2018/19 Nikola Vlasic

[Groucho]

In two weeks in three games....CL against Victoria Plzen,goal and assist for 2:2,in derby of Russian league goal for 1:1,CL goal for victory over Real Madrid 1:0.
Let's say that he continues playing on that level in CL,lets say that CSKA passes group stage of CL....Vlasic after recent games for shore will be playing for Croatian national team agains England in LN at 12 October
(after desaster with Spain,Dalic needs some fresh blood in team)and than we see him against 'PL players'
The best what Everton will get from Vlasic is couple millions + ,cos after this season
he won't be back on Goodison Park as Everton player.

Ok so he scored last night.

What I saw of him with my actual own eyes didn’t make me want him to stay at Everton.

In fact to me he looked crap in the U.K.

Oh and feel free to post in a non-Vlasic related thread.

Top star in the making.

Sums Everton up when this lad is scoring against real Madrid in the champions League and we are going out tamely in the league cup the very same night.

If we aren't planning next season with him as a part of it then why are we even bothering

We have loaned to get experience, not sold him.
If we want him he comes back to us.
It sounds like a brilliant loan where he gets loads of top class experience.
The very least that it seems to be doing is increasing his value , the problem was that he was put into our first team far too early and found it difficult when he was taken out and excluded.

..i’m not sure that is the case. I like the fella but he was an acquisition from another regime and Silva was quick to move him on. Players might come in and push him further back in the queue. I only think he’ll come back if he produces consistently top drawer performances and even then it might be more about increasing his value.

"A couple millions" how much?

And again, some People still dont belive that kid is "Premiership materijal".
Yes, goal come after Kroos mistake, but look Vlasic movement before that mistake, and his prediction od situation. That kid "read game" as we Croats says. Than look his movement with ball when two Real playera tried to put himna on "sandwich". And finally his finish.
And je isto hungry, wich lots od current Everton Squad is not.
And another thing, je is newcomer im CSKA, he is on loan there, but on same time his teammates give him a ball to shoot penalty on last minute.
Enough?
Go comment cricket.

Lets see how he performs over the season...at the moment he looks very good.

Think he went and asked for a loan move after Silva told him he wasnt able to guarantee regular games as he would be competing with Gylfi and Dowell.

If he does well then he will be given another chance i think...and with his performances...if they continue at this level...he should be confident.

He is one of the reasons why I would go easier on the youngsters. Most players would struggle at Everton right now.

I think our fans have been extremely harsh in their judgement of him. He was one of the only players who performed to a reasonable standard during Koeman's time during the 17-18 season. He did that being a young lad of 19/20 who was inexperienced in the league. Unsworth came in and decided he'd rather give the young players he knew from the U23's a chance, and unfairly left Vlasic out repeatedly. This is where I think Vlasic's sister didn't help things by tweeting etc and I do think there is an over inflated ego that runs in the family, likely due to his sister having her own impressive athletic career (a Croatian record holder and World indoor Champion at the High Jump).

Allardyce continued where Unsworth left off by opting for the young English lads who "work hard" like Calvert Lewin and Davies, rather than giving the younger flair players like Vlasic and Lookman a go. Understandably Vlasic didn't produce magic when he was given a chance after being left to rot on the bench for about 8 games at a time and with the team in poor form.

I still sense a misplaced (in the sense that he has achieved little in his career so far) arrogance from him and the family though with their comments in the media. They need to show a bit more professionalism and respect to Everton Football Club but in judging his personal frustrations, I think he's justified.

He's now proving us wrong scoring goals on the biggest stage against the CL winners and World's biggest club, while we're still persisting with hard working young players and quite clearly getting very little benefit from them at this moment.

A No 10 or more likely an 8 but doesn’t do the defensive part of an No 8
Hard to say really where he would fit in Silvas 4/3/3 unless it’s at 10

I mean, Silva isn't playing a 4-3-3 at the moment

Silva needed to get a lot done quickly this summer in getting a lot of players out, some of his own players in and make savings on wages at the same time.
The squad was already too big and he could not keep rotating the team continuously as we saw last night.

I do agree that most of the players loaned out will not be coming back, I think Vlasic and Robinson may be the two exceptions.

he chose number 8 for different reason

[Carlito]

Still baffles me that he was packed off. He was one of the few bright sparks in the first half of last season.

No but that’s his preferred formation

Not so much the number but the position

He was utterly dire.
