hold his hand. So what if he speaks English? I speak French well enough but it didn't stop me from getting home sick from time to time when I was living out there especially in the first few months, which definitely had an impact on my work. I know having English friends with me helped a great deal. Might be the same for Tadic.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Any source other than the DM article? That Journo is a "copy and paste from other sources" Merchant so it wouldn't have come from him. Sounds like another Elia type where he was class in the Dutch league and very hyped up then hasn't settled since. Would be good to get another forward player in.
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Filip Djuricic makes Messi like shiiiite He playes on the left, he hates Pompey Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Doctoroncall Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Unimpressive scoring record since leaving holland but if anyone can get him firing Koeman can! you beat me to it, I was thinking the same.
Saint_Ash Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 It worked with Pahars and Imants Bleidelis..
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Doesn't sound anything like Long. More of a creative type, a playmaker who can pop up with the odd goal. Surely someone's seen him get sent off or score an OG in one of their odysseys around Europe? I am just judging by the Youtube video, hence why I said 'looks'. He doesn't look overly creative, but direct and fast with a bit of skill. The way I'd imagine Long playing if an attacking mid.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Here are his old stats Turks. About as impressive as you would be on 15-1. If football manager stats form 2014 are anything to go by and we all know they are, I'm out!
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 He's no Adam Blackmore is he? LOL. No he isn't. But he reports it as a done deal so obviously its come from elsewhere as this guy is one of those that retypes other peoples news day in, day out. Must be thrilling.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 LOL. No he isn't. But he reports it as a done deal so obviously its come from elsewhere as this guy is one of those that retypes other peoples news day in, day out. Must be thrilling. I agree, he's ****.

The way I'd imagine Long playing if an attacking mid. Must be watching different vids. Either way, interested to see what he offers (if the deal happens)
Crab Lungs Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Smart signing. Another player with great technique... Will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the Prem
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 17 for technique Crabby - no Shane Long to me!
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Another try before you buy scenario too which makes sense. Possible in the summer that we will mostly sign players who have already been with us on loan.
Saint Charlie Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 LOL at one guy on Twitter asking Alex Crook if there is any truth in this. Expect a story in the Mirror/Star tomorrow.

Dark Munster Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 I reckon Koeman can get him back to his best form Hopefully, because I heard his scoring record isn't impressive.
Kokakole Posted 28 January, 2015 Posted 28 January, 2015 Having watched him play for the Serbian national team: in some games he was the most creative player on the pitch (including Tadic) and always looked could spark the team. In others, he looks weak and like he can't really influence the game. It seems to me his best position is behind the striker, as an attacking midfielder or auxiliary striker. But the one thing that seemed a constant was a lack of composure in his finishing. So, all in all, he could help and add creativity, but I don't think he'll be scoring lots of goals for us.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 28 January, 2015 Author Posted 28 January, 2015 Hopefully, because I heard his scoring record isn't impressive. Well, not since he left Holland anyway. I reckon Koeman can get the best of out him though...
