Baggio Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 How many South Americans have we had in the Premiership era? Five maybe (Solano, Acuna, Bassedas, Gavilan, Cordone, any more?), of which two have been a success of sorts, not a bad record. I hear Fergie and Sven want Smith and Barton back to replace Tevez and Elano though. That Colombian bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, fucking hell. 3 out of 6 then (I know some will argue Tino wasn't, 2.5 in that case ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 We've had more luck with South Americans than many other nationalities. Solano, Tino, the Robledo Brothers, Acuna, Mirandinha, they all did the business in one way or another and become firm fan favourites so this idea that we've had our fingers burnt with South Americans too many times and therefore we should stay clear is quite frankly, ridiculous.

Skeletor Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Acuna was a good player. Feels like we used to win more games with him in the team than not from memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Acuna was a good player. Feels like we used to win more games with him in the team than not from memory. I still think he was slightly overrated by fans because he never seemed to play bad when he did play which wasn't often, not consistently anyway, but he certainly looked a good player and I'd liked to have seen more of him in our colours.

Thespence Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Someone on here mentioned Real Zaragoza player after they got relegated, any of the following would do me: 2 DF Carlos Diogo 8 MF Pablo Aimar 20 MF Francelino Matuzalém 21 MF Alberto Zapater 22 FW Diego Milito 12 FW Ewerthon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Xabi Alonso seems to be up for sale by common consent. I don't know whether he'd come here or not, but if we could tempt him he'd be a fantastic signing imo, a real class act in the centre of the park.

AlanSkÃrare Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Its 02.22, the only funny people now are the ones whos drunk in the city, or maybe not. I remember Bodmer playing for Rennes or something, he was rated very highly in France as i recall. Played for Lille in the Champions League etc. up until last season. I think Lyon fiught hard to get him and that he is one of Ligue 1's most highly rated players. Probably stiff competition from Källström, Juninho, Toulalan etc. in Lyon though.

Cajun Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Acuna was a good player. Feels like we used to win more games with him in the team than not from memory. Would saying to Tooj yesterday how much I would love him in the squad now (obviously the younger version not him now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sondre Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Anyone here seen Anthony Annan at Stabaek? He is one half of the pair at Ghana's central midfield, the other half being Essien. Have seen him in the Norwegian league this year, and he has been real class, outshining every other midfielder in the league this year. Would come on the cheap, as the club who owns him, Start, got relegated last autumn, and is in real need of some cash. He has been linked to Pompy, Boro and Bolton recently.

Essien supposedly recommended him to Chelsea, and many other big clubs are after him. Still, I wouldnt mind a bid below the £3-4m mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elpapi Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 1 hour ago you wouldn't give any more information, now every post reveals new stuff... Not saying you're not telling the truth, in fact these lists seem quite possible, concerning whatever has happened in the past month i'm going for the wait and see option i wouldn't be too disappointed with a combined list of signings a la dunne, swp, gomis, turan, sessegnon though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
