United eyes on Krasic

He looks really good, but we already have Valencia, who is also pacy but one-footed
 
Great goal and not the first time I've seen him score from that kind of range. He also scored a very impressive hat trick last season in a match I watched. We're going to be kicking ourselves for not getting him last summer I feel. Last season Madrid were sniffing round him and CSKA were asking for around £20 million for him. He's worth it but a year on he's a more high profile player and they'll surely be asking for more.
 
i agree - looks very very good when i've watched him play

can he play left as well as right though?? if nani was on his way out i could see him possibly coming in...

at the minute giggs, nani, obertan, valencia, park and with llajic arriving it means we have a lot of strength in depth out wide and i think someone (most likely nani) will have to leave if anyone is to come in
 
Man I was on my way home from work so I missed the second half. What I saw in the first half was amazing though, he is just so direct and scares the life out of defenders. Seriously can't believe how much better he has improved in 2 years. I can say without any bias that he is one of the worlds top wingers now, big club come and get this guy NOW.

We have a few Serbians on here who I am sure have seen him a lot more than I have. Maybe they'll have seen him play on the left at an earlier point in his career... But I dont think he's played on the left for CSKA or Serbia. He hasnt in any of the matches I've seen him play for either side in the past year. One of the most dangerous right wingers around who isnt named Ronaldo or Messi though.

Funny.

You can't be serious, he cannot be considered that highly if he hasn't done it for a bigger club and for a longer period in time.

Bigger club is your only argument. Internationally he was our best player in the WCQ and he has been on fire for the last season. It's not like theirs a shit load of good right wingers ATM either.

Krasic has 3 goals in 5 CL games this season too.
 
Krasic is crap. I wouldn't want him at United even if he is on a free transfer.


Its not true, I just want to piss Vuc off.

It's not my argument alone I'm sorry.If he can do that on a bigger scale then fair dues but otherwise he isn't among the best wingers in the world like you said.
So many players have done well in certain circumstances but when they change it to a bigger level some just can't make it.If Krasic can reproduce that playing for a big european club then he'll be like you described.
I for one wanna believe you're not biased when it comes to serbian players but I'm starting to doubt now
 
Would be great if we could sell Nani and Tosic and get this player.

Fair enough, my basis was not on soley form for CSKA but the fact that he has played well in every game this season in the CL - the highest level of European football. Not too mention was our best NT player in the WCQ.

I won't be surprised if he gets picked up in Jan now. We will pick up this debate again when/if he reproduces the form for a big club.
 
Modric came from Zagreb, who coincidentally sold Igor Biscan to Liverpool. Biscan was a bit shit, so if I'm following your logic, we ought to be cautious about Modric the Midget?

Gotcha.
 
Watching Jo today, who City paid £20M for, from CSKA, is nowhere near top 4 quality.

Maybe just a warning, for whoever fancies Krasic.

What does City having overpaid for Jo have anything to do with Krasic's ability ?

Yeah, so? What does Jo have to do with Krasics ability?

Should top 4 clubs stop signing players from the Russian league because Jo hasn't been good enough?

Sometimes your signings turn out good(Vidic), sometimes they don't.

Krasic has been great in the CL, and was Serbias best player in the qualifying campaign in which they won their group ahead of France. There's not much more he could do to get signed buy a top club in Europe.

Just one little flaw in your logic...

City overpay for EVERYONE.

Krasic has been proving himself in the CL this year and was arguably Serbia's top player in the World Cup Qualifying. Not even counting Krasic's form in Russia.
 
Prem interest in Krasic

Milos Krasic's agent has stated that the player looks set to move to England in January.

Manchester United have most recently been linked with the Russian star, while Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are also said to be interested in the 25-year-old.

Krasic is also wanted by teams in Italy but they limit the amount of non-EU players, which is not an issue for Premier League clubs.

"I think that if Krasic leaves CSKA in January, he is 90 per cent likely to go to England," Dejan Joksimovic told Calciomercato.

"Manchester United? There are three or four big English clubs, with important financial resources, interested in him."

Both AC and Inter Milan are also reported to be keen on the highly-rated Serb but Joksicmovic admits a move to Serie A would be difficult in January.

"I don't know anything about Inter while I heard something about AC Milan a month ago through my partner, but nothing concrete," he continued.

"In January it is much more probable the English track will be followed, also because there aren't problems about extra EU players.

"If Krasic won't leave in January, in the summer Italy could return as a possibility.

"And if Milan were to come forward, it would be an excellent solution for Milos, no doubt about it."

City it is then.

Would be a good move for him as well I'd say.
 
Most likely City, Liverpool won't have any money to spend and Chelsea, Arsenal and us are unlikely to buy someone who can't play in the CL.
 
Why City and why would not playing CL football be a good move for him?

At any rate he won't be playing the CL if he swaps clubs in January. On the mid to long term City is as good an option as anyone really, and they have a good chance to finish in the top 4 this season. Besides there's little contention yet so he gets time to adapt, massive means, they are bound to buy two of his compatriots too with Subotic and Aleksic.

I'd hate to see him there mind

He's just not an Ancellotti or Wenger player, both very rarely buy wingers of his type, Liverpool are a possibility if they find the cash from somewhere but that doesn't seem all that likely and we've just spent £17m on Valencia.

It'd be a step forward, he's still establishing himself fully as a player good enough for the very best, so if he can't get a move to a top team at a top league he can just go a step below for now.

Aleksic was a lock but he couldn't get a work permit. Who knows what kind of deal they have with Vojvodina, I'd prefer Aleksic to go to Holland/Spain though, to aid in his development.
