Milot Rashica

[MotoMkali]

So I asked some questions of the Werder Bremen subreddit and here is the reply I have got so far.

1) Is he as good as he looks in his highlights?

>1. He is fast, he knows how to score - and he can dribble quite good. One of his key powers i think is to change directions very fast when he is in posession and advancing forwards. He is smart on the field and he is a fast learner, the first season he always ran into his opponents, wasn't defending and a little bit on the selfish side. Second season he got all these things behind him.

2) How much do you think he would cost for you to sell him? I saw 25 million euros on here but I have heard rumours of about 30-35 million pounds as well

2. ~25 mio (in €)

3) What position does he play? And Where do you think he plays best? It seems to me like he splits his minutes as a LW and CF but obviously you guys would know more. 

3. More LW, but you've got the point. You can see him changing to RW sometimes in the game. When the opponent is clearly better, you can see him switching from time to time to a more defensive working position. There where some good tackles in our own third - even in the box.

4) Do you think you can survive next season without him? I would hate for you guys to get relegated because you had to sell one of your top players as a Villa fan I know the pain all too well.

4. Our best field player, a replacement in this category? I doubt it...

All are pretty much interchangeable and I’d swop Watkins for Edouard. Pretty frightening how creative that line up with SJM & Luiz could be and night and day from last season.

Rashica for less than £25 million?

Bremen have become the german version of Villa in Bundesliga since Hamburg went down two years ago. Just scraped survivial in the relegation play off (Rashica was a bit injured in the run in as he kept on getting subbed around 60th minute in games I watched).

Sad to see considering that fantastic team they had of Diego and Ozil about a decade ago. Claudio Pizzaro still plays for them btw, 41 now!

So this journalist DEFINITELY knows him.

29th of July this apparently.

Foreign journos from small football countries very often have good relationships with star players as they're seen as sporting ambassadors for the country and treated with respect, completely different to the level of distrust you get over here.

Anyway just had a look at Rashica's scoring stats and it was way better than I expected 9 Bundesliga goals in 18/19 (bare in mind they only play 34 games) plus 4 more in the German cup so pretty much a 1 in 3 scoring record.

Started last season in great scoring form aswell, scored 9 goals in his first 13 league and cup games. Then the goals dried up as Bremen got worse but overall 11 goals for the season.

Would comfortably be our top scorer with stats like that replicated here.

He'd cost 10m less than Benrahma and is far more proven at the top level. That's the value of good scouting abroad sometimes. Hope it happens.

Much better than our media seem to have with our players and our leagues,seems the reporting is done properly abroad or at least at a better standard like reporters chase the story, something we have lost along time ago in sports.

English reporting is puke up time it's just bad all over.

For anyone thinking we aren't an attraction, Wolves were signing this calibre of player in the championship. It's why they caned it.

And he and Jack could player either wing and alternate sides.

This and the insta make for compelling evidence.

I think we have cracked this case everyone.

I expect to see him in the shirt, holding the scarf, wearing the mask, on the pitch by next Wednesday!

Still not convinced, something doesn’t feel right with it all. Maybe drumming up interest in the hope some other club else bids seems likely

They've even now changed the hashtag on the YouTube video "The brilliance of Milot Rashica" which I shared in the thread earlier to #Astonvilla in the last hour, and put our badge next to him in the thumbnail.

This would be the biggest troll and cruelest game ever if nothing comes of this.

The Author of the video has also "Liked" the "Welcome to Villa" comments.

EDIT: Just realised he does the same bollox with any player strongly linked to a club
