from the guardian -

Let go by Hamburg two years ago for being considered a difficult character, the Everton recruit needed a spell in Hungarian football and a few outstanding World Cup performances to complete his road to redemption. The 21-year-old had not featured for his country for over a year – after declining to play for the under-21 side – before being handed a late call-up just in time for the last two friendlies, which booked him a place with the travelling party. The reinvented defensive midfielder, who broke through the ranks at Hamburg as a right-back or central defender, is best remembered for his marking of Lionel Messi in Bosnia’s opening game. Though the £4m fee for a player from the Hungarian league might seem steep, the dynamic, quick and competitive utility man could prove to be a useful addition to Roberto Martínez’s Everton squad.

maybe he can be used as back up right back...
 

More interesting watching these two gush other eachother than the meltfest gush over some eastern european midfielder who's played 45 minutes for us and did a backheel once.

I wouldnt disagree, but it wasnt even close to be being on topic.
 
Martinez: Bešić has predisposition for an amazing career



Muhamed Bešić is smart enough to avoid becoming a target of referees in the Premiership in his first season, said to the English journalists Roberto Martinez, manager of Everton.

Bešić earned yellow card after three minutes against Paderborn, but Roberto Martinez isn't conerned as journalists in England:

"It is true he is strong and agreesive, but Mo has a natural balance. It is a complete player. It is true that against Paderborn he got booked after three minutes, but I do not think he will will have a problem with referees in the Premiership. With the German referees I believe that he would have a problem, "said Martinez, adding:

"Bešić has a high level of football intelligence. It is clear that he will need some time to get used to everything, but I think he is a player for the Premiership. In addition to excellent physical predisposition, featuring the good overview of the game and correct pass. He has the potential to make an incredible career, and that was evident at the World Cup. He was player of the year in Hungary, and it is very rare to get such recognition for a player who is not offensive. "

Muhamed Besic has been pictured laughing and joking with his new team-mates.

The Bosnian even cracked a smile at the beginning of his first press conference as an Everton player.

But it is the other, darker side of Besic that has caught the attention of Blues fans.

Besic, with his cold stare and sometimes abrupt nature, cuts a mean and moody figure.

There’s a swagger – not cockiness or arrogance – but a confidence and nerveless attitude. Besic is not rude but matter-of-fact in much of what he says and the feeling is he will play in a similar vein.

“I have got respect for my team-mates and they are great players but I have come here to play,” Besic declared.

Tough, uncompromising and keen on the basics of the game, the £4m signing from Ferencvaros comes to Goodison with the growing reputation as a midfield terrier.

A hard-man? It looks that way. A midfield enforcer? Time will tell but there’s a mystery and intrigue about Besic.

Tales of ill-discipline at old club Hamburg and claims of being strangled by his manager, only add to the air of unknown about him.

Eleven yellow cards and two reds last season in Hungary’s top flight strongly suggest he has fire in his belly and delivers bite in the tackle.

Besic, with his slick back hair and arms covered in tattoos, is not built like a powerhouse who can dominate in the fast lane of central midfield.

But anyone who watched his 45 minute cameo against Porto in Leon Osman’s testimonial is sure to have been impressed.

Besic instantly endeared himself to the home fans with a neat one-two, a pair of Cruyff turns and then a perfectly weighted 30 yard cross-field pass. The 21-year-old also threw in some full-blooded tackles for good measure.

Gareth Barry and James McCarthy are ahead of him in the pecking order but Besic is sure to be snapping at their heels.

Besic’s display in the World Cup against Argentina – and Lionel Messi in particular – was the standard by which he had been judged.

Blues boss Roberto Martinez, a long time admirer of the Berlin-born player, says that night gave him “clarity” over Besic.

“I have never seen a young man perform in the manner he did for Bosnia against Argentina in the World Cup,” Martinez said.

“For a young player, playing in a new position, as he did and having to cope with one of the best players in the world, that day I learnt that he was Everton material.”

But now Besic has donned the royal blue shirt, there are new heights he has to aspire to.

He has all the makings of being a cult hero at Goodison.
 
At the Porto game I was sat in front of 2 lads who pretty much slagged the whole team off for being rubbish, Jags, Alcaraz, Hibbo, McGeady, Naismith, Pienaar all got abuse for not making the grade, Besic came on and within 5 minutes they were jizzing over him. By the end of the game that's all they were talking about, how much of a bargain he was and how he looks a 'proper player'.

I love how excited we get over new players because we aren't that used to getting them, they come in and we love them more than players who have done a good job at the club for longer.

The stick McGeady got was justified in that game to be fair he was poor.

I will make my judgement on Besic a few months into the season once he's managed to get some competitive games under his belt.
