Alen Stevanovic.

Il giovane centrocampista offensivo serbo in comproprietà tra Torino ed Inter - secondo quanto riporta 'Tuttosport' - sta per essere girato in prestito al Toronto Fc , club che milita nella MLS americana.

The young midfielder in Serbia ownership between Turin and Inter - according to a report in 'Tuttosport' - is about to be shot on loan at Toronto FC, MLS club that plays in the U.S..

Whats the Thoughts on him, Serie A peeps?

[RedsYNWA]

[Nuvinho]

boom! (that's all I have to say, its too early)

[ManUtd4ever]

If he was good enough to trial and sign with Inter and Torino, I'm sure he's talented enough to provide an upgraded level of skill to our midfield. The only question is if he would be able to adapt to the physical style of play in MLS.

hes serbian

[19Barrett19]

I watch this kid play via satellite does he ever like to run at players good vision good shot good pace and young. Could be the winger winter was referring to. Would not mind at all to see what he can go in mls.

[TFC/Everton]

Apparently he's a left sided forward

Which is exactly what we need. Looks like a promising young kid. Makes me want to have a but its only 8:37am....hmmmmm

[19Barrett19]

6 hours ahead in italy

[gmacpheetfc]

5 actually daylight savings delay

[TFC/Everton]

The Serbian League is pretty physical, no?

[19Barrett19]

If Tfc sign yourass with Alan on the left side I think we would be fairly dangerous down the left. I also like the secondary choice of Martina or plata not to mention Zavarise. This pick up would be nice to say the least

[19Barrett19]

The kid plays in Tornio seria A Italy

[Nodoubtguy]

20 year old who trialed and was signed at Inter?? yes please!

[gmacpheetfc]

Italian Press reporting Alen Stevanovic on loan to Toronto FC from Torino. Here's a bit of video on him. http://youtu.be/gww2l3jmnxI about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck

Here's another article, translated from Spanish:

Spanish to English translation

With little more than 20 years, Serbian Alen Stevanovic need minutes. After not having many opportunities in Torino and Inter Milan, the two clubs that share the property of their federative rights, it appears that the remainder of the season try her luck in Major League Soccer.

Their destination would be Toronto FC, where last year ended his career (so far) Spanish Mista. Stevanovic, which this year has played few minutes in league with the Torino and has only been regular cup, leaves on loan and their 'owners'will handle the tab.

Stevanovic is one of the new Serbian football talent, but has stagnated a bit in its progression. He arrived two years ago to Calcium, from the modest Radnicki Obrenovac Serbian and, although he has not played much (only nine games in two years), this time made ​​his debut with the U 21 of the country.

Another Italian article. Looks like this has legs

http://www.goal.com/it/news/5/serie-...ti-e-cairo-non

Il cambio in panchina non ha portato i risultati sperati ed anche la scommessa Alen Stevanovic è stata persa: il gioiello prelevato dall'Inter non ha mai convinto a pieno ed il club granata ha deciso di spedirlo al Toronto Football Club gestito da vecchie conoscenze del calcio italiano come Aaron Winter (allenatore) e Jurgen Klinsmann (dirigente).

The change on the bench didn't bring the expected results and even the gamble Alen Stevanovic was lost. The jewel taken from Inter never fully convinced and the maroon club have decided to loan him to Toronto Football Club run by old acquaintances of Italian football like Aaron Winter (coach) and Jurgen Klinsmann (director/manager)


My translation might be a little off but you get the picture.

[Detroit_TFC]

This is an exciting development!

[DangerRed]

This is going to be great if true. I really hope the guy can contribute, but until I see him running in a TFC shirt, i'm keeping my excitement muted.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

nice, looks promising

[flatpicker]

At least the transition should be easy for him.
Because Torino sounds similar to Toronto.
Seems logical...

[mastermixer]

We've all heard a few rumours like this brew up before, so I'm holding back any excitement for now. But he does look impressive.

[drewski]

hes serbian

nobody's perfect

This would bring our mid-field to 8 and if he is on loan, I'd wager the expectation is playing time:

1. Bouchiba
2. De Guzman
3. De Rosario
4. Lindsay
5. Peterson
6. Sturgis
7. Zavarise

... think this move might set the table for another move?

Done.

A couple of days later, after Patrick Vieira left for Manchester City on 8 January 2010, Stevanović made his Serie A debut the very next day on 9 January at home versus Siena by coming on as a sub for Thiago Motta in the 67th minute. Head coach José Mourinho made the substitution in direct response to Siena taking the 3–2 lead on a goal scored two minutes earlier. By the end, Inter managed to overturn the score 4–3 with an injury time winner.

In that game I put $5 on Inter coming back to win... He owes me nothing, thanks for your efforts Stevanovic!

[Pookie]

Done.

You get your 3s and 5s mixed up too, eh?
