Radosav petrovic

[Earlydoors]

Now don't get me wrong, I think Petrovic was pants but how come he's been sold so soon after arriving at the club? Surely, whoever bought him, (and there are mutterings that #SteveKeanOut did not have control of transfers) thought enough of him to give him more than 6 months to settle?

Or are we just a merry-go-round for agents fees?

[Ricky]

I'm guessing from what was said in the podcast it's more a case of him saying that he wanted a move.

Can't do much about that unfortunately.

[Eddie]

He was clearly not first choice and it is probably true that his style of play is not totally suited to the fast and physical nature of the Championship. It's a bit of a shame to see him go as I do think he could have turned into a good player.

[Lurid Coat]

Utter liability. Yes, he played a handful of 40 yard passes that were exquisite, but more often than not he gave the ball away in dangerous positions and had the pace of a slug. It wouldn't surprise me if he'd more assists for opposing teams than Rovers. Still, he might have come good (or at least decent) under a different manager than Nobbo

[AJW]

any fee?

[Roverdale]

Its Radosav Petrovic.. No L.

I thought he might have been a good player given a year to settle and some regular game time. Unfortunately we don't really have the time or quality around him to allow that.

Good luck to him in the future

[pick32]

Good passer but lacked pace and wasn't suited to English leagues.

Haha..yes, I remember one excellent throughball for Arsenal

[G Somerset Rover]

He was dreadful and never up to the pace of English football. He could barely run.

Good riddance.

[roverandout]

probably end up going to barcelona for 35 million in 5 years.

[Ferrit]

Absolutely dreadful player, happy to be rid.

[Commondore]

He clearly wasn't suited for British football, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him make it big in Spain or Italy in a few years time. I sincerely hope the transfer included a sell on-fee.

[stpbrown]

the worst midfielder to wear the famous blue and white halves that I can remember

Told you after a couple of games he wasn't good enough Eddie.

[Eddie]

I still believe that he will go on to have a successful career and that he could make it in the Premier League. He was in-and-out of the side, played alongside different partners of varying quality in a side that lacked any real shape or clear tactical approach and was often asked to play different roles from game-to-game. He's still young, he's still learning and I hope that he has better luck in Turkey.

[rebelmswar]

Fifty times the manageial skill of Kean and we let him go?

[Rovers_Dan]

pretty poor really but i expect go on and do well in turkey.

he was better than vincenzo grella though.

[The Rover of Finland]

Normally these players are difficult to get rid of.

Off subject but is Grella still with us and still injured?

[Eddie]

His contract expired at the end of last season and he left the club.

Thanks, well I feel a little better now. That bloke stole for a living more than Dick Turpin!!

[braddock]

Shame the fans never gave him a chance. He'd have been very useful in this league.

[Ricky]

I know you're fishing Bradock, thats what all your posts are about.

But despite my better judgement I'll bite.

I don't think it was ever a chance of the fans not giving him a chance. He was poor last season. I thought he'd be ok in the Championship but he was always going to be behind Etuhu. He wanted to move on, very little we could do about it.

[braddock]

He had a poor start and the fans went for him. His confidence was shot.

It took a bit of luck during one game where he ended up doing a phenomenal piece of skill by half falling over the ball, the fans held off the booing, he got a clap and he started showing a little bit of what he could do. It was all too late by then though. Shows what a bit of confidence can do though. Had the fans been more encouraging he may (though not necessarily) have settled better.

Sorry totally disagree. I actually think he will end up being a reasonable player in the right team - but his main problem in the Premiership was his lack of pace and aggression. Murphy has more pace and aggression than Petrovic (though it is very much a snail race) - but even he has struggled to adapt to the Championship - IMO it would have been worse for Petrovic.
