Asked about Besic on another forum and got this response;
"I watch Hungarian league every week and saw a lot of him, I can give you some information about him:
He is verstile, he can play CB as well. I heard he played CB at Hamburg (5 games in the senior team) before coming to Hungary 2 years ago. He played RB a couple of games, but it was out of necessity.
A little bit about him then. He got kicked out by Hamburg because he had an argument with the coach. And he didn't play for the u21 national team for the same reason. Here in Hungary none of these happened, he had two different coaches and both like him. I doubt he has any of those issues any more he matured a lot here.
He plays for Ferencváros, which is the biggest, most supported clubs, and it's really hard for their supporters to accept and like any player, but he succeeded. I have to say here a little bit about the level of Hungarian league: We haven't sold any Hungarian player to the top 5 leagues in 5 years (maybe foregners neither). So far in Europa league qualifying 2 teams played against to teams in Malta with the score of 1-1 and 2-1. The 1-1 game was away and played by Ferencváros. Of course the league is better than the Maltese league, but the teams are of the level of low championship and league 1. Ferencváros now has Thomas Doll as a coach, who maneged in Bundesliga, and before that Ricardo Moniz, now at 1860 Münich.
Besic: Positives: Was the best player of the league this year, and last year. Never stops running, if I remember correctly in 2 games this WC he ran the most. Very good technique, he'll only give the ball away in the very last resort, he'll do anything to pass/dribble the ball even in tight situations, with very good success rate. Amazing tackling, and likes to hastle opponents very much. He plays a bit like Sissoko + the technique. He's fast, his acceleration is above average. Shows leadership as well.
Negatives: Bad shots, not very good with long balls, and his heading isn't outstadning (not really bad though).
I predicted that he would sign for a low, maximum middle level PL club, so if he really goes to Everton it's a big step for him. His work rate and and always wanting to get better help him to succeed nevertheless. I wouldn't be suprised if he had a couple of bad games, but with playing time and confidence of the coach he can do what Everton fans would excpect in a few weeks, months in the PL. In my opinion it's more likely that he succeeds than doesn't, about 80%-20%.
If you have any questions just throw them on me, don't really know what to say.
PS: Several lists about players with the biggest potential had him in it when he was 18-19.
PS2: Martinez really praised him during the world cup in the commentator box, so that means a lot. Ferencváros will only get 30% of the transfer fee, because that's how Hamburg let him join them for free, so the transfer could be complicated."
