Snoop Robbie Rob Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Had a nosey, but haven't managed to find a thread on this rather underrated player. I know most will say 'never Madrid quality', but it was late in January, I needed versatility after messing up on signing Albin, I didn't want to spend much but I wanted a decent passing midfielder. He seemed to tick all boxes, he cost me £3m without negotiating (scout report said £1.7m, but they asked for £3m and I was desperate). Anyway, I signed him purely to play in the league so Alonso could play the big European games at 100% and he did not disappoint. He managed to grab a few assists and scored a screaming first goal, I've played him in central midfield as either an advanced playmaker (support) or a deep lying playmaker, I've not tried him out wide as I like quick players out wide. Anyway, he's a good, versatile player with some tidy PPM's, he plays across the midfield, he's cheap and he has solid potential, I won't put any spoilers up, those who comment can do that if you like.

Rubentus_Juventus Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 bought him for Bolton, freak! I used him as a Advanced playmaker support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Amazing player for ALL teams. No matter who you are, he will be a great signing. Back-up for United, Star player for Portsmouth or as you said, a versatile player for Madrid. He will always perform! Great that you created a thread on him.

Snoop Robbie Rob Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 I agree. Well, I bought him to play in central midfield, he was paired with either Moussa Sissoko or Lass Diarra, so it was all about his ability. As you can see, his technique, anticipation, passing, first touch and creativity all support his style of play. He's good, he regularly 'picks the lock' and he can be bought for dirt cheap.

Fraggle497 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Background on this guy: Starts off at NK Dinamo Zagreb with some other hot shot croatians such as mario madzukic, andrej kramaric, ivan tomekac and Dejan lovern. Is a natural AM LRC and can play in every role in the player roles section. If you don't get him in the first season his value sky rockets and one of the big clubs will come in for him. Play him predominatly as an AMC in the inside fwd or advanced playmaker role on attack duty and he will score and pull the strings. For prem teams you MAY need a work permit appeal, i'm not sure as i usually don't buy non-EU/not guarenteed a WP players as i hate losing 3 years on their career to a polish team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Robbie Rob Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 how he performs at inside forward? I've never tried. I think he'd be more suited to 'advanced playmaker' if he's being used on the left, but you might want to put his crossing down to 'sometimes', or whatever suits you. Just buy him and give him a go, I'm sure he'll do well. He has 'places shots' and 'curls ball' as his PPM's I THINK, so he may do well cutting inside.

You're right, some of his teammates look like exceptional players, Kramaric looks good and I'm sure I've seen him at big clubs on older patches, whilst that quick right back/midfielder looked good, as well as the young centre half.

I had a dinamo save and badelj, lovern, tomekac, mandzukic and kramaric were the spine for me, a bit like LFC's old spine (Torres, gerrard, alonso, macherano, carra and reina), the key players are so consistent and work rather well. Dinamo are one of the best youth producing teams in the game and the world. If you look at some of the NK Dinamo graduates you can see how good they are: Luka Modric, Verdan Corluka, Dario Srna, Eduardo. Even if your scout might rate some as only 1.5/2 star, always take a chance on a dinamo player as they start with state of the art youth facilities and youth academy iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
outtasync Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I bought him in season 1 with Birmingham primarily because he is natural in both AMC and MC so that I can have him as my main creative CM and also act as backup for my AMC Hazard, and he's proved to be an ample replacement. Despite his good performances and looking great stat wise (can't remember if he's two footed as well), my ass man doesn't rate him well: 2.5 stars and iirc 3 stars being the average standard for your squad. It's probably due to his CA/PA though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoop Robbie Rob Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I will post another screenshot of him on mine. I actually ended up selling him, not because he wasn't good enough, but he was a foreign player and eastern Europeans take years to get the EU nationality, in Spain they do anyway. I sold him for £20m, but I did have three offers of £25m+, only for Milan to not meet his contract demands, same with Bordeaux. A £17m profit (should have been more) in two and a half seasons can't be argued, a decent signing who helped fund my move for Yoann Gourcunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llew_Arshavin23 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Signed this guy last night on my Man City save. For a bargain £1.3 million.

Fusss Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I signed him first season with Birmingham for £975k, and he bacame quality.
