He can play in CB.
DEF: 70 is good
BB: 82-83
ACC: 75-76 is good
AGI: 75
HEAD: 75
JMP: 75

Please don't just post arbitrary values. Why should we take your values into consideration?

[bjk_melo_151]

i was watched him in Turkish League. He was decent defensive back in the league.

[coolactive]

To get this starting again...
Monkevski and other Bundesliga followers, any thoughts about updating stats or any "agrees" on bjk suggestions ?
My stats was for him playing in Serbia, in Red Star Belgrade, he played only 6 games for Frankfurt so...
Thanks

[monKevski]

I haven't any thoughts of him, because I haven't seen him often.
And with 5 and a half game I cannot really rate him.

My thoughts exactly If he stays in the team, maybe next season he will get more time. Until then, consider this stats as **basic**.

[Hayame]

Thats a good idea. I´ve seen him only 2 times this saison so i can´t rate him at the moment too.

[monKevski]

All in all I agree with bjk's suggestions, but in my opinion I don't see him as such that good header, yet.
I would also change his passing skills, as a SB I see him more LPA/LPS>SPA/SPS.

Header should stay. He was never very good at that. Imo, my values are right.
About passing, in Red Star he used to rush fast on the side but somehow always tried to pass ground fast balls into box, it is rare I know - and his crosses were powerless. That's why I gave him 69 for LPS. Anyway, that was then...

Guys I agree and appreciate your suggestions - just give me some numbers
Btw, he looks more composed playing for U21 then ever, his passing is more precise then stats tells. Anyway, you saw him play in Frankfurt and as I can see, his Short Psssing needs correcting

[Paddy]

He's, in my opinion, much better than this.

and now after a while, whole different thoughts...
Ok Paddy, shoot
I was thinking about giving him more BB, higher jump and header, although i must admit i did not seen him play very much still...

[monKevski]

He only played in an additional time at the 5th matchday, no wonder that it is difficult to see something of him.^^

I based this stats on his earlier play for U21 and Red Star Belgrade before he moved to Eintracht. I guess he will be back in Serbian football after all

Celtic are at the beginning of a new era with boss Tony Mowbray and club officials are already looking for ways to reinforce the team that lost the SPL title to Rangers. The latest reports are suggesting that the Bhoys have set their sights on Serbia Under-21 international Nikola Petkovic, who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt. Celtic scouts are thought to be impressed with Petkovic’s showings at Under-21 Euro in Sweden and the club are willing to offer around €4 million for the player.

The 23-year-old came through the youth ranks at Vojvodina and he played just 28 games for the club before making a move to Turkish side Genclerbirligi. He didn’t have a lot of success at the club and he was loaned to Hacettepe and Red Star before making a move to Eintracht Frankfurt. Petkovic came to prominence during the 2007 Under-21 Euro with his performance against England being particularly impressive.

Petkovic is a very strong left-back and he is highly reliable in defence. On the other hand, he is excellent at going forward and he often finds his strikers with pin-point crosses. He is also a very good set-piece taker and is definitely a very complete player. I am sure he would fit right in Tony Mowbray’s team as his physical presence makes him well suited for the Scottish Premier League. Celtic are in the process of rebuilding a team and they could really use player like Petkovic covering the left side, since neither Lee Neylor nor young Darren O’Dea look capable for the job. The Serb played just six games for Eintracht Frankfurt after arriving in January and the German club will probably sell him for the right price. Celtic are reportedly ready to offer around €4 million for Petkovic, which would be a real bargain for such a great player, although the price could become much higher after the Under-21 Euro, since more clubs are expected to join the race.

[coolactive]

Well, I am glad that Celtic have so high hopes for Nikola...
Highly reliable in defence... excellent in going forward ....pinpoint crosses .... very good set-piece taker, very complete player...
He is strong I agree - somewhere around 85-86, but other stuff...no. @ U21 Euro in Sweden he managed to somehow stop Balotelli, more with his stranghth then tecnique and defensive skill. Vs Belarus he was nowhere and in the last game, vs Sweden he made few crucial mistakes and earned himslef an exclusion after elbowing Toivonen deliberately in the air challenge.
I honestly believe Celtic scouts are right and that he will make a career in Scotland, but from this pov it is a BIG question mark.

Anyway, please suggest a change or changes and we will consider it
