Kanji Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'd have taken 40 and Ramires, tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sow and Cardozo up front in the Turkish league Should be interesting. Galatasaray are clearly better nowadays but Cardozo guarantees goals like few. I hope he stays in Lisbon but after that problem with Jorge Jesus... not likely. Bony - possible replacement. I believe he was linked to Newcastle in January. Still is, but we'll miss out coz were good at that sorta thing. Dekka and Ash absolutely love a transfer saga don't they?

Disco Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hard to believe he's 30 now. Fucking hell. Watched the 02-03 season review t'other day to remind my Man U supporting lass of when we were great. Christ, Hugo looked sensational at times during that first season, what a left foot. I did same watching our top 20 goals of the season, was suprised how many he was scoring/involved in.

Mr. Snrub Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 @RorySmithTimes Chelsea have had a £40m bid for Cavani rejected. Also offered one player in part-ex: not Torres or Ramires. Napoli want £53m, nothing less. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Demba_Ba_Sinsheim.jpg/180px-Demba_Ba_Sinsheim.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If only Napoli still wore the same strip as when Maradona was there. Could have been a good marketing campaign for their sponsors getting him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Viana was class in the under 21 tournament prior to signing for us and looked a world beater. I was so excited when we signed him. I really liked him as a player. You could see he had real quality, a great touch and vision to go along with it. Just a shame he was tectonically slow otherwise I think he would have been excellent for us. As things were he just couldn't keep up with the pace of the game here.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Do people dislike Ba now? I don't understand why they would. If Chelsea pay Torres to play somewhere else, which I think they will, Ba will have plenty of chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Viana was class in the under 21 tournament prior to signing for us and looked a world beater. I was so excited when we signed him. I really liked him as a player. You could see he had real quality, a great touch and vision to go along with it. Just a shame he was tectonically slow otherwise I think he would have been excellent for us. As things were he just couldn't keep up with the pace of the game here. I watched that tournament... Viana was decent but you could tell the rest of the team were doing his running for him... He was never at any stage looked like a world beater... Nice left foot but couldn't see how he would fit into our team at the time or our league... And so it proved... It's one of footballs myths that he was exceptional in that tournament...

STM Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Wasn't he European young player of the year? I feel his career could have been much different. Came to us at the wrong time, he was never going to replace Speed and he was no left winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Just been at a Uni open day and they showed us glossy magazines produced by last year's students.

Disco Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Isn't this Young Player of the Year thing a bit of a misleading thing anyway given that their isn't an official award?

But not all awards are deserved... Could've... Should've... Would've... Didn't... Hasn't... Won't... He's never scaled the heights... You'll struggle to google the history of EYP award winners... It's no great guideline for sure if Viana is anything to go by... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
