I think he's decent

No offence but you need to think bigger picture. How else were Juve going to afford Vlahovic if they didn't flog some benchies to an old mate?
Let Paratici cook
thought he weighted some nice through balls earlier. still lacks sharpness though. at least when he is central hes looking to do some damage going forward with the ball, would rather have him on the ball in the cam area than lucas or son all day long.
Really not sure about Kulusevski as a wide forward. Seems like he’s more like a Dele type of player, best behind the front 2 or playing off the main striker. We’ll see, I suppose.
It's early and he needs to be given time and gain PL levels of fitness.
However, when he came on against Southampton and Royal (I think) played a ball down the right and he was in a straight foot race with the Soton defender, he looked a plodder. To kill defenders you need pace. I was shocked at how little he appears to have.
Let's hope the fitness coaches do their stuff, but in my view you have explosive acceleration and pace, or you don't. As a youngster he should have it.
I hope he's not a deadline-day signing like Sissoko when anyone will do.
Give him a dozen games to have a fuller assessment. Showed little yesterday (as did everyone else).

No you don't, not in real life. It might help but it isn't the be all and end all.
remember that Italian journo that said it was a myth that he was slow looool.
Kulusnailki shows we really didn't have a plan this window (as usual). We aimed for a fast direct player in Adama...didn't get him and moved on for a similar pacey player in Diaz...didn't get him so got literally the slowest player we could find.

He's 21 and looked decent in his early showings. Can't expect him to be tearing up the league quite yet. Reasonably promising.
He's a £10 million player . It would be mad to pay more.
Most hit the ground twitch then have a nice Rose Bush growing on them a short time later. Dose this await Dejan and will the roses smell as sweet?
Hilariously for the people who want to cut him slack your description sounds like one.......Tanguy Ndombele
Not at all.... As reported before the window opened we had a list of 4 positions.
RWB - Traore.
AM - Kulu <<<< Him playing centrally as he did yesterday makes far more sense.
CM - B'cur.
ST - [Blank]
Diaz we shot for cos he'd been scouted and happened to be available.
The part about us losing out on AT so then shot for Diaz is silly...... Considered for 2 different positions and Diaz actually got sold first!
Kulu has had about an hour..... The Dosser had 2 1/2 seasons.

Agree that it's not the be all and end all, but defenders (especially FB/WBs) hate pace. Of course you need to have basic skills and the football brain that a PL level footballer requires, but if you have pace...
At 21 -22 Kulusevski should be at peak pace/acceleration. Almost no-one gets quicker as they get older.
I was shocked at what I saw against Soton. Surely our scouts can see what us hacks can?
Is the loan fee until the end of this season or next?
