TaylorJ_01 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Don't really see him as a natural winger. But I guess he's the closest we come to having one. Either do I at all but that's what I thought he was. Not enough pace for the wing in the premiership in my opinion unless he is deployed like Barton is, which isn't really a winger.

Guest sydneycove Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Vukcevic signs for Blackburn. Give him 1 and a half seasons till he is at a top 6 club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Uruguay paper Ovacion has confirmed that Liverpool have signed Sebastian Coates for a fee of 6.5 million US dollars. Beeew. Hopefully he'll flop. Tor-Kristian Karlsen likes him, as many other European scouts he'd talked to, but everyone reckoned he was a too big of a risk.

Guest kingdawson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 eh? 6.5m US dollars? so under 4m pounds despite reports claiming he'd cost 12m plus.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Maybe I did read that after all. $6.5m is a lot of money for a Uruguayan club and I'd imagine there are add ons. Fail to see how he is a risk personally. He's come off the back of a fantastic season but you don't perform in the Copa America unless you've got something about you plus he is a big, physical player so that shouldn't be a problem. Only concern would be the pace of the game but that is the same with any foreign import. Having Suarez will probably help a great deal too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Different sums reported all over. Jen Chang reckon it's $11.5M (£7M). He also pretty much nails the positives and the negatives of Coates: - "Needs to make better use of his size, be more physical, unproven in Europe." + "Very positive in the more 'unteachable' traits, e.g. calm, decision making, reading the game well & positional instincts."

QBG Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Adebayor is a good signing for Spurs with their lack of options up front, Defoe was woeful on Monday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm jelly. Though indicative of the way the game has been headed, £365k per week is rather a good return. It's enough to turn anyone's head, particularly someone that has already accomplished achievements for which most footballers strive. How much did they pay Inter for him, just out of interest?
