Coxaux Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Realistic targets I'd be looking at: Goran Gavrančić Currently out on loan from Dinamo Kiev, would provide a real physical presence in the back four. Was famously part of the back four that concded one goal in the build up to the 2004 European cup. Christian Obodo A powerful midfielder that would add real steel to the midfield. However question marks remain over his fitness. Paulo Assunção Very classy defensive Midfielder available for a reasonable fee. His ball retention and experience make him a regular for Porto but the lure of the Premier League would surely be too much for the Brazilian. Rio Mavuba A younger alternative to Assunção, loaned to Lille and although he isn't a regular he looks a class act when ever he appears. Would add solidarity to the center of midfield, although a question mark would remain over his fee. Roberto Soldado Placed on the transfer by real madrid, Soldado would provide a direct replacement for Mark Viduka. His physical presence and ball control make him a handful for defenders and this mold makes him perfect for the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said the same thing F.Moreintes it is okay being a big tough Spainiard in Spain but most them get whacked out the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wright-phillips would've been a jump up and down on my sofa signing a week and a half ago... now its more of a "meh, but look spurs bought modric".

steve_69 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Royston Drenthe - He's not a regular starter for Real despite being class every time i've seen him come on. He could play on the left side of a 3 man midfield or cover left back if needed, and he's exactly the type of fullback Keegan usually goes for - quick, skillful and likes to bomb forward.

Taylor Swift Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Who and why? Sahin's a Turkish whiz-kid playing for Dortmund. Last I saw was a couple of years ago; looked quite fragile but was good on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Haven't heard much about Sahin over the last few years as apposed to the early hype like. He's at Feyenoord and scoring freely.

However, don't most players score freely in that league? Yes, they do... I mean N-Kufo (swiss national player) is one of the best scorers there, but he's totally unable to bang them in on an international level... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Printzlau Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Who and why? Nuri Şahin is a young attacking midfielder. He's the youngest player to have ever played in the best division of germany at the age of 16. He's just 19 now so he would be one for the future. He would definitely bring some creativity to our game. Stevan Jovetić is also a lad for the future. Despite being just 18 he's the captain of FK Partizan. He's a great striker who could develop into a world class player. Youtube and Wikipedia will give you some more information about the players.
