Still think he's a good player me. Was one of the best players in koemans final games ( doesn't take much like)

Think his best performance has come from cm though
 
I’d be astounded if he plays for Everton again. If he was rated then he’d be staying. He’s gone lads, it’s over.
 


Modric is an insanely good footballer who was exceptional in this country for Spurs. I've not seen Vlasic impose himself on 1 premier league match. He looked like a boy playing adult football. I'm not saying he's a bad player but the modric shout is way way over the top.
You’ve sort of argued against your own point there.

Vlasic has shown absolutely nothing to indicate he’ll be anything like Modric or Rakitic. The fact that Modric at the same age wasn’t world class doesn’t prove anything.

Any sensible bet would be that Vlasic will not make it at the highest level.

I'm not advocating him being in the team right now, simply that he is the type of player who has real potential like others before him.

If we aim to bin players off by the time they are 20 all the time then we will be stuck in a never ending loop of having to buy players ala the rich clubs.

Loaning him to Moscow is the ideal scenario for us in terms of game time and experience. That what it should be about for these young lads, chances to play football competitively whilst they are young with the plan that they have a future here if they develop. Just writing them off is plain stupid a story can go through the last 10 years alone and pull up a massive list of players who improved as they got older and were classed great.
 
Will be interesting to see how he develops. Still feel sorry for him turning up here in last season's massive pile of Ron and Sam. I'd actually like to see him play more centrally than he ever played for us, just out of a feeling that his traits would really suit a direct box-to-box style. It certainly looks like M&M don't rate him that much right now but I also think they are big enough to bring Nik back into the fold if he proves to be worth it at CSKA.
