Assist and goal again against Willem II.

Scored 11 goals this season in the Eredivise. I am sure that he will play for a topclub soon. What do you think? Can he make it into a worldclass-player?

Take it easy with the name-calling and why can't he just be Marko Arnautović?

He does miss every now and then but he's a pretty decent finisher. He has the same build and is just as gifted as Zlatan was in his early years at ajax, if not even better.. there must go something incredibly wrong if this player wont become worldclass.

ps. he already played international games for austria, he cant play for serbia anymore cant he? Its a pity, he's 10 times the player lazovic is for example.

Lazovic is not the problem, he's actually a very good squad player for us who scores and assist goals. Even if Arnaut played for us, he wouldn't (or, I should say- he shouldn't) be selceted at the expense of Lazovic, but instead at the expense of the world's most interesting man- Marco Von Pantelik, the Baron of Berlin.

Its a tradition zoric. If Aurnatovic becomes a worldclass maker and when we're 10 years ahead, a youngster with the same elements of aurnatovic will be called the next aurnautovic and so on.. :D

All aurnatovic misses is a huge nose, besides that he and zlatan have alot of simarilities.

I know, mate. It's just that these kids need to be their own in order to succeed, that's all :D

i can see the comparisons in his game to zlatan..i heard though the kid is a big time partier though..if the kid works hard and doesnt kill his career by partying like alot of other great young talents the kid has all the tools to become a worldclass player..

serbia has a good young talented team as is but if there diaspora players like marin arnautovic and krkic decided to play for them dam thats some talent right there..:eek:

The serbian FA have been a bunch of idiots for the past 10 years when it comes to the diaspora. They've just recently started to pick up and follow youngsters, much thanks to Slobodan Krčmarević.

not to sound all technical but the Serbian diaspora are usually from parents born in BiH or Croatia, maybe there can be some difficulties in the process, as FIFA seem to be really stingy in this process nowadays

the situation of ex-YU diaspora players is ****ed up because technically they can play for any ex-YU country, all you have to do is look at these guys BiH are stealing :D

Just to mention, I think players can't change their national team allegiance after they hit age 21. Arnautovic is only 19, so there's a chance he could change to Serbia. He's not officially attached to Austria yet...

He's now in trouble after saying "Fvck off, black nig.ger" to Willem II's Ibrahim Kargbo

Arnautovic :yuck:

I know they aren't a big deal...but can you explain to me what relation do Hrgovic, Radeljic, those Rijeka guys you tried to recruit to BiH? I mean Hrgovic's sister plays for the Croatian handball team, his brother is a knight at Alka Sinj (when Austria beat your brothers).

Honestly, if they have "BiH" roots it must be difficult to find (ps, they aren't Muslim) and in Hrgovic's case it was he played at Siroki Brijeg for 2-3 seasons

I know they aren't huge players, or key players, but they have zero connection to BiH, at least the BiH born players who play for Serbia or Croatia have some connection. And you are exagerating, on the Cro NT only Corluka and Petric are born in BiH...two of 23 (from the Euro squad) and they both left before 5 years old

Who cares about Hrgovic and Radeljic? .
they still played for your dear NT, and in the case of Radeljic a guy still being selected..a guy from Imotski of all places too. There were rumors of Vedran Ivankovic, Velimir Radman, Anas Sharbini...all HNL superstars :howler:

Croatia have now broken two myths: a) half of their players are born in BiH and b) Yugoslavia was some super power, when Croatia in 18 years did more than them in 40+ years :D

the two have 30+ caps together, doesn't matter what their status is now, the fact is they played for BiH when they have 0-1% connection with them. Add to the rumors of some NK Zagreb (Ciro's ex-team), Rijeka (who BiH played :howler:) players being linked to playing for BiH, even ex Croatian youth internationals like Radman and Mikulic.

So the answer is both...:D

And I know it was directed at zoric, but BiH and heart shouldn't go together, have to say even Serbian players have more heart, and thats difficult to say :pp
