On a wing and a prayer: Zoran Tosic, we hardly knew ye

So it has been confirmed that Zoran Tosic has left the club, joining CSKA Moscow for an undisclosed fee although it was reported to be in the region of £8m.

I’m going to keep this brief as I feel it’s a subject that has been done to death but I’m sure I’m not the only fan that feels he was not given a fair crack.

Some say he was signed to keep Adem Ljajic company, a deal that eventually fell through and thus we were stuck with a dud player, whilst others say he was too small or just couldn’t adapt to the English game but I wonder how exactly you could come to a conclusion like that in the 5 senior appearances he made for us.

How did a player go from being a wing maestro who could potentially take Ryan Giggs place on the left to out on loan without a chance of making it at the club?

I didn’t see him everyday in training so I’m not going to sit here and pass judgement but from what I have seen of him at Koln and for Serbia he looks a decent player.

I wish him the best of luck at CSKA Moscow and maybe it could see us sign Krasic in return (OK I’m reaching I know!)
