Milan Aleksic - Confirmed


it's quarter to nine on a Saturday morning, did I spell it wrong?
There was nothing wrong with the spelling mate.
You not impressed?
It's another hopeful punt, nothing more.

We need numbers in that position so it's a good signing in that respect but he's going to be 6th choice so can't be described as a "brilliant signing" at this moment in time.

I bet most people describing him as that haven't even seen him play. I actually saw a poster last night gushing about him because of the "research" he'd done. :lol:

How can we say he's 6th choice when he's never even played for us yet? It's a lot more than a hopeful punt, it's another £3m spent on a wonderkid who'll be worth a lot of money very soon.

I think hopeful punt is a bit too negative (IMO). For sure there’s an element of hopefulness but obviously there is research that supports it.
I don’t know much at all about the lad but he seems highly rated as a youngster and has already made stand out contributions to the senior team.
I would imagine he’s not one to demand a starting place immediately but there’s nothing wrong with planning for the future especially when we already have a strong midfield.

You think he'll start ahead of any of the other 5 players we now have in that position?

And how many times have you seen him play?
 
Anyone else noticed his position in his last game? 😂

At this moment in time that's all he is IMO. He's been bought on potential.

And you'd like to think that every player we sign is backed up with research?

No of course not, but he could well turn out to be better than some of our midfielders, but it'll take some doing!
I've seen clips of him play and he really does look like a very good player, but it's RLB who's been tracking him for a while and I trust his judgement. What I am seeing is that RLB is the best scout we have. Competition, a good investment, lots of positives with this signing imo.

RLB deffo has the Wenger about him in the recruitment side of things

Instead of saying a hopeful punt, you now say he’s been bought on potential. That sounds much more optimistic and I fully agree with you.

So you also think he'll be 5th/6th choice then?

You can't judge a player based on video clips. Surely we've learned that by now?

And maybe you've overrating Le Bris at the moment? It's been a really encouraging start but let's not start going overboard.

For the record, I don't think Aleksic is a bad signing but don't think there's any way he can be described as a "brilliant signing" right now.

Different words, same meaning.
