Mario Pasalic
9 February 1995
Midfielder
1 year loan from Chelsea, no option but right of first refusal meaning we can negotiate and sign him before any other team, I guess?
The loan fee rises to 1 milion from an initial 200k the lesser minutes he gets. Not really if true or if I am reading it right. Any way if his position is Montolivo's I doubt our captain is being dropped any time soon. No Coppa games for a while and no Europe either.
Wow, we really are a feeder club to Chelsea.
I remember that van Ginkel had a similar clause.
Not that I disagree with you in that I don't see any point in him coming, but I understood Montella's comment being more in relation to match sharpness, bearing in mind that Pasalic was injured for a very long time.
He played not bad but it can bee seen that he still needs time, he is still recovering to gain full match fitness. A good option for Montella IMO. Glad to see Montella give him enoguh minutes to play.

not a bad player imo, when others started to fade he still have the fire to keep playing.
