VillaChris Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 7 hours ago, The_Rev said: It's puzzling. I'd always wondered if it was an agent thing, often moves are driven like that (I figured that Anwar on loan to Everton was such a thing) but Kalinic was with a very small Croatian firm called Pharos Sport Agency so it's unlikely we were signing him with a view to building a relationship for more players down the road. I'm just guessing that somebody really rated him and felt he was undervalued. That goal he conceded two minutes into his debut seemed to be the ending of him. Well he certainly wasn't DS signing given he recalled Steer at same time as we got Lovre in and would've been happy just playing him for run in as he eventually did. Odd though he never got a chance again even in league cup after he got dropped after West Brom game in Feb 2019. Whereas Nyland was pretty much awful before and after his ACL and he got countless chances to impress in league and cup. Aside from his great performances v Leicester in cup SF Nyland certainly wasn't better than Kalinic from what I saw of both but then you lose track of all the keepers we've had in last four years starting with Johnstone on loan. Completely forgot Heaton played for us for six months with his own injury and then us signing Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was back on the bench 7 days later at Stoke so surely protocol would've ruled him out. In that game pretty sure there was a header from edge of the box that looped over him into corner so always thought DS said some choice words to him at half time, he responded, was subbed and that was it really. Not great though when we'd just handed him a 4 and a half year deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut was abysmal, he was Djemba-Djemba/Tonev levelsof terrible. Hadn't we pushed to sign himon an emergency basis earlier, only to be vetoed by the Sunderland boss at the same time they were covering up Adam Johnson's noncing?

I remember the league cup game he played in, we were away at a league one/two team (can’t remember who it was exactly) and he looked like a rabbit in the headlights, even the penalty he saved was straight at him I think.

Stevo985 Posted July 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2022 Genuinely forgot this guy was still technically on our books. Bizarre signing. Genuinely thought he'd actually be decent. He wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clearest indication is how the closest players on both teams don't stop for even a moment and react like they've just scored, it's just a hell of an optical illusion Edited August 23, 2022 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the keeper actually saves it onto the post Unfortunate for the other team but play to the whistle, the TV station was caught out as well Edited August 23, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
