Tooj Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 To be fair to him I've never seen his performances for Samdoria, I just remember all the hype, yet in Euro 2004 he bombed while a certain Rooney who many Italian fans were saying was nowt compared to Cassano showed him how it's done. Just never been impressed by him. Just as a footnote to that, Rooney has done nothing since then in an England shirt to justify that hype. Joe Cole's probably been the one player for England since then that looks like he can do something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'd love to see us make a bid for the out-of-favour Bayern Munich midfielder Bastien Schweinstager (sp?). Strong midfielder, with a good gengine and a wicked long range shot. According the coverage of the Bayern game against Getaffe, Schweinstager has rarely featured for Hitzfeld's Bayern this season. Of course this may be a case if him just waiting out Hitzfeld, and waiting for Klinnsman to arrive for whom he featured strongly in the 06 World Cup. I thought Schweinstager was great for Germany in the WC, and am suprised to hear that he is out of favour at Bayern. Wonder what he would cost though?

Thespence Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Cassano is not on a Bosman, a fee has already been agreed with Samp & Cassano is going to take a huge pay cut to join Samp. Real Madrid are paying the bulk of his wages this year. Good player looked like he was going to follow Baggio, Del P & Totti onto the world stage when he got his move from Bari to Roma but looks like he will be a very good domestic player but never a global player.

simonlemagnifique Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thierry Henry according to Michael Walker in the Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-united-3-reading-0-keegan-kickstart-trick-has-newcastle-dreaming-of-star-signings-805459.html No quotes mind, but still, here you go... So now today is all about tomorrow. And the dream. And the dream is Thierry Henry. Keegan said it a few weeks ago to a young boy on a local phone-in and he repeated Henry's name again this week at one of the many low-key functions Keegan attends on Tyneside. Henry may sound like fantasy football but Keegan has also expressed pragmatism – "We need at least one new left-back." But a tone has been set and it is over to Mike Ashley, absent here. "The owner is the one who's going to have to find the finances for whatever's going to happen," Keegan said. "Mr Ashley said he wanted to win something in three and a half years. When we sit down in the next few weeks we'll see how desperate he is to win something in that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwienstager is no MidFielder in the Ronaldo role, but perhaps the holding DM is not quite his best role. Certainly playing the Barton/Geremi role in the 4-3-3 would suit him. Still like to see him in the B&W Stipes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 of those I`d take: Does anyone know if there is a list of players available on Bosman frees in the Summer? I've found this but you have to register: - http://www.givemefootball.com/transferdirectory/proregister.cfm It seems to only cover PFA players. It has a ringing endorsement from "Sam Allardyce, Manager : Newcastle United"! Also, found this list dated 27/02/08, using Google. I'm not sure how accurate it is: - http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/celtic-chat/33092-summer-bosmans.html Jorquera Sylvinho Edmilson Santiago Ezquerro Jose Izquiredo Bernardo Romeo Pasqual Cygan Robert Pires Wes Brown Sami Hyypia Harry Kewell Hilario Zoltan Gera Patrick Muller Bernard Mendy (back up for Beye) Mario Yepes Sylvain Armand Johan Micoud Abdelaziz Kamara Jonathan Perina Ludovic Magnin Daniel Bierofka Zlatan Bajramovic Gustavo Varela Pierre Wome Jurcia Vranjes Ivan Klasnic Athrison Carsten Ramelow Dmitri Bulykin Veljko Paynovic Maxi Rodriguez (not sure he`d come but would be fantastic on the right) Ewerthon Loukas Vyntra Turaci Soti Kyrgiakos Alexander Meier Javier Zanetti Olivier Dacourt Hernan Crespo Luis Jimenez - creative player that can play on the wing/2nd striker Santiago Solari Antonio Cassano Pavel Nedved Nuno Frechaut Ivica Krizanac Anthony Seric Ezequiel Gonzalez Tomas Sivok Angelo Bassinas Thiago Motta Juan Valera Nuno Valente Danny Murphy Phillipe Christinval Nobby Solano - cover for a top class right winger who i hope we sign but i guess he wants to stay in London Wilfred Bouma Roman Bednar Lee Wallace Kanu Geovanni Dietmar Hamann Kasper Schmeichel Fabio Laverani Tomas Ujfalusi Eugeni Aldonin Marcos Assuncao Kanga Akale Vadim Karlaschuk Antonio Nunez Jorge Larena Vlad Munteanu Mama Bagayoko Alan Rochat Jerko Luko Olivier Veigneau Sebastian Kehl Philip Degen Thomas Chatielle Guillame Gillet Sherif Ekramy Edgar Davids Sammy Kuffour Puis Ikedia Leo Andrea Luiz Marat Izmailov Moura Pinherio Derlei Mark Fitzpatrick Ross McCormack Guillaume Beuzelin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
