2018/19 Nikola Vlasic

[deipnosophist]

Oh, thought I was in the Lookman thread ffs.

Once a 'theme' gets momentum, it can be difficult to arrest...particularly when the transfer window is still open. I think we'll be hearing a lot more about homesickness until the window slams shut.

Hes younger than Lookman, Calvert Lewin, Kenny, and moved to a new country at 19. He needs time

If he can go and play regularly in the centre at someone like Newcastle it would be a great move for him

Anyone know why Vlasic was on a flight to Croatia today? Have the players been given the day off, anyone know?

I fear for him a bit if he's heading back to Croatia the day after a pre-season tour, presuming everyone has a day off today. Maybe he isn't settling too well over here, he is still young.

How do you know he's off back to Croatia? Has he posted something?

Friend of a work colleague was on the same flight from Manchester to Croatia earlier. They got a photo with him as they're Everton fans. He looked happy enough and may have been going for any unknown reason, just strange it was immediately after the tour.

Surely he'd fly from Portugal to Croatia?

I can only think he was still on 'club duty' until they got back to the UK... But yeh, strange one. I can't imagine they have more than 1 day off at this stage of preseason and unless it's for family reasons, you'd have thought he'd have seen family during the summer break?

 

[hktoffee]

Loan him to a PL club which can give him playing time then we shall see what happens next summer.

 

[LocalNative]

Strange that's he one of the four frozen out.

Hopefully he gets a full season under his belt on loan rather than selling, think there's a player in there.

 

[when i score we riot]

Doesn't deserve to leave, but might benefit from a "lateral" loan, meaning in the PL or to some other top flight team. I do not understand why he's on the frozen out list, surely he's an asset to play.

 

[Jadubsee]

Hope that if he does go it's on loan and not permanent. Hasn't been given much of a chance here yet.

I think the manager has now narrowed the focus to players he will be using in his squad this season, Vlasic isn't one of those but it might be that he is being loaned out rather than sold... he was underwhelming in preseason.

If I earned premier league wedge and came from abroad, I'd be heading there whenever I could. Wouldn't mean I was unhappy in Liverpool. He may just be visiting family, friends or just misses Croatian cuisine.

Was there not images of Richarlison in his home country a few days ago aswell? Seems much ado about nothing to me.

Can't see many teams in the Prem or Championship being too interested in a player the Silva doesn't see as good enough to even train with the first team squad.Offloading back to Croatia might be the best we can hope for.

 

[Azzurri]

Not bothered really, myself. Doesn’t have the pace and isn’t good enough to make up for it.
