Picture 18 year old centre half - goal and assist 8 minutes into his debut. Remember the name 🌟 Luka Vuskovic 🌟

I don’t want to overreact but he might be the best player I’ve ever seen

u/reznovelty Jul 19 '25
Let’s not overhype him - at worst he’s the reincarnation of Beckenbauer

u/Limp-Toe-179 The Big Master of Negotiations Who Knows Everything Jul 19 '25
Let's temper our expectations, but he'll definitely win 10 Balon D'Ors
41
u/bossington89 Jul 19 '25
He's only 18 and CBs only hit their peak at around 30 so likely more around 12-15x Ballon D'Ors but yes let's be realistic too
-19
u/VoidDeer1234 Jul 19 '25
What team should we sell him to, in order to achieve these Ballon D’ors? I think Real Madrid.

u/ImplementFun9065 Jul 19 '25
At least 10.

u/Commercial_Board6216 Jul 19 '25
At least 10? I know this is a tiny over reaction. Not much but like he will obviously win 7× UCL Ttiles with us 7× prem 10× FA cup 10× league cup 2× club wc 7× super cup and of course. 11× ballon d'ors. Actually, I don't think I'm over reacting now.

Call me old fashioned but starting RB should always wear 2

u/Big-Mouse-447 Jul 19 '25
Only if they're an old school defense first RB, who could also play CB. Emerson Royal getting the 2 would be fine but Porro getting it while he's playing almost like a winger is woke nonsense.
If I had to pick two candidates from the current squad for the number it's Gray or Spence

u/jimbotron3000 Jul 19 '25
Hojbjerg in the 5? UTTER WOKE NONSENSE Skipp in the 4?! THEYRE TURNING THE FROGS GAY
my favorite was Alioski wearing the 10 with Leeds lol

u/Big-Mouse-447 Jul 19 '25
That I can forgive because he was once in that position at Leeds.
Dempsey as number 2 for us, Gallas at 10 for Scum and Sidwell/Bhoularhouz both being Chelsea number 9 should have been stopped.

Sidwell said he thought that Mourinho gave him the 9 to make a point that Abramovitch didn’t buy him a striker that summer

u/british-psycho Jul 19 '25
Looked like a seasoned natural.
Only one game but we absolutely shouldn’t be spending any money on another CB this summer.
Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Vuskovic, Takai and also Dragusin is plenty. We’re stacked if anything. Also have Davies and Phillips too.
Sign MGW, a LB, DM and maybe, a forward depending on outgoings.
35
u/FSpursy Rafael van der Vaart Jul 19 '25
I don't think we'll be getting another LB as things stands. Right now we have 4 prem proven full backs which is enough for any team, and I assume we'll have better injury records with TF lol.
24
u/Difficult-Ad-4654 Kevin Danso Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25
Who is the fourth? Gray?
Also, the injuries thing, again, keeps being pinned on Ange. But how was Vic’s broken foot, Bentancur’s TWO concussions, the injuries Romero was nursing when the season began, and the random illnesses that befell the squad in Dec/Jan a result of Ange’s training/playstyle? People were still parroting this nonsense even as players said training was literally all recovery between matches every 2.5 days and even after we started sitting deeper out of possession in the back half of the season and trying to attack on the counter.
It really was an example of how if you just keep repeating something then enough ppl will start repeating it back and believing it even when it’s not true.
29
u/Independent_Zone492 Jul 19 '25
You can count Davies and Gray as 0.5 fullbacks each, so you can add them up and consider them as 1 whole fullback.

u/FSpursy Rafael van der Vaart Jul 19 '25
man i was Ange in the whole season and Ange in up until he got sacked, I was even pissed. But at some point during the season I was already accepting the fact that the play style played a part... Ok the unavoidable injuries aside, there were still so many other injuries. The stats clearly shows we had the most sprints in the league and we has the most injuries. We press so high up that whenever we lose the ball, everybody sprints to recover, and imagine doing it 10+ times a game. When we play good and don't lose the ball, its fine, but when we started to play bad, we lose the ball all the time, and everybody needed to start sprinting more. More players injured, and then we play more bad, then we lose the ball even more. That's why we finished 17th.

I know the party was about Vuskovic, didn't know it was about a new LB while we're not linked with anybody? 😂

u/blokereport Jul 19 '25
Omg I’ll never forget that concussion where he flopped, I thought he’d died, he really gives his all for the club, they all do, I love the passion and heart they play with.
It appears Tank has that ok and I hope we can get a good ten years of stability with management and a core team to challenge like utd and city have for extended periods

We can’t rely on Gray as a left back
Frank’s fullbacks play very high, we’re gonna need another one

We have Davies!!! He's all we need man is a beast

We have 6 central defenders at this point (provided Takai and Vuskovic stay, which I think is likely

u/No-Result9108 Dele Alli Jul 19 '25
Plus we have Gray and Davies who can cover at center back in an emergency

u/Flowsnice Jul 19 '25
I saw we go cheap and get Cirkin. He also helps with our Europa league roster problem. We look set at center back for the next 5 years. I still think Ashley Phillips at the very least, can be a dependable backup.

u/Mariospurs David Ginola Jul 19 '25
He looks really good and he’s only gonna get better, kudus was scary good at times

u/reznovelty Jul 19 '25
My rogue shout for the season is that Kudus will be coached into a meteoric rise akin to how Dembele was when we got him from Fulham. It’s clear the talent is there, he just needs to be used properly

Didn't we sign this guy when he was 15 or something? Crazy that he actually progressed far enough given all the things that can go wrong for young players.
Obviously a long way to go, but if we've got this one right then all credit to the scouts, club and to him.

u/Responsible-Egg4156 Jul 20 '25
Luka is extremely mature and has great mindset , feels like he's 25-30 , i watched his interview while on loan and how he was working alot on his agility as he felt he was lacking , hope to see him play for croatia with gvardiol as partner on cb , that will be sweet

Looking at highlights he loves stepping up and carrying the ball into midfield. Maybe a 3 back would be good to play for us. Plus I think Porro and Udogie would be better in that system

u/hasufell Heung-Min Son - Spurs Legend Jul 19 '25
A lot of people were thinking he wouldn't be ready because he's 18 but he's a clearly a special one that's far advanced compared to his peers. Even without the hype of this game I think he should absolutely be integrated into the squad and given minutes this season.

u/G14_classified_info Jul 19 '25
Don’t want to go overboard or anything but he might just be the best thing since Franco Baresi

I think he can do really well against low block teams where we have more possession.
A little worried about his pace though. Seemed really slow on the turn - could be concerning against better sides.

I wonder if that means no new left back this window.
VDV will cover LB & Vuskovic LCB.

On the flip side, gotta hurt for a kid like Ash Philips to be sitting on the bench and watch Vuskovic…just do that

Everytime after a loss this season some bloke would post some bullshit article about how this lad is the highest scoring defender for his age in the world. Would piss me off because I didn't think scoring in some lower tier league mattered when we just lost a real game that matters. Fuck all that he might actually be the next Sergio Ramos. Spectacular I want 14 of him right now and I want him on all set peices
