Posted July 25, 20159 yr Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Danilo Pantic from Partizan Belgrade, with the player immediately joining Vitesse Arnhem for the forthcoming campaign. A central or left midfielder, Pantic played for Partizan in last season’s Europa League, impressing with his skill and creativity. Pantic said: ‘I am very happy to sign for Chelsea, the champions of the English Premier League, and I hope I can show my value at Vitesse in the coming season. I am honoured at the faith both clubs have shown in me.’ The 18-year-old has represented Serbia at youth level and helped his country reach the semi-finals of last summer’s European Under-19 Championships.
August 6, 20159 yr Think he will never play for Chelsea. Lol. Well that's that then. Any particular reason why he's less likely than any of the other youngsters?
March 3, 20169 yr While the plight of the unused loanee is easy to relate to, Danilo Pantic's outburst regarding his time at Vitesse doesn't exactly reveal a great attitude on the teenager's part. There is, dare I say, a bit of a persecution complex even, when he accuses the Dutch club of simply not liking Serbians. "I want to come back to Chelsea, just to train. Why am I in Vitesse if I am not good enough? I am [going] crazy! I've made no mistake. If I had a chance and blew it, I would keep quiet." "Maybe in Vitesse they don't like us Serbs: Nemanja Matic did not get a chance here either and Uros Djurdjevic played 22 matches in a year and a half." -Danilo Panti?; source: Blic via Goal While the complaint may be valid, the xenophobia is unwarranted. Matic, for example, made 28 starts in his one season at Vitesse in 2010-11. If that's not getting a chance, one that eventually made him a necessary part of the David Luiz deal even, then I'm not sure what is. Yeah we don’t like Serbians except for Stefanovic, Curovic, Perovic, Grozdic, Jevric, Lazovic, Rajkovic, Rankovic... https://t.co/BHsXGlKFEp — Léon (@MOTTENZEDAN) March 2, 2016 Clearly, in a larger sense, even, things aren't going too well at Vitesse lately. Since manager Peter Bosz jumped ship, Chelsea B have won just 2 of 8 and have played, in general, rather uninspiring football. Chelsea's loanees have not played a major part, whether through injury, preference, or poor form. Chelsea had to supposedly even send a warning — which may or not have been well received — but certainly, Nathan and Panti? have largely failed to impress, with the latter demoted to the reserves recently after rumors of him walking off the job proved false. "There are five of us here at Vitesse from Chelsea and none of us are playing, that means something is wrong." -Danilo Panti?; source: Blic via Goal Also not true. Solanke and Baker have been regularly involved, as has Izzy Brown when he's been fit. While Panti? still calls it a "privilege" to have transferred to Chelsea, he's clearly regretting at least some facet of how things have worked out (or haven't worked out, as it may be the case) since. But blaming the club(s) is the easy option. It certainly sounds like that at least in this case, it's a bit more complicated than that. Danilo Pantic -> #Partizan pearl, bought by #Chelsea, discarded by #Vitessewhere he was loaned to. Unfocused, unprofessional, unreliable. — Miloš Markovi?

They can't all be winners. http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2016/3/3/11150312/chelsea-loanee-danilo-pantic-angry-with-vitesse-impasse Looks a flop already...

March 3, 20169 yr He's played 95 league minutes all season. That means we've f**ked up his loan as we do so very often and he's losing a year of his footballing career when you can't afford to. Don't agree with his words but his frustration is understandable.

Love the first part, hate the second part. I don't think this is the end for him but he's probably correct, if he's not going to play there he may as well be back here
