Re: How good is Orsic
He certainly looks a good talent, he’s got a good record in the European tournaments.
I guess the only downside is he has played the majority of his career in considerably worse leagues.
Let’s hope we have found a gem (certainly looks like he could be from videos)

Key for me is translating the tweets from Dinamo fans. Universally adored.

Yep he’s been their star man, they love him. I think he’s going to be a huge success here (if we get it across the line).jedi_master wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 12:37 pmKey for me is translating the tweets from Dinamo fans. Universally adored.
Interested to know whether this means a slight change in system as most of his work is done on the left wing. If we get a new striker in then possibly we look to use McNeil in CAM with Orsic left and Cornet right.

He can shoot.
That would put him in our top two players straight away.

Just like Cornet, if only we would play 343, neither would need to and we might start scoring.

Re: How good is Orsic
If I was a premier league left back and I saw the team sheet with McNeil lining up as an inverted winger, I’d think all my Christmas’ had come early.
Edit. That was a reply to mala re McNeil at RW.

Re: How good is Orsic
Initially I'd guess Orsic plays number 10 and Cornet plays left wing because he's got a better understanding of the tracking back expected.
Dwight has switched to the right before, his last goal was from the right at Everton , he's only scored twice since the start of last season (56 appearances). I'd be very surprised if both Orsic and Cornet play the full 90 from the start so at some point Dwight will be able to switch back to the left and JBG or Lennon can come in on the right.
What we're still missing is a target man though, I'd be surprised if we are planning on relying on Jay Rod and Barnes.
If Orsic is only costing 7m (presumably spread over a number of years) surely that means that we've still got dry powder for a target man?

Re: How good is Orsic
Edit timed out so here is my original post (more or less)
He’s a perfect example of a right footed player playing as an inverted winger on the left. Move the ball inside and you’re perfectly balanced for a powerful shot on goal.
Dyche has tried it with McNeil on the right but it hasn’t really worked out so far. Still worth persisting with though imo as it offers more options on our weak right hand side.

Re: How good is Orsic
The question should be how good is he going to be? As for Mcniel i think he will be our future number 10, when he’s been left to wander he looks a real star.

I think your right, everything seems to be pointing to McNeil moving into a central role. I think this will transform our team for the better.Stockbrokerbelt wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:21 pmThe question should be how good is he going to be?

Re: How good is Orsic
I posted that we'd had a bid accepted and looked likely to sign him on another forum I frequent and this was one of the responses from someone who watches a lot of European football:
What the ****? Orsic would singlehandedly save Burnley from relegation. Top8 on for next year too.
This is like signing Cornet, but better. Not sure why aren't better clubs after him? Does he have a gambling/drinking/temper problem?

Re: How good is Orsic
Maybe Mike Garlic has agreed to pay off his gambling debts?
Re: How good is Orsic
Absolutely agree. Aside from his own qualities of receiving the ball and driving with it, having an eye for the pass and finding space, it gives the central midfielders better passing options and means they don’t get as overrun v the many 3s they are up against in this league.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:23 pmI think your right, everything seems to be pointing to McNeil moving into a central role.

Re: How good is Orsic
I love these threads, in which we all confidently predict that with the personnel we now have, we are bound to play with a No 10
Even though I 100% agree with all of this, we will still line up 4-4-2 against Watford

Re: How good is Orsic
Doesn’t come with the same pedigree as Cornet.
Last time Orsic played in a top 5 league in Europe was 2014.
However he certainly looks a talent, let’s hope he is as good as that post suggest.

Re: How good is Orsic
Got his own chant already, so must be good.
Rhythm is a dancer,
Orsic is the answer,
You won’t stop him if you dare.
He Came from Croatia.
To be Burnley’s saviour.
Scoring goals from everywhere.

Re: How good is Orsic
Talk about Left field - what happened to Utah Al's algorithm?
We need a 22 year old striker from La Liga and we've got a 29 year old Left winger from La K Liga.
The algorithm clearly hasn't computed.
Still at least it's something and his stats for Dinamo are impressive.

All this “ the fans love him” means Jack , Defour was getting bottles of P1ss thrown at him at Anderlect before we signed him . Admittedly the injury prone 2 goal Twix loving Belgian was no Messi but still .

However, Lyon fans were not keen on maxwel and look how that’s turned out.

Re: How good is Orsic
Assuming this comes off, I’d still be expecting at least a striker and a central midfielder - it’d be silly to expect more though we probably do need it, subject to being able to move one or two on.AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 7:55 pmI guess an attacking quick mid is exactly what we need so looking good .

If we can sign what we need for less than we sell that’s a good model.
