So we signed this kid as a 17 year old from Inter Zapresic, bags of potential, a call up from the Croatian national team...

He's at Vitesse in Holland right now, but hasnt made a single first team appearance.

I just wanted to know what everyone else thought about this lad. Surely he was bought to become Cech's eventual replacement, but when Cech hangs up his boots (for the sake of argument) say 12 years from now, Delac's going to be 30...is he really going to stick around for that long??

No, but then again just because we have a keeper who might still be playing in 8-10 years time doesn't mean we don't need to bother signing younger keepers.

We were lucky to get Cech at a very young age and at the price that we did. But not signing a promising player based on the premise that there is an existing seasoned campaigner is foolishness. There are many factors in a players career that determine the amount of time he is going to stay at his peak, with Cech its been pretty good till now but injury and form are a couple of issues that can always come up. Besides if Delac is indeed better than Cech we may have to do what happened at Ath Madrid where a promising De Gea was chosen ahead of Asenjo.

Haven't Vitesse got an option to buy on this loan contract?

I think that was the rumour but the club dismissed it.

Just for Matic and Rajkovic, not for Delac I think.

You sure about Matic? I thought he was part of the deal to get Luiz and he will go to Benfica in the summer?

Yes, he'll join Benfica in the summer, but Vitesse had an option to loan him.
