I think Osijek have been playing a 3-4-3, so Maric has experience of playing in a front three, or with a central striker with a couple playing off him. He actually looks like he's played off the main striker too, which is strange but impressive. 

Maric is a difficult one to judge but I am impressed with his link up play and technique, he could be just what we need.

we also lack height in center midfield.

The type of goals is a worry: they're mostly penalties or coming from a press. How many times to we get the latter in Scotland? (Or the former?!) Good for Europe. 

 

It's just Youtube, though...  

 

Looking at the clips of Zungu again, he seems to be able to drive with the ball, and play some good long-range passes. He's not the attacking midfielder you want, but he looks to be able to provide some forward momentum.

I'm less concerned with their footballing skills, which I assume they have or we wouldn't be discussing them, and more interested in whether or not they have any balls. Because that's what will count when referees turn a blind eye to the hammer throwers on a cold wet December afternoon.

Yeh, he’s not good at heading either apparently despite his height.

Whats the fee quoted for Maric, it is difficult to tell from youtube how much of an asset he would be, I did notice he is left footed and can play on the right of a front three, to many times last year teams doubled up on kent and we never really had an outlet, the teams confidence was shot to bits as well, if he can play as a RF and a CF he offers something different that we never had last year.

I like the look of Maja I always thought he was a wee guy for some reason, boy looks a unit, only thing is I would expect Alfie to be sold if we bring him in, would be very surprised if we ended up with Maja and Morelos

Wilson used to be reliable years ago

Do you mean Richard Wilson, formerly of the Herald and latterly with the BBC? If so, the tweet was not from him, but rather a Tim claiming to specialise in Balkans football.
