Did anyone actually watch sucic play today?
I have no idea if he played well or not but just because he was 0 for 6 for long balls doesn’t tell me the whole picture. cherry picking negative stats are for trolls on the internet. Yes 0 for 6 isn’t good but is that’s all to soccer. And I didn’t know sucic long ball is all he has to offer?
Vuskovic probably won every header today but was daydreaming on the goal Hamburg conceded that won’t come up sofa score.
1- Most important thing when you haven’t played in a long time and get a start is don’t be a liability. It was 1-0 for real at time he got subbed out that’s good.
2- He played 70 minutes, he hasn’t started a game I think since September and has t played past 60 the two times he started again since September so that’s the first time he played 70 mins since last season. Again good sign.
He may have been terrible I don’t know but based on when he got subbed he probably played ok. Also Levante is a la liga team last time I checked who cares where there in the table.
Sucic since he’s been at Real played as a #8 more than #10. Real don’t play with a true 10 most systems they have played are 4-1-4-1 or 4–3-3.
At 23 sucic probably won’t reach the heights of kova or Brozo but he can still become a player who is slightly above average and that’s good for the repka. Time will tell I won’t be surprised either way failure or success.
have you sought help for your cyclothymia vlado?
if not, you should
we all worry about you
if we talk about vuskovic, i was exactly correct
If he was 6’7’’, no chance to ever be elite
It looked like he was on that trajectory
Somehow it looks like he’s still just 6’4’’?
Which is certainly serviceable but even at this height we’ll see him struggle to cover players on the ground
Mickey van de Ven and Virgil van Dijk are both in the 193-195 cm range..
Do they struggle because of that?
Looks like Budimir got a couple goals today.
That’s great to hear. He had slowed down in his goal production, and we need him to get back on a scoring streak as World Cup nears.
One was just a penalty (tho well taken) but the first one was a pretty sweet first-time strike.
Maminjo was super high on sucic. Like most of our young guys. I like his analysis many times but definitely wears the homer glasses
I guess you were right. He’s just too tall to ever have a meaningful footballing career.
Sutalo update
All the Ajax ITK say they desperately want to sell him (and Taylor)
The problem is nobody wants to buy Sutalo so they can’t offload him
x.com/frenkieflow/status/2001948379082039722?s=46
There is no doubt that Sutalo has had a poor season. But this is still pretty tough on our brother Sutalo, maybe a little too tough, and perhaps a few extra words might provide some additional context:
All the Ajax ITK say they desperately want to sell him (and Taylor) BECAUSE THE DUTCH TEAM HAS FEW VALUABLE ASSETS AND IS IN NEED OF MONEY. SUTALO AND TAYLOR WERE TWO OF THE TEAMS BEST PLAYERS LAST SEASON, AND ARE TWO OF THEIR MOST VALUABLE ASSETS.
The problem is nobody wants to buy Sutalo AT THE PRICE AJAX IS DEMANDING so they can’t offload him.
Wedding boy update
Last week Goal vs 3rd tier side in the Cup (where he was falling over and the keeper missed an easy save)
Today 70’ vs.2nd tier Levante side and zero shots and 0 for 6 on long passes (his only attributes)
This tells us 2nd tier is too high – so maybe 3rd tier he can do but uncertain and doubt it – more likely and realistically he belongs in 4th tier or below
Can you imagine how embarrassed Dalic must be that he ever called him up to begin w?
Jakic appears to have left the Augsburg game with an injury this morning. Any news about it, anybody see what happened?
WOW WOW WOW
PINK PANDUR ANOTHER SHUT-OUT !!!
HULL TIED FOR 3RD !!!
ONLY FIVE POINTS BACK FROM AUTOMATIC PROMOTION TO PREM !!!
WOW WOW WOW
L sucic with the start.
@ Anonymous I thought you and dalic were teaching vuskovic the proper way? Raising your hands in disbelief after conceding goals
That’s wedding boy sucic symptoms going on there? You guys need to give a call after game.
17′ nice track back by Jaga
Imagine Bati or Wedding Boy ever doing that lol
Anonymous has also sent a note to Belupo medical staff / trainers telling them if Jaga ever needs that freezing/magic spray – that they need to actually spray it directly to his skin (not on top of compression shorts like they did to Bozic’s hip – it’s not going to magically travel thru the compression material to skin – pretty basic stuff)

Nope, don’t think you were being too critical. I agree with you Baturina was guilty on both counts in the build up to Roma’s goal. Typical Bati defending there.😂 Pretty sure Cesc wouldn’t have missed that too when he watched the replay, especially the second “mistake”. But you mentioned earlier he helped to prevent a goal in the first half, so I guess that’s an improvement at least. Hope he did okay in other parts of the game.
@Vlad
Correction was born in Karlovac but plays for NK Bukovčan Veliki Bukovec in Veliki Bukovec a small village and municipality in the Varaždin County.
I’m keeping my cards close to my chest to avoid any pressure on this young future studd but rest assured he will be a future asset 😉
Seeing online that most likely jaga is worth a 6 mill transfer
Someone will most likely get the best investment for ages for that club if they pull it off
Jagusic seems to have good people around him.
He didn’t jump to join Dinamo (even with the promise of more money) and likely won’t do the same to sign with some big club (who will likely not start him or just irresponsibly loan him out).
I could see him going to the Bundesliga, but not Bayern or Borussia. Maybe Serie A.
@Vlad
My apologies my dear comrade, I’ve been sitting with Dalic pre scouting our future talent, hence my absence.
It saddens me that since my departure the nose pickers have been left without my well trained eye and nose test.
It also seems, there is charlatan, a fake parading around in embarrassment trying to emulate my greatness but you will know the difference very quickly.
The next phenom to enter the circles of super Croatian 🇭🇷 stardom is a player I’ve been personally scouting for Dalic.
All I can say for now is he plays in Karlovac for NK Bukovčan Veliki Bukovec.
Keep your eyes ready and be amazed when the Mighty Anonymouse prediction is fully unveiled.
” Experience helps one write a book about soccer and is successful in a library. To play it on the pitch you need youth on your side to execute, and enough talent coated in belief that you can win, …… experience goes so far.”, Pletikosa was heard to whispered under his breathe which no one heard, but then clearly screamed the message to the masses on the pitch back in 2014.
Play Vuskovic, Jagusic, the salary values and outside interest don’t lie.
With that said still I believe Luka Sucic, will come around. Sometimes you have to go counter intuitive.
I agree outside interest on the internet is def the way to tell if a player is legit. So many teams we’re rumoured to be interested in Fruk like arsenal, man united teams from Italy and now it looks like the winner might be Sahatar from Ukraine again all speculation Which def means all those rumours were true!
Agreed.
Let’s be hopeful he can turn it around.
He destroyed Midjtylland in Europa League last year. He has shown a very high level of ability. Liverpool was interested in Luka Sucic last season, and for good reason.
The Basque team had not been going well under that new coach this season, and Luka S in particular struggled. Maybe a different coach, or a loan to a different club, will allow him the opportunity to get back on track in the New Year.
I just got my glasses so I can now see the light!
@ anonymous
I have to rely on your great knowledge. I’m so lucky you let us all know of certain players like Vuskovic and Jagusic I can’t believe no one has ever talked about them before ESP in Croatia they came out of nowhere? So weird!
Can you PLEASE tel me who’s the next hidden gem? But make sure it’s someone who hasn’t been talked about for the past 5 years.
Thanks,

Jaga must be at least quarter billion
Luka Vuskovic TM value now 40m !!!
22m increase in 2 months since October !!!
ANONYMOUS EYE TESTS ARE THE BEST THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN !!!
BIPOLAR VLAD LEGALLY BLIND !!!
But livakovic dropped from 11m to 4m.
Jakic from 9m to 6m
Gvardiol from 75m to 70m
Kramaric from 4 to 3
That’s an absolute bargain for Krama…I’m surprised he never really got offers from bigger teams (at least none that I heard of).
Yeah 3-4 mill for krama is probably one of the best values in football
Especially now with massive game experience
He was always rumored to go to bigger teams like AC Milan, but he was content in his role at Hoffenheim.
I like how this Anonymous bloke talks.. cracks me up but he is spot on!
