Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
They have some promising Under 21 players...

Tin Jedvaj for a start
Ante Coric too...

We've been linked with haliovic, coric and a striker I forget the name of

Tho no idea if those were serious links or papers putting two and two together

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
I thought that while the UK was still in the EU, a "work permit" (I think they call them something else) for a Croatian was a formality - they just need an employer (i.e., West Ham United) to say they are going to employ them, and they're in.

That's what I remember from when Bilic was given the job.

Because they need work permits so are hard to sign if they're not full internationals.

*Unless you're a "top four" club in which case its no problem at all.

Coric is the business. He'd rip teams apart, loves to run at the oppo and doesn't go down like a sack when tackled...seems to either draw fouls whilst protecting himself or rides through them. Skillful, I think we would love him!

Count me in on signing Ante Coric.

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
He bought Payet and Lanzini didn't he?

He'd been after both at previous clubs. Got both for about £20m too.

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
Maybe because Bilic couldn't pick a good player from the Ballon D'or final two?

Harsh maybe but would you personally give him £20m of your own money, carte blanche, to buy a player with?

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
Perhaps they've seen first hand that he is a tactical disaster and won't come?

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
Its like Mourinho not looking to Portugal, Klopp to Germany, Pep to Spain, Conte to Italy, why should Bilic be any different, its a world game these days and about the player rather than nationality or what language they speak.

Can only help in some ways but i think its pretty down the list when it comes to priorities in what they look for in a player.

Because they are not available free or on loan.

Ha!
Well i guess that's certainly true- but who knows that we haven't?

It doesn't hurt to ask...The big clubs can't stockpile everybody...although they try their very best...players if they are good want to play

Liverpool kept pestering Klopp when Man U didn't think it was worth asking because he wouldn't join them

Always ask instead of relying on Barry Silkman

Re: Why does Bilic not seem to be casting an eye at Croatia for players?
I imagine the ones worth acquiring are in high demand from 'bigger' clubs, or already at big clubs.

Good Point...he only trades at the bring and buy sale

The cunt Sullivan probably doesn't have a friendly agent over there.
