Filip Kostic

[murraymints4brighton]

Ive got a feeling there is something in this. What a signing it would be, seriously. Top, top player.

The opportunity to earn a move to the premier league (with or without us) might play a big factor in his decision, who knows. Not getting my hopes up on this one.

I'll take one of those pints.

Is this as well as clayton or because his not coming.seen that this guy can play behind the strikers

Here's a recent profile of Kostic

Kostic, brought in at 19 years of age, came to the club as a rough diamond and, in his first year, never lived up to the hype that had surrounded him. Struggling to adapt to his new environment, not able to speak a lot of English let alone Dutch and finding a manager in Robert Maaskant who has never really been in the business of polishing rough diamonds, his game time was limited to 5 substitute performances in the league. Rumours came out about the player being not motivated and having trouble keeping his weight in check. An investment of FC Groningen of €1 million was deemed redundant within 12 months.
A year on, the contrast couldn’t be greater. Under new manager Erwin van de Looi, Kostic was given a chance in the first team and from the first time out he seemed adamant to make a spot in the first-team. With unrelenting pace, effort and a lot of flair and skill, he started to run at defences, giving a league return of nine league goals and seven assists. Kostic has turned himself from a fringe player into an instrumental figure for Groningen and it would be a surprise if the 21-year-old would grace the green shirt for another season. His ability to run at defenders and show a will to power off every player coming his way is not as much reminiscent of Tadic, but of another FC Groningen alumni in Luis Suarez, albeit on another level.

After a tough year, it appears the gem is finally unearthed and with the robust left forward constantly improving in skill, delivery and finishing, it is hard to see where his ceiling lies.

Looks like a player who can really bring the crowd to its feet. If its a 2.5 million then he would be worth every penny if he got us to the PL. Even if e doesn't a PL team would snap him up if a few years for 10million plus.

Ill say it quietly but if Burke and Barber have got 10 million of Ulloa and we get this guy, Clayton, Ward and Baldock and have a few million to spare and we continue to strive to meet FFP which i am confident we will as they seem well switched on in that area then i think those that grumble about them may have a little humble pie to eat.

Exactly my thinking. The only thing we have over Stuttgart is the potential move to the Premier League for a player that performs. Performing well in the Championship almost guarantees a move the the biggest league in the world. Think of how many players have had a good season in the Championship and bagged himself a move, even Bridcutt and Ulloa are good examples. This kid is still only 21, his agent may see this as an opportunity to get into a Premier League side by the time he is 23/24.

Van Dijk wanted to come here despite interest from bigger clubs so hopefully Kostic has a similar mindset to his former team mate.
