I couldn't be bothered reading everything Cronios said but its true that Vucinic is never going to be a first rate striker. He's got flare and he can create but on the other hand he's never been prolific and he's notoriously inconsistent. I was a bit pained by the purchase of Vucinic because I know that he probably won't ever improve in those areas of his game and will never be world class for us. It would have been better to buy a young future star. A real Del Piero replacement who's prolific and creative.
His start here hasn't really impressed me either. He's just proved once again that he is neither prolific nor consistent. Good game against Cesena though. I wish he brought that kind of form to the pitch every week but considering his record that's highly unlikely. He was especially good attacking wide and should move there more often.

That's the thing with Vucinic though, his inconsistency. When he is in the mood and is firing on all cylinders, he is devasting and an absolute joy to watch. But when he's bad, he's fucking lazy, uninterested and wasteful. But the thing I like about Mirko is his unpredicatblity and his creative streak, he has the best skillset of all our players bar DP (and maybe Pirlo). He's also pretty versatile.
I don't expect plenty of goals from Mirko, but I'm sure he can provide a whole heap of assists for us. The best is yet to come from this man.
Ive always had a fondness for alzy, crazily skillful, temperamental Balkan bastards like Mirko

All the creativity and skill in the world counts for very little without consistency. Stats don't always tell a players story but they definitely do more so for strikers and Vucinic's stats indicate that he isn't a very effective striker. I prefer the Quagliarella of last season to the Vucinic of this one.
No doubt about that, even though Quagliarella of last season was playing in a more central position closer to goal to this current Vucinic. But I dont disagree with you. Unfortunately, Quags isn't at that level at the moment, but I'm sure with more game time we'll start to see the real Quags again. He definitely needs to get that first goal, and then his confidence will get a huge boost.
i think many underestimate the importance of vucinic in our system.
just rewatch the important games and notice all his link-ups, intelligent runs...
he also hassles opponents much more then any other striker besides matri.
those two lines beeing the reason why conte will allways play him when fit
hence, even if we'd get jovetic, i'm not sure if he'd replace vucinic or pepe

Although, there will come a time in the season, when Conte will perhaps have to try a new permutation in attack, because honestly Vucinic-Matri as a combination haven't exactly set the league on fire. My money is on Quagmire playing a crucial role on making our frontline a really unpredictable one soon enough. I agree win Cron and Nenna through. Quagmire over Vucinic, in whatever one may define their roles as. I think in form, he's the most dangerous, creative forward we have on our books, save Alex.
