[Archived] Simon Vukcevic (AM)

[Tom]

I think it's poor that the website hasn't even made reference to him yet from what I've seen

Well, they needed reminding about Jack's anniversary, didn't they?

[Tom]

Officially signed and into the squad tomorrow.

He will have number 29 and have 'Simon' on his back. Suprised the FA are allowing him and Bruno to do that

[BiggusLaddus]

They did allow Juninho as well.

Perhaps we were short on V's.

I TOLD YOU.

[chaddyrovers]

Welcome to rovers Simon Vukcevic. Hope you are a very good player for us1

[Hughesy]

Yes!!! Welcome and can't wait to see him in action, hopefully tomorrow

Foreigner comes into this country, goverment pay his wages....yup seems about right

[Emge]

Finally!

A bit strange though to be given number 29, is it not?

Not that it matters really, but common, a lot of "attractive" numbers available at the moment..

Maybe it was his choice:O

He has previously worn number 77 either at international level or at sporting, so I wouldn't be that surprised if he chose number 29.

Give it a few weeks Chris, or a few months before he starts.

So this is why they sold Niko!

Can't have a Serbian or a Montenegrin in the same team as a Croatian! Either that or they would kick lumps out of each other in training.

What about a bosnian (ibisebvic)

[joey_big_nose]

looking forward to seeing what this fellow can do on one wing with hoilett on the other.... could be great stuff!

Me too - especially if they keep swapping over to cut inside or go outside

[Tom]

Am I right thinking Vukcevic is a set piece specialist? We need an alternative to Pedersen and although Formica and Rochina can take them they don't seem to get the chance.

[roverandout]

do people think he will be involved against everton today?

[bazza]

He was introduced at half time today.

I hope if he has "Simon" on his shirt, it doesn't bring him the bad luck that "Gamst" did for Pedersen.

Gamst isn't his first name!

Anyway, I think Peds thought "Gamst" was bad luck. It turns out he was just on the turn. It's not like his form recovered following his Pedersen re-birth.

[grizfoot]

Very enthusiastic clapping and scarf waving from him today. Nice to see.

[Stuart]

As daft as it sounds (when you are looking for any positive sign to cling on to) I did think he looked confident and assured.

I hope that's what he is like on the ball!

[roverandout]

i was having a drink at halftime, missed it, i was too busy drowning my sorrows.

[Sverre]

Where do you guys see Simon Vukcevic being used ? On paper he should start every match, be it in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 formation.

Is he a replacement for Emerton on the right wing? Or would he be used on the left wing?

With Dann in, Givet could be used as a LB and Olsson pushed up to the left wing... So probably right wing?
