Not saying Vlasic will take his place, but do you not think Siggy needs to up his game if he is to continue to keep his place in the team as our main provider?

Played great against Southampton and was decent against Bournemouth, but apart from that he's been very quiet. We deffo need more from him in my opinion and if we don't get it his place will be up for grabs next season.

New system,manager and position, let's give them all time to settle before writing them off I say.

You obviously enjoy playing this line because you've been play a winger and even an attacker for years?
- I've been talking a long time in the last few years that I'm a midfielder and that I feel good in the middle of the field, but the coaches have nevertheless seen me in the wing position. Coach Goncarenko heard me, saw me on a few training sessions and immediately gave me a chance to get in touch. I would say that I have profited both myself and CSKA as a team, and I do not see why I would not offer even better games as a midfielder in the future.

Have you said that Goncarenko has given you freedom in the game to encourage you to dribble and penetrate?
- After winning Ufe he came to me and said that I have to keep in mind that rivals will more and more feverish me and keep watch over me. However, when I feel the chance to pass, I will always try to use it, and the fear of the duel with me never existed. I think I have a strong enough body and I'll find a way to keep it.

Space for Progress ( in artickle Prostor za napredak )

Why do you so much enjoy the middle of the pitch? On wing you are closer to the goal and you have great speed and explosiveness, as well as dribling?
- In the middle I'm much more in touch with the ball and I just feel better when I have more choices to play. On wing line is too close, it restrains me. I also do my best to play the defensive line in the tie line, the coach with tactical tips helps me to feel that I'm progressing, and what I'm particularly looking forward to is exactly how I have more room to progress, both in attack and defensive.


short interview before Plzen-CSKA
btw google translator, I did pass one time and corrected some obvious "translator" mistake

Not writing him off mate. He showed against Southampton what he's capable of and if he delivered that more often than not I'd be made up. But we need better, much better actually, than what he's shown in the last 2 home games.

Same goes for a lot of our players so I'm not singling him out. Just out of the senior players, I'd say Tosun, Gana, Schneiderlin, Coleman and, to a lesser degree Walcott, all need to step it up too.

If he'd posted that in the Lookman thread I would have said fair do's. But there's been no posts of that nature in this thread mate. I haven't seen one post that said he shouldn't have gone out on loan, not even from our Croatian friends who post in here.


See above. Don't go on Reddit so just going by what's been posted on here mate, and it's all been pretty reasonable so far.

I agree that there were a lot of people on the Lookman and Dowell threads last season arguing that they shouldn't have gone on loan. Whilst I didn't agree with them, you can understand their point of view given that we were having to put up with the likes of Bolasie week in week out.

As regards Vlasic, it seems like you've made your mind up already on him. Personally I hope he does prove himself good enough for us and the same with Onyekuru. We still have so much rebuilding to do and a limited budget to do it with.

Hopefully with Brands on board and Silva wanting a squad of 25/28 players they can reassess the squad at the end of the season and if Vlasic Henry Etc aregoid enough to be in the squad and in positions to get game time
If as I suspect Silva sees him as an 8 or a 10 there is no point having him in the squad as 4/5 choice
If any of the loan players can prove themselves to be in the top 3 in their respective position then keep them next season if they think they can give them gametime

Why did he keep getting put on the wing?

Is he rapid?

no. not speddy like Bale or Mbappe
kid is physically powerful for his age, and too damn versatile, so every coach is filling some holes on position in squad with him.
I remeber the time when he play as attacker in Hajduk (he was 17 then) simply because in that period Hajduk didnt have ANY fit attacker. and kid hated that, and he was allways saying that he hate playing attacker in public.

btw, I see some people find disturbing his openness in conversation with press (and his father and sister have same characteristic). Get used to it. there is no diplomatic crap in that family, what they say is what they think.

no mate, they are not FAT GIRL for sure ;). Father have gold medal in decathlon and his sister is double world champion in high jump, and they do it without any support from anybody, so they do not owe anything to anyone, they've all done it themselves, so when they speak, they speak what is on their mind.

personally, I like that.
