He's a keeper, he's a grinner, he's Lovre, and he's a winner.

I read that the reason he can't play before the QPR game is because he's gone on a short holiday to get some sun. When he returns, we'll all see that Lovre is a wonderful colour.

Kalinic really rates himself he's a highly confident man . Just the way he talks about his own belief that he's like a  Muhammad Ali,  Zaltan Ibrahimovic , Christan Ronaldo..


Maybe that just him talking as his agent said he's always been like that


I think Lovres himself

His former team mates reckoned whatever their problems, they could always talk to Kalinic. Lovre is an open door ...

He's a bit tentative on the shirt stretching.

It's a good thing. All of those previous signings who have stretched the threads out of the shirt have been largely shit.

And I knew he was big but fuck me he's massive. Taller than the training complex.

This could be a massive signing for Villa ( no pun intended) Its gone slightly under the radar with all the games over Xmas, but he will hopefully make a massive difference.

The little snippet on the Official twitter feed makes him look like a monster! He'll have no problem taking out everything in front of him to get the ball.

Perfect.

Hmm

Didnt see the first goal

For the other two I thought he lacked a bit of presence

Wonder if steer will keep the shirt

Fuck all he could do about two. Slow getting there for the first.

Diabolical defending though.

After a nervy first 15 mins, his handling and quick distribution was good. Playing behind that defence will give him plenty of practice!

Difficult to judge with a defence playing so poorly
