How big is he going to be when he's 20?
I sure hope he won't grow or fill out much more. Don't think Vuskovic turning into an oil tanker like Maguire would necessarily be a good thing.
For example, I remember Dier being a lot more nimble in his early 20s before he lost all mobility.

Super exciting talent though. Can't wait until he joins to see what he's all about!

He's a big unit so hopefully he's not on EPO like his brother.


Must be referring to this which I was not aware of myself.

I was his size at 16, its possible to be a larger than average person without drugs
Yeah this is true but when someone's caught using EPO then his younger brother turns into a man mountain you have to see the possibility. The good news for us is it will be long gone from his system before he is anywhere near a drugs test or playing for us even if he had.

EPO improves oxygen consumption and time to exhaustion by increasing red blood cell mass, which is why it was used so much in cycling. I don't think you can become a colossus by taking it.

I was 6'3" at 15, I didn't get any taller but it made getting served in pubs without a check a piece of doddle...

Same. I was 6'2" and stopped growing at 16, sadly. I was hoping for more growth elsewhere, but you have to work with what you get. :whistle:

By register in 2025, does this mean January 2025 or July 2025? If he's here in 15 months that would be excellent

Guys, you don’t build East German mountain size hulks with EPO. EPO doping can boost the number of red blood cells and there by increased availability of oxygen to the muscles. This can help the athlete with increased performance ability and endurance. Think Lance Armstrong and Tour de France, not Arnold Schwarzenegger and bodybuilders.
