Pre-season specialist Haris Vučkić joins FC Twente


Recommended Posts

no he didn't :lol:

 

got to say he did look one-paced - was just standing still while the match took place around him as if he was injured, but i don't think he was  :undecided:

 

He looked  sharp and lively first 10 minutes, winning the ball a couple of times and playing it quickly. Some really good touches when it came to him, one in the corner in particular.

 

He doesn't seem to be alert all the time though. One moment he'll be standing still during an attack and another he'll charge the ball down when he probably didn't need to.

Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has confirmed loan signing Haris Vuckic will not be returning to the club.

 

The Slovenia midfielder had hoped to be at Cardiff until the end of the season but has been called back to Newcastle United to cover for injury problems.

 

It is a blow for the Bluebirds who could do with him after suffering a 3-0 home defeat to Hull in midweek.

 

"Newcastle have picked up injuries in the last week which means he now has to be on their bench," said Mackay.

 

"We obviously wanted to keep him.

 

"He is a talented individual who is going on to do very well in his career.

 

"Sometimes these things happen and Newcastle had three injuries that they didn't legislate for.

 

"Haris is a terrific young lad to [have] around the place. He is going to be a real talent."

 

Shame, can't see him getting too many minutes here

And Lovenkrands, just remembered.

 

Doesn't change much surely though?  Vuckic would only play central midfield or just behind a striker, maybe on the wing if we're really pushing it.

 

 

I think the club realise we've lost Lovenkrands and Best, and wanted Ranger gone on loan again.  That would leave Ba, Ameobi, Cisse.  An injury to one, and we're dangerously low on options.  Vuckic is a good option to have.

Best guess is Pardew thinks squads a bit thin for the run in, players are tired from the length of the season so injuries are going to happen and rather desperate to get 5th. We do have a reasonable shout to get 4th if Spurs form continues to be so poor and Chelsea similar. It's a long shot but the players should be playing for that.

Anyone see on Sunday when the camera cut to Pardew and Vuckic was sat on the bench staring silently forwards like a cold Slovenian hitman?

 

They should feel lucky he wasn't unleashed on them.. got big hopes for this guy, hopefully if we make Europe next season he can show everyone what he's all about.
