He's so one-dimensional it's not even funny, and I honestly thought he'd turn into this complete striker that leads our attack. His hold-up play is ass, as someone else said, so having him in the line-up offers nothing. He's not a good poacher either, Trezeguet was one and he's a club legend. But he didn't need 5 chances to score.

Not only is he one-dimensional, but he is inconsistent even at the few things he is usually supposed to be good at.

Well taken goal.
He is not that good in this match but sometimes we also should see that our formation, line up, tactics is not support us to win the match.

We need more player like Yildiz, Chico, Cambiasso that have a good ball carrier and progressive run. We cant expect Vlahovic to do this. Since we buy him, we should already know about this. He is more like Lukaku, hold ball, pinpoint pass and move to find a better position.


He is 25 years old now and somehow I agree with this post. He can still be a good player if he have a coach who can play to his strength, for example Lukaku with Conte.

With his goal against Man City still counted for 24/25 season, he already scored 17 goals this season.
Comparing Vlahovic to Lukaku style of play is like comparing Alberto Costa style of play to maicon.
Dont get me wrong i dont like lukaku, but his hold up play is eons ahead of Vlahovic who's first control is abysmal more often than not, he is easily brushed off by mediocre seria a defenders and to top all that off, he's consistenly missing sitters, misses one on ones and has terrible movement in the six yard box

Our last resort is to send Vlahomiss on a costly Galatasaray loan. Maybe €5m loan with them paying his full wages. We'll loose him on a free next season but at this point I don't care about that as long as he's never wasting minutes in a Juventus lineup again. Better to play Adzic and get him playing time, he can only surprise us

Unlike many of our players who struggle with a loser’s mentality, I think Vlahovic’s problem was actually the opposite, his arrogance. I remember back when he was in Fio, he genuinely thought he was better than Haaland! And that exact mindset ruined him. He stopped pushing himself to improve and just plateaued. He’s always carried himself like he’s above everyone else, constantly acting like the club owes him something. He’s one of those players who never really works on fixing his weaknesses and honestly, I think his career is already off track beyond repair. And considering the kind of salary he’s asking for, it’s hard to see him staying in any of the top European leagues. Most likely, he’ll end up in Turkey or Saudi Arabia.

I think this is the case with many strikers tbh. They happen to score plenty of goals and profit off that. But it's hard to point to what exactly make them score goals other than their ability to be in the right place. I mean look a Vlahomiss: what exactly is he good at? What are three abilities?

Yes, they are not exactly the same.
But you can see on the video on how he played before going to us under Fiorentina's Italiano.
He is not as strong as Lukaku in hold up but he can do it and he can pass to the player that support him.
If you are Man Utd fans, you would remember how some fans also ridicule Lukaku's ball control there, but yet he become a good ST under Conte.

He is not the perfect striker but i dont want to undervalue him. We better sell him that he is not suitable for us but he can still flourish somewhere else that he still 25 years old. Hope Vlahovic also understand and have ambition to move elsewhere rather than waiting his contract expired

Yes but dont forget he's earning 12m net, and he cost us around 70m. None of that is his fault, what is his fault however is that he doesnt want to lower his demands for us or any other club, which shows that he doesn't realise how bad he has been and his limitations. He probably believes every single wrong thing he does is the fault of the current situation of our team.
