Mario Pašalić

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

That's now three goals in two games after his supposed transfer to Chelsea. Scored a couple last week away in Split and another one today against Dragovoljac. 9 goals in 18 appearances this season, highest goalscoring midfielder in Croatia.

Mario Pasalic to join Chelsea from Hajduk Split in £3m deal but forward expected to be sent out on loan by Jose Mourinho

[Viper22 2,418]

Mirror reporting that he only cost £1.6M, not £3M.

Whichever is true, that's a good price for an up and coming youngster. We can always hope he'll become a good player for us in the future but if he doesn't quite make it then at least he'll almost definitely make us some cash.

Good deal all round methinks.

I haven't seen him playing but his stats are impressive, a lot better than Halilovic's.

Mario Pasalic to join Chelsea from Hajduk Split in £3m deal but forward expected to be sent out on loan by Jose Mourinho

I'm pretty certain that we had already signed him and he has been on loan from us at Hajduk. He's actually been doing well there from what I've seen from loan reports and scoring a fairly regular basis. A loan to elsewhere is probably in order next season. Probably Vitesse as @lionsden said above.

I know ... I just wish they'd stay out of the Supermarkets ... OH and why can't the little gits walk or run to school. In Kenya they ran to school and produced great

athletes ....... I HATE KIDS ....

Marijo Pasalic is in a different situation, as he has already agreed a deal with Chelsea - but has remained with Hajduk until the summer.

Pasalic has been linked with summer switches to Lazio and Napoli, and Chelsea's director of sport Michael Emenalo has been quoted in the Italian media suggesting a move is likely.

"Mario has outgrown Hajduk and in the summer he has to move to a bigger club. That is the only way for him to one day play at Stamford Bridge," Emenalo is quoted as telling the Italian press.

The player's agent Ivica Loncar confirmed that he will link up with Chelsea this summer.

"For two weeks in the summer he will probably train with Chelsea and at the end Jose Mourinho is the one who will have the last word about his future," confirmed Loncar.

Chelsea finalised a deal for Pasalic in January, although he will not actually become a Blues player until this summer.

We have so many young talents...hope we dont fuck up with all of them.

With proper development, Pasalic, Traore, Baker, Rlc, Mvg, Lukaku maybe even Atsu, Thorgan, Piazon could become starters.

I will be happy if one of them makes it here.

He's actually in the preliminary 30 man Croatia squad which is pretty impressive for an 18 year old playing in the national league. A young Ballack they say.

Please be another Modric/Rakitic!

Is he going to the World Cup?

Please be another Modric/Rakitic!

Apparently he's more like Lampard i.e. goalscoring midfielder than a midfield playmaker in the mould of Modric/Rakitic.
