Mr. Snrub Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Vagner Love is vastly over rated imo. So is Alves tbh. Yeah, totally. Only the 45 goals in 40 matches for Heerenveen. Shameful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Alves I think looks will do well here in the EPL. He at least has the physical characteristics,good in the air, pace, power, good free kick taker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the attributes needed to score in the prem. Alves is not the same type of player. Look at Kezman FFS how did he do here? hardly a list of shite players tho is it? even "failures" like Kezman and Kuyt are playing at a very high level for huge clubs, Huntelaar will probably go on to do the same. machlas is the only one i'd say was a medicore.

Dr Spectrum Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Seems like Benjani's transfer to Man City has now been confirmed. I'm sure you've noticed the little yellow bar has gone. "Sky Sports News Sources" strike again! Benjani: MCFC statement 04/02/2008 20:38 Manchester City have tonight corrected press speculation that Benjani Mwaruwari has completed his transfer to the club from Portsmouth. Some news organisations have this evening claimed in unattributed stories that the Portsmouth striker has joined the Blues. However a club spokesman said: “No deal has been completed. Manchester City remain in contact with the football authorities regarding this potential transfer, and any further developments will be announced first on mcfc.co.uk.” This deal is fishier than an entire Shola fish.

Syrette Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 That's a superb, superb deal. Given that he is 29. It'll rise to closer to the original figure if he makes 75 starts apparently, which I think is great business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
