Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

They want €40 million for someone who barely gets a start with them, has ‘flopped’ and who they only paid €35 million for?

They are having a laugh.

Outrageous money, if Paratici agrees to anything like this he needs to be investigated.

 

[Mr Pink]

This is where the publicity of the last few days can sting.

Selling Clubs know the Club is under pressure...like can smell the desperation almost.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

With Morata in the team Kane could function as our de facto playmaker in the number 10 position. Could be a shrewd
acquisition.

Kulusevski..... his highlight compilations are among the worst I`ve seen. He comes across as both slow and cumbersome, far worse than Yarmalenko. I`d be very surprised if he is an improvement on what we already got.

You need to press the fast forward button when you watch highlights. Lifts your mood and your confidence in the player everytime.

Does seem steep doesn’t it, especially for someone who you wouldn’t say is a guaranteed starter.

Feel like we could use that money on someone more established & proven.

Just feels like a signing for signings sake. A loan without a guarantee is fine for a stop gap - id rather just bring in a couple of stop gaps then just go big in the summer.

All underwhelming

 

[EastUpperDK82]

I have seen people comparing his playing style to Gylfi Sigurdsson and whilst that is not too far off I would say that Kulusevski reminds me more of a better version of Dwight McNeil.

Ginger McNeil ??

A lot of Juve fans here seem to mention his lack of pace: https://www.juventuz.com/threads/dejan-kulusevski.44222/page-150

Fucking hell ?

Juventus fans largely hate this guy, not just a few, they pretty much all think he sucks. There are a few Swedes on this forum that think he sucks. I don’t think it’s too crazy to suggest that the fans might be right. I’m so confused how anybody is excited by this signing!?

Wow, you canvassed all the juve fans for their opinions?
That's pretty impressive.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Hmmm. ?

Its just posturing, happens in all negotiations, Juve will be trying to squeeze as much as they can , im sure a happy medium will be reached

 

[Nodutus]

I like Kulusevski a lot, probably more than most but no way he is worth 40 mil. Absolutely no chance.

Have you ever seen single males in a club 30 minutes before closing?

 

[Trix]

Well, of course. You will get certain players where it's blatantly obvious there is a talent. Like when Ronaldo made his debut for United.

But there are a lot of players who fall in the category of which they are hard to define. Instead, they often get branded 'shit' by the typical fan.

Btw. I had a look on that forum and I saw a lot of people calling him names. Do you think these people have the ability to judge a footballer when they can't even refrain from handing out insults?

*Thinks back to some of my Winks remarks*

https://www.juventuz.com/threads/dejan-kulusevski.44222/page-150 I didn’t need to canvas all the spurs fans to know we all thought Sissoko sucked. I really hope they are wrong.

 

[ohh_when_the_spurs]

Lads, it's OK, I just watched a YouTube clip and he is better than Diaz

 

[rossdapep]

*Thinks back to some of my Winks remarks*

But that's cause you have insight into the player's behaviour...?

 

[NeckOil]

Can he be any worse than Lo Celso or Alli? If the answer to that is no then bring him in on loan and then we have probably improved the squad

 

[TheAmerican]

Chadli MK2

If he provides a similar goal output as dolphin he would serve a decent enough porpous.

A large portion of Swedes think Zlatan is and always been poor while simultaneously hailing Thomas Brolin as a legend.
Sweden is filled with lowkey racists who can't accept that Swedens footballing talents aren't "true swedes". Isak has had to endure the same and couldn't get a start in the NT ahead of Marcus Berg for a long time despite being sensational in both Eredivise and La Liga. Kulusevski was behind Seb Larsson for the whole Parma-season.

I say this as a Swede myself. There've been several other Swedes on here who are excited by this move as he has most of the tools we're lacking in our front line. I'm not saying he's a guaranteed success but I absolutely think he could become fantastic for us.
