“Buddy you’re a young man, hard man, shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day, you got blood on yo face, you big disgrace, wavin’ banner all over the place, we will, we will ROK you, we will, we will ROK you!” – that is what fans sing for Rok’s sake. Once I heard that song, could I pass by the Slovenian without any notice?
I got Buzeti to Blyth, although I did not really need any offensive midfielders. However, I thought that somebody like Rok could be useful. All in all, why should he waste the skills in some Maribor, if he can play in this fantastic club of Blyth Spartans, huh? Buzeti, encouraged by the friendly atmosphere of my team, agreed to the contract terms. So, why did I get him? First of all, his technique is good – he can pass, shoot from the distance, dribble; basically, he does all I demand from the offensive midfielder. In addition, Rok is fast, fit, determined, creative and incredibly bright. I think that his only remarkable disadvantage is crossing. Also, his headers, covering, strength and stamina could be better.
The equivalence for Buzeti’s training is 250,000 euro, which is a lot of money – for cash strapped teams, of course. Fortunately, we are all professionals and can get players like Rok for much less. After his third season in Maribor, I bought him for 61,000 euro. The Slovenian will do well in the weakest teams, but should also manage to play well in average clubs. I strongly recommend Rok Buzeti.
