I've been impressed with Kadar everytime I've seen him. Considering his age I'd say there's a Reasonable chance he'll come good.

Animals with really human names always makes me laugh

Yep, the kid has some problems undoubtedly. Shame to let such a huge talent go IMO, even he is serious trouble (and is a Milan fan).

The thing is Balotelli is actually a genuine wonderkid talent. I can't see him ever fulfilling his potential in Italian football, he needs somebody to screw his head on in the morning.

I'd probably jizz. He'll go to Everton, Spurs, Villa kind of team though.

I know you're not being serious, but Endo has a rare form of tubercuolis which prevents him from obtaining a visa to move abroad. This is why despite heading towards the latter stages of his career he has never played in Europe.

More of a central/attacking midfielder I think, although I'm not completelty sure. He can probably play wide aswell.

He's a right good player. Would be happy to see him in the Prem. Man City should have been in for a player like that instead of Yaya Toure, really baffling sometimes. Meireles is overrated and not proven at anywhere near the highest level. Toure was a mainstay in one of the best sides of the last 50 years. I can see why they chose Yaya. Don't think we'll ever agree Man City don't need another DM style player, he is less expensive (by around £10mill) and wouldn't require £221,000 p/w. Guess they don't care about money though. I agree to an extent, but Toure is not really a complete DM. He has alot more attacking qualities than De Jong, Barry and modern day Vieira. I think he's an upgrade on everything else they have. He's a better player than Meireles, and for his position only Essien and Cambiasso are probably better at him in that role (and they're both untouchable). I see it as a statement of intent more than anything in getting a player who is the very best in his position - however sickening that may be. I highly doubt he's on 221k aswell btw, apparently City are sueing the paper over the story which suggests fabrication.

Just imagine how fucking disasterous that would be. Our players trying to be moulded into that fluid, dynamic Chile formation.

That sounds like the most random fixture ever devised

I'd like to see us get Dos Santos on loan from Spurs if he doesn't dissapear off to warmer climes. Think given the game time he could do really well.

Assassins?

After the first scouting method (Youtube) failed to yield much evidence for him, I've fallen back on FIFA WC instead. He's fast as fuck according to this.

Just found a blurry, flashy Youtube compilation of him. Unsurprisingly he looks like a World beater on it.

Looks like he's about to fall over the whole time aswell.

My picture post had nothing with your post to do I just found the picture if someone wanted to see him. Remind me of this guy: Aye, they're practically dopplegangers

I mean more in terms of position, playing style and career record more than what he looks like.

Looks like another Pancrate.

Be a good signing for someone who is better than us. No. He's not good anymore. Hasn't been good for some seasons now. Not rated in the Swedish national team either. Fair enough. I just saw his age and his record and though he'd be worth a punt.

You don't quite understand my point. He has a great record against teams of a similar standard to those we would face next season in the depths of the Premier League. If you think we can get a Drogba or a Rooney then feel free but I feel he was a very realistic, proven goalscorer. I do understand your point, the fact is you're wrong. He doesn't have a good record against teams of the standard we will be facing next season. He has a good record against Championship/League 1 standard teams. His record against the only Premier League standard opposition he's played against (Celtic) is shocking (1 in 27). Wigan, Bolton, West Brom, Blackpool are all miles ahead of Hibs, Hearts, Falkirk and Hamilton Academicals. Well I consider Celtic to be better than Blackpool, West Brom, Bolton, Stoke, West Ham and Wolves. Even if he scored half as many goals it would be priceless. I dunno like, even that's questionable. Celtic's transfer targets are Stoke and WBA cast offs (Lawrence and Koren). If anything I'd sayd they're of a very similar level. That's the point though, against the only comparable team to Prem standard he's done absolutely shocking, so bad to the point that Rangers often don't play him in Old Firm games because it's like playing with 10 men when he plays. The chances are he'd really struggle in the Prem, he has nothing to back his game up with when he inevitably fails against good opposition. There has to be a reason behind the fact that no Premiership team has gone for him, these teams have scouting networks (contrary to popular belief on here) who have obviously assessed that Boyd doesn't have anywhere near the attributes required to make it at a high level - there's reasoning behind why he's ended up at Boro along with all the other SPL exports. Another player from the SPL, Fletcher, who had nowhere near the same scoring record however had alot more assets to his game and had alot more ability to make the step up to a Premier League team. Hence why Burnley paid big money for him and subsequently Wolves also have.

Aye have last seasons with Cassano 99 on the back.

Pilko, man

perhaps back up to routiledge (in a sense) in a right midfield role I'm still living in hope that we'll sign an exciting wide player. Then again I'm also secretly deluding myself into thinking we'll get a new midfielder and a top striker aswell
