Manuel Lanzini has gone from River Plate to Al-Jazira in UAE at 21, supposed to be a great talent.

 

Now that's a s*** move, not Valbuena going to Dynamo Moscow at 29.

 

He's not that good in the grand scheme of Argentina dwarf attacking midfielders. Better than that like.

 

Not seen but is Balanta still there?

 

How about Zuculini?

He's decent and looked good in a mediocre team but will likely flounder as moving from Argentina to PL as its a banana skin waiting to happen. If I were City I'd take a leaf out of Chelsea's book and park him in Europe as rank as that sentence is. How many players come from the non-Brazil leagues in South America and hit the ground running? Barely any.

 

Saying that, even though Poyet is a tosser, he does encourage a bit of passing football.

Some players must go to these clubs knowing it's unlikely that they will get a game for them but also it's likely that they will be loaned out where they are getting first team football and someone is still paying their massive wages. In that case it's pretty much a win win situation.

True, but honestly most players do not have the mentality to think, " I am not good enough for the top level and should stay at a smaller club for playing time". They genuinely think they can make it at these clubs. Rodwell for example had probably 100 appearances for a big club and was an England international at 21. What reason does a player like that have not to be ambitious?

Aly Cissokho.

 

I said to my brother tonight, "I honestly don't know anything about him"

 

My brother said: "You remember when we played Liverpool last season, and we both agreed that their left back was one of the worst defenders we'd ever seen? The one where you said he made Alan Hutton look like Cafu? That one?"

 

"Yes?"

 

"That's him".

 

That's three left backs bought and one loaned for a season from Lambo in two years. Meanwhile, if I rocked up at the training ground tomorrow, I reckon I'd be at least a contender to get into our midfield.

I am of the same opinion; if you believe you're good enough, there's no reason to reject an offer from a big club.

West Ham getting Morgan Amalfitano.

 

On a free too

 

Good player... What are WBA thinking?

 

He was only on loan at WBA, back at Marseille now.

 

Still, seems strange that Marseille are willing to let him go for nowt.

Thanks... Surprised we didn't go for him as he would give us some much needed creativity and composure...
