Punk77 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The lad was brilliant today. Nice ball control, and once again he delivered a precise cross which Best would have converted if it wasn't for Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Did he score today? What was it like? A well hit through ball from Raylor which Sammy(?) picked up on the leeds' right side foul line. He played it back to Vukic inside Leeds box. He smashed it home between keeper's legs. Nice play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintdempsey Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Good interview with Haris up on NufcTV. He seems a really good lad. His enthusiasm for the game shines through and you can tell that he absolutely loves it right now. It's nice to see the spirit of the young lads IMO, balances up the doom & gloom of this pre-season a fair bit. Gets a wee bit boring just listening to rants from senior pros and various fans slagging each other and/or the club off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hope he stays fit, could play a bigger part than expected this season. Sounds promising anyway, could be starting to look the player he was talked up as Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Great to see him come over to the fans at full time when everyone else headed down the tunnel and give his shirt to an old bloke in the crowd. He looked genuinely chuffed when he scored too, he acknowledged and celebrated with the fans again. Absolute class act on and off the pitch this lad.

Guest je85 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Fingers crossed he can get a good injury free spell racking up plenty of 1st team sub minutes and even some full cup games perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my gripes though, when players bugger off down the tunnell without so much as an acknowledgement. Like to think that genuinely our players have reasonable rapport with the fans. As for Haris, I just really hope he doesn't get another injury. Looking like it could be his breakthrough year this season, he has the talent and attitude to make the most of his opportunity it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I had actually written Vuckic off as a failure until a month ago. Now I think we should defo play a 4-4-1-1 formation even if Barfa is injured with Wee Harry behind Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think we should defo play a 4-4-1-1 formation even if Barfa is injured with Wee Harry behind Ba. "wee Harry"?? have you seen him, he's a big lad!!! With HBA out and Marveaux looking like he's still not 100% i'd be tempted to play him off the striker(his natural postition) against Arsenal. Once the season gets up and running and HBA and Marveaux are fit i expect Haris to take over from Ranger as the impact sub. As long as he stays fit i think he'll get plenty minutes on the pitch.

p_cowell141 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 After Cabaye, Vuckic's pre-season performances have been genuinely uplifting through all the calamity and chaos. Really hope the lad continues to do well, and presses for a first team spot; it's great seeing someone who has a bit of flair and creativity about him.

Yorkie Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Massively impressed with him over the pre-season. We've seen his eye for goal with three in three (i'm counting Orlando tbh)... but today also showed me that he can be a real team player. As i mentioned in the match thread, he offered himself all over the park and looked to have real drive and purpose on the ball. He's rough around the edges, obviously, but i forget the guy's 18. And that's not only cos he's a bit of a giant. One of the brightest points of pre-season. Don't want to drop into the "it's like another signing" cliche... but given the fact he hasn't played in the first team prior to this season, and given the fact i expect him to this year... it's certainly another 'addition'. I wouldn't be disappointed to see him start off Ba against Arsenal, let's put it that way. But i'd say that's fairly unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If nothing else, he seems to have cemented himself in Pardew's first team squad. Can only be a good thing to have that option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Delighted to see some of the younger talent getting game time this pre-season - Vuckic has certainly been the highlight of them. Just hope it carries into the season. Would love to see him get some game time in the Premier League - test his quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
