Flip Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Balotelli has everything physically, but very little mentally, and that is the reason his career will go down as a failure. I love the certainty. It is amazing that one can hold such a final opinion on a man at the age of 20. Footballers are human and they change in similar ways to other people. Pato is the same age as Balotelli for all intents and purposes. He is less than a year older. Yeah but I'm sick to f*** of hearing about Pato from our resident Brazilian. Pato is a better player than Balotelli and Zlatan If you want honestly a talented player then look at Ganso. Neymar is back to his usual attitude so I won't compare him to Balotelli, although he's a very good player at this age already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 £14mil+ and probably not. Both IMO. Not totally sure how work permits work but I'd imagine he hasn't had enough caps/too young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 £15m+ and aye they'd make special dispensation I assume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you believe the rumours Ganso is pretty much a cert to move to either of the Milan clubs. Be a decent first step. From what little I've seen of the Brasileiro Série A its most similar to Italian in terms of pace and such. He'd fit right in at Milan like, new Kaka and all that. Inter have Sneijder.

Aye, I'd say he is more in the mould of a deep sitting Sneijder (from what I've seen). Wouldn't call him the new Kaka, unless he's changed since I last saw him. Totally different player.

Ikon Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just read about him, and you guys have mentioned him quite often as well. Even if we wont shell out that much on one player and that he probably wouldn't get a work permit either. But in theory if he's as good as the hype around him he would probably be a great investment even at 15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen that much of him but he is tall, rangy, elegant, 'number 10' esque hence the comparisons. Looks a bit like a tanned Barry Manilow too.

Not that it'll happen but I'm sure special dispensation is made for predigous talents who don't match up to Work Permit regulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How is Coutinho doing at Inter? Alright. Thrown in early under Rafa because of injuries and was one of the few who wasn't absolute shit at the start of the season. Had an injury and hasn't played much under Leonardo but will maybe play more as the season goes on. The thing is he's never going to displace Sneijder, so the only way he's gonna get into the team is wide in a 4-2-3-1. Leonardo keeps sticking with 4-3-1-2 even though every time the former is played the team looks far more functional and fluid. Anyway, he's only 18 so he has plenty of time. I think a loan is quite likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I do like Coutinho he's got a bit of the Robinho's about him. Mind you I've fallen in love with Robinho this year and I don't know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The one thing I will say about Coutinho that will go in his favour, is that he seems a very sensible and focused lad. Early signs is he will go in the opposite path to Adriano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a loan is quite likely. Only problem with Coutinho is age. And luckily that is exactly what he has got, time to develop. He's 18 and just like you said he was playing fairly well under Rafa. He also helped change the team against Bayern during the week but he still dwells too long on the ball and has absolutely no final ball at the moment bar some magical passes. Ganso won't leave Santos for less than £20 million I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
