Neven Subotic - Report

Subotić made his first-team debut for Mainz at the very end of the 2006–07 season, however he was unable to stop Mainz from being relegated from the Bundesliga. In the 2. Bundesliga the following year, he seized a starting role and quickly received high marks as one of the best young defenders in Germany despite his young age. After the 07/08 season was concluded Neven received several offers from other clubs and in the end moved to Borussia Dortmund. Subotic was extremely impressive for Dortmund and got his just rewards when offered a new long term contract which he accepted and is now contracted to the club until summer 2014.

Despite Subotic being a defender he has managed 6 goals in 35 games during his first season with Dortmund, wih his towering height he is always a dangerman from set pieces. He has an extremely strong both in his determination and mentally,and hence we believe he could easily cope with the high demands of the Premier League. The main features to Subotic's game are that he is a well built, strong player, a phenonmenal tackler and has also been noted for his ability to pass the ball . The promising defender is often praised for his footwork, especially when you consider that he stands at a tall 6'4. These features have led some people to believe that he would fit the role of a Defensive Midfielder player, although this has yet to be tested.

If you are looking for a player to compare young Neven too then look no further than ex Dortmund player Christoph Metzelder, we're talking about the Metzelder before his injury's and when he infact played for Dortmund. Lets hope the same does not happen to a player who could well be one of the best defenders in the near future.
