Oliver Sarkic

Capable of playing right wing, striker or just off the striker.

Looks like we’re going to have a fluid front line switching places throughout the game to me. He’ll also be a good long term replacement for Feeney.
 
Now THIS really is the sort of signing that's going to excite me from Critchley. If he knows him since he was 17 that means he was being watched for Liverpool, that means the lad has an excellent pedigree (Anderlecht, Benfica etc...) and in his first season as a pro he's scored 5 goals in 37 appearances in League 1. Not much more you can ask for the club here. Proven at this level, able to develop, young, and has been watched by the biggest clubs in the world. 👍
 
It’s also good to see Burton offered him a new deal. Shows were a decent prospect.
 
Right winger apparently. Could be a decent long term replacement for Feeney.
He's a leftie apparently. Seems best as an attacking midfielder. Keshi might have to play wide whether he likes it or not. Same with Kaikai. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out as we seem to have a lot of attacking options without a real goal threat or much natural width!
 
From the highlights of both Sarkic and Anderson they both have scored some cracking goals with their ’weak foot’, which will only help the interchangeability of the forward line during games.

The type of profile we are going for is really exciting. I don’t think we should look too deep into what they have done elsewhere, it’s the about the attributes they bring, the potential they have and fitting into our style of play to get the best out of them.
 
Similar (if not better) stats than KaiKai last season and we all know what he brings to the team. 5 goals, 10 assists in all competitions.

This is the most promising one yet imo
 
Well, another one that nobody predicted. Interesting that both the signings in the last 2 days have been impressed with Critchley. Lets's hope all of them live up to expectations
 
I am used to seeing the club sign out of contract free players. Not used to those players being offered contracts by their former clubs and choosing us instead!

Exciting times. Lets just hope we get to see them play in the flesh soon!
 
Looks like the manager is squad building for the future.The club doesn t want to be reliant on one or two
players we need quality throughout the squad.
 
As Bollie says the ages show a plan. I though want to see some experience alongside to guide these players when things aren't going too well.
 
I don't think any of us knew how influential Critchley would be in situations like this.
Coming to Blackpool may very well be on the players list, but being coached by someone with the reputation of Critch obviously means a lot to players.
Long may it continue 👍
 
What needs to now happen is if any of these lads have a stinker (and they will) that the crowd dont get on their backs. We need to give them encouragement and support otherwise we'll end up with a team of Nuttalls who look petrified everytime he walks out onto the pitch.

Absolutely agree, the good news is they won't be able to hear us from behind the TV at home 😭
 
Our attacking plan is going to be very different.
No more - give it to Feeney - cross for Gnando.

Critch is developing a fluid, mobile unit. Anderson and Sarkic can score and provide assists.
A 20 goal a season striker would be great - and there's still plenty of time for that to happen - but I'm very encouraged by us bringing in players in their early/mid twenties who can each potentially score 8-10 goals and set up teammates as well 👍

And Sarkic looks like a genuinely two footed player. Loads of League One defenders rely on stopping opposition players from getting on their good foot, two footed players can make them look like statues.

Anderson, Sarkic, Kaikai all give great options. Feeney is experienced and had a good season last year so another decent wide option.
We still have Callum Mac who I still believe could become a great player.
Finally there is Fonz..... got pace and a great clapper of hands
 
Wow this feels good doesn’t it.

When have we ever built a good team this early!?

A 20 goal a season would be great but are as rare as chickens teeth!!
What would be great are 5 players who could get between 8 and 10 goals a season meaning teams wouldn't know who to mark out the game as a goal threat.
 
Now sign his goalkeeper brother and that ex Cod midfielder Sarcevic, a trio of Sarky names to confuse duffers like Wiz and Catford Basil.
 
Last night I thoroughly enjoyed rereading the famous court case. Each time I read it there is something new to savour. But I do know if they were still in charge there would be no discussions on AVFTT about new signings - especially not early July!
