Dave Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hopefully our scouting network will judge the player on an individual basis and look at what attributes he has that we need rather than judging him on other players who've failed to make the grade. Merely pointing out that it seems difficult to judge the quality of players playing in the SPL as the competition there is so mixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hutton's looking quite good so far... As for this Cuellar bloke, i've heard some good stuff about him but iv'e only seen him play once. Apparantly we're after him too, so can someone tell me what his pace is like? fast? slow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though, if we end up with Cuellar it's near enough certain you lot will get Dunne and vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Cuellar hasn't just looked good, he's looked absolutely outstanding. That's what everyone is so excited about, he's like a one man back four. The SPL is not the best level to judge a player from but you can get a pretty good idea of how good someone is from the Uefa cup, and Cuellar looked immense in that competition as well.

Baggio Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Newcastle target Mbark Boussoufa is reportedly set to sign a new deal with current club Anderlecht, thus ending speculation of a move to Tyneside. The Morocco international, who came through the famed youth system at Ajax before a stint as a youth player at Chelsea, had attracted interest from The Magpies as well as Atletico Madrid, Marseille and Lens. However, after some uncertainty over his future Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws has reported that Anderlecht have a new deal prepared for the 23-year-old to sign. Boussoufa – who deals with his own contract matters and does not use an agent – had been in negotiations with the club for some time over a new deal. “Of course he has made the right choice by staying at Anderlecht,” said former Anderlecht player and current youth scout Par Zetterberg. “This season he has only played at his best for six months and he wanted to prove himself. Next season he must prove he can play for 10 months. “He must also become a player that makes the difference at Anderlecht.” Boussoufa’s new deal will commit him to the Jupiler League club until the summer of 2012. http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/05/20/Prem-Boussoufa-signs-new-Anderlecht-deal/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My only worry about Cuellar, is that he's been excellent in a side geared up to not lose games with ten-men behind the ball. The way we play, he's going to be under pressure a lot more in one-on-one situations and against more counter-attacks. Will be interesting to see if he can deal with that.

Boumsong had problems with us, think his wife had/has cancer so a lot of his problems werent football related. Cuellar would be a great signing and think he could deal with the EPL. He has played in La Liga with Osasuna dont forget! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his European performances. And he has been outstanding in Europe, champions league and the entire uefa run no doubt about it. For me he does everything you would want a defender to do and he does it on an extremely consistant basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The problem is that in Europe Rangers have been playing with an 8 man defence. Even Weir has looked good in that set up. I'd much prefer Dunne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
