Thespence Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Adriano's first touch is worst than Martins'. And the last time he scored goals on a consistent basis was about 2 years ago. 11 goals in 17 games for Sao Paulo The Brazilian league is quite different from the Premiership. Romario scored goals there until he was 42! Teddy Sheringham was scoring in the Premiership when he was 41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Kevin Keegan insists he won't be frightened to sign problem players with "warts" as he rebuilds Newcastle. Toon bosses have tried to tame a succession of bad boys in recent years and had their fingers burned, most recently with £6million midfielder Joey Barton. But Keegan, who intends to keep Michael Owen as his long-term skipper, accepts that he may have to shop for stars who have have been in hot water, or become misfits at their clubs, and turn them around. Barton is currently on bail and must be back at the Sporting Chance Clinic in Hampshire by 7pm each night, ruling him out of matches in the North as he banks his £40,000-a-week wages. Advertisement He is due in court in March to answer an assault charge, but Keegan has pledged to back Barton and get him playing again. Craig Bellamy, Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer have also been the talk of the Tyne for the wrong reasons. During his first reign Keegan got the best out of temperamental David Ginola and took unfashionable players and made them stars. Keegan will adopt a similar strategy again, explaining: "In this area, we're not always going to get the very best - we sometimes get the ones with warts on, like they've had a problem somewhere. "And the secret is can you get the best out of them, can you give them something that's been missing? "I'm not saying we're going to look for awkward players, but that's what we did last time. "We got a few players in at the start who for one reason or another hadn't worked out, but we knew they had ability and hunger. "People like Brian Kilcline came, then Paul Bracewell, Barry Venison and Rob Lee. Then we mixed them with a few fresh faces like Andy Cole. "If you go back it didn't happen overnight although people think it did. We formed a team, we got up, we nearly won the league, but it was a real good process." Keegan has pledged to make attractive wing play a feature again with star roles for Damien Duff and James Milner, and also potential new signing Shaun Wright-Phillips. Keegan said: "When you talk to Damien the desire is there, so that's the only thing you need. He's got the ability, he's just had injuries and he's now much more experienced. He can get better and improve here. "Wingers and players who can go past people have always been very important to me because they change matches. Can we get more out of them in an inventive way? I think we can." http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2008/01/22/kevin-keegan-i-ll-buy-bad-boys-89520-20294350/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Martins wants Adriano’s partnership By ROMANUS UGWU Tuesday, April 4, 2006 Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins was in the 24-man squad that jetted out to Spain on Monday for the UEFA Champions League second leg quarterfinal gain against Villarreal today. Club’s manager, Mancini, whp loaded his squad with four strikers, Mancini charged his players to be attack minded, irrespective of the result of the first leg. “I need Inter to play like they can and like they have always done without trying to defend the first-leg result which gives us small advantage. We will have to try and have the right attitude. The team's attitude on the pitch will be important,” he affirmed. Mancini added that he had secreet studied the Spanish side, adding: "I already knew Villarreal because I had seen them play a number of times. We knew it would be a hard match, then everything became more difficult after they took an immediate lead. They are a solid team who can do damage in attack because of the quality of their players." Speaking on the match, Obafemi Martins believed he would be beginning to gel with the Brazilian international, Adriano, adding that he would want more of their partnership. "I don't know if Adriano and myself are the perfect couple for Inter, but this is a coach's decision and I'm not the coach. What is sure is that together we feel really good and we must continue this way," he noted. The Nerazzurri travelled with three goalkeepers, eight defenders, nine midfielders and four attackers. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/soccerstar/2006/apr/04/soccerstar-4-04-2006-003.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Playboy lifestyle cost demanding Adriano a Premier League move Last updated at 10:49am on 4th September 2007 Inter Milan striker Adriano, whose £125,000-a-week wage demands priced him out of a move to Manchester City and West Ham, has been accused of spending his money on a playboy lifestyle. Brazilian Adriano, 25, told West Ham that he would reconsider a loan move to the Premier League in January but Alan Curbishley may be more than perturbed to hear Italian reports say he has been dropped from Inter's Champions League squad, with his poor form blamed on his party lifestyle. Adriano is alleged to be spending £28,000 a week living in the suite of a five-star Milan hotel, despite having a home on the outskirts of the city, and partying. His drinking has already cost him club fines and suspensions for missing training. Adriano has admitted having a booze problem. He said: 'I like going to nightclubs and discos and try to get rid of my problems through alcohol.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=479770&in_page_id=1779 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Ashley Cole!! As for that Keegan article about problem players, there cant be too many high profile players who have that reputation, who do you think might be aimed at? Am i reading too much into it? that articles seems relevant to our future transfers-as well as the specific mention of South American players....albeit that would maybe contradict my theory....
