Never heard of him. Is he really good, or just another so-so 'winger'? And why are we signing someone for the right when what we desperately need is a left-sided wide player?
He reminds me of Andrei Kanchelskis, from the way he plays.

Didn't he play really well against the mancs this season? Scoring a goal at old Toilet?

He dribbled his way past the entire scum's defence and slotted the ball past VDS's legs.

That's the only issue. But if Jovanavic is any good he'll have us covered on the left (a forward cum winger so I read from the Serb Mancs on redcafe).
With Krasic on one wing, that would give us the directness and pace we've been after to balance out Riera's lack of pace on the left. Move Kuyt upfront with Gerrard back in midfield or simply rotate with him Nando.
Krasic and Jovanovic would good give us great options out wide (and not a least, a bit of pace!). We'd finally have some decent attacking depth! (Though I'd look to add one more CF and CM)
LW - Riera/Jovanovic
RW - Kuyt/Krasic/Yossi
AM - Kuyt/Krasic/Yossi/Stevie
CM - Gerrard/Mascher/Lucas
CF - Kuyt/Torres/Jovanovic/NGog
On the next train to Amsterdam - Babel

Never heard of him. He looks good though.
And Brendan will be ever so pleased, this one's pacy.

I'm hoping he does a little more than kick it 10 yards ahead and run after it.

Milos Krasic is a fast, energetic winger who likes to score goals. He has decent technique and footwork, although most of the time he beats his man with his speed more than anything else. He is a hardworking player and working with Gazzaev (who is the best coach in Russia IMO) taught him how to be useful in defense as well. His favorite position is RW, on occasion he also played central AM (with mixed success) and when Gazzaev's CSKA employed a 3-4-1-2 system, usually Krasic would play a wing-back responsible for the entire right flank (with Zhirkov similarly covering the entire left flank).
Now about the downsides. Krasic is a selfish player who often tries to do too much all by himself. At times he would score a wonder goal by storming from the right and beating 3 opposition players and that goal would make highlight reels and youtube compilations. But youtube won't show you all the numerous occasions when Krasic passed up a better option because of being so narrow-mindedly focused beating every human shape on his way to the goal that he doesn't notice his teammates at all.
Of course, every great winger, including Ronaldo, went through a stage of being too selfish. Some players eventually mature and learn better decision-making, and some don't. I didn't see Krasic play recently, so I can't tell you if he seems to have turned the corner or is close to turning the corner. I have to say when I was watching CSKA 2-4 years ago, I always liked Zhirkov more and out of the whole CSKA team it was Zhirkov, not Krasic that I would bet will become a big-time player.
We'll just have to wait and see... At the moment, I can't say I am on Krasic bandwagon.

Still, at least he's fast.
When he beats a player on the wing and bears down on goal, I can do a comedy Chinese accent and say "Krasic Skills!"
That's the clincher.
Fast and scores goals? All right, I'm sold. I didn't realise Jovanovic could play on the left either. How come Serbia are so shit then, if they've got two brilliant forwards in their team and a central defender currently priced at £30m?
never heard of him, as usual.

For 12m, we can get Arda Turan. Please let this be a rumour.
[/quote]
I would be more excited about that. Although Turan is not any less risky.
My favorite among realistic targets would be Mesut Ozil.

He seems promising enough for 12M Euros.
Never seem him play and I certainly will not get my hopes up, but it is encouraging to be linked to creative players.
Height: check
Pace: check
Strength: check.

I don't really recall watching him play, so I'm left to judge for now based on that (rather comprehensively put together) compilation. And I don't really know what to think.
He seems very pacey, which is good and hard-working (which means he might stand a chance of getting a game), but his touch and technique seemed rather awkward. When he beat a man, it was usually with a heavy touch forward and a burst of acceleration - that's not going to work as often as he might be used to in the Prem.
12M doesn't get you much these days (how much did City pay for Johnson incidentally?), so I suppose it's worth a punt, but it'd be nice to be reassured of his technique.

Serbia, shit? Really? Didn't they top France's group in WC qualifiers.. I didn't watch the games but I guess living over there you just know Bunny!?

Well, France were shit too. Wasn't it Serbia who got hammered by Argentina at the last World Cup? I suppose that is four years ago though.

Oh dear.
Please don't. Because that would be even more shit than usual.
