Talented and very hard working player

These links sound like wishful thinking, press reaction to the Pogba injury.

But it’s not unlike us not to lick our lips at the 15m asking price. We love bargain buys. Wouldn’t surprise me if we end up getting him now.

Wouldn't surprise me but if we really wanted him and were going with a system that suited him I think he'd be here already.

Also surprised why teams better than West Ham haven't signed him already also. Maybe he's the sort of player who needs a system.

 

[Gagi]

Coaches love them flashy wingers who can cut inside or full backs that defend, he's none of that. Perfect when given an entire flank, but also very useful in 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 when he has a target man to feed.

He would have suited West Ham’s 3-4-3 perfectly. But I would sign him for that price. And play 3-4-3 ourselves.

Price for that type of player - 16-18m is a bargain! But NO again we will bit for finished exhausted players like Morata and Paredes....

Hope we finish 4th with 0 trophies and get rid of Alegri next summer!

 

[Akshen]

Kostic proposed again at #Juve (who thinks about it) and at #Inter (colder today). The wait in both cases will last 48-72 hours, otherwise the outsider will sign for #WestHam

 

[Bianconero81]

Yes!

 

[Stevie]

Fingers crossed our management have the sense to make this happen

 

[Alin]

This one has to happen for sure, a versatile LM is a must for us and he simply fits the description perfectly, missing out on him when there is no better or cheaper alternative out there would make little sense.

 

[kappa96]

Can he play lb?

 

[Prototype]

If Cuadrado is able to play a FB, see no reason why Kostic couldn't.

 

[Rockets]

Can he play lb?

According to transfermarkt, he didn't.

But , so maybe.

 

[Amer]

Il nuovo Krasic.

Interesting that his goal contribution numbers are considerably worse at LW compared to LM. Of course dont watch Eintracht and have no idea why, but you'd think that being 10-20m further up the pitch improves your attacking numbers

Look at his face man, a bloody terminator like. Guy is a workhorse.

his strength seems to be crossing over dribbling, so it makes sense he’s more efficient from further back.

Yeah he pretty much sounds like a left sided cuadrado tbh.

Easy thing to say. But to back it up? Cuadrado has played RB for almost 5 straight years for us (changed from wing early on).


And started out as RB in lecce and Udinese.



Is there a single season where Kostic has played LB?

Idk but it looks like he was essentially a wingback last season

and in Europa league it was even more balanced
