Tosic is one of the best crossers at the club. He is performing very highly IMO for the Reserves, he just hasn't been given much of a chance in the First XI. He's got decent pace, skill, and ability, he's just a bit small.
If we don't have money now, we never will, we're 3 in a row PL Champions, CL winner and runner up in the past 2 years, decent cup runs over the past three years. It's gunna be near on impossible to repeat that over the next few years.
The most shocking thing is how United have gone from "an excellent prospect" "can't wait for him to arrive in January" to "he isn't good enough". Which is complete b*llocks, I can't believe how unprofessional we have been, no "good luck in the future" message or anything, just a club spokesperson saying a few words.
There were rumours before it was called off, that due to work permit issues, he wouldn't be joining until the summer, but he was definitely joining up with the squad.
It all stinks and we have been an embarrassment quite frankly.
I agree it's a bit of a strange one but £10m is a hell of a lot of money for an unproven player just look at the money we've splashed out in the past for the likes of Nani and Anderson who haven't kicked on like we thought they would do when they arrived. Ljajic has looked good from what i've seen of him playing for the Serbian u18s but from what i've seen the likes of Eikrem, Ajose, Brady, Petrucci, Morrison and Cleverly all look good enough to make it into the first team with in the next few years so maybe Fergies right when he says that after seeing him train with the squad he's not stood out
