Lowdown on Coventry City transfer link with ‘immense potential’ and ‘inch-perfect’ pass
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as we take an in-depth look at the man who has played in Champions League against the likes of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish and whom the Serbian press are convinced is heading to the Sky Blues
“I think there’s a great box-to-box player in him but he’s often been deployed very deep as either a lone defensive midfielder or as part of a holding partnership. Had an absolutely unbelievable pre-season and first few months this season when he looked like one of the best defensive midfield prospects in his age range on the planet but slowed down as the season dragged on and his role diminished with more experienced midfielders playing alongside him.”
“He’s prone to a yellow card and while he can and does carry the ball forward with confidence, he falters a bit when forced to make a decision in the final third and often fluffs the final ball. He’s not a goal threat at all right now.
“I feel it is an important aspect of his game that his long passing is significantly better than his short passing, which is honestly poor for a central midfielder. He’s smooth on the ball with space but never really seems completely comfortable when he doesn’t have a lot of time to weigh up his next move. Give him a few seconds, though, and he’ll launch an inch-perfect bullet!”
“Stamenic is a guy I’ve followed since he was 15 or so and he’s a guy whose future I’m very invested in because of this and I’ve watched him a lot! I’ve tried to watch as many live games as possible throughout his club career (caught 20 this season) and, of course, have watched all of his international games.
