Optimistic Nut Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 We've signed 4 players from those countries, one was good (Helder), the other three were disasters. Doesn't mean you should rule them out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Signed loads of Shit English players aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Signed loads of s*** English players aswell Exactly. If in a year's time Sir Alex decided to quit Man Utd and said he'd take the Newcastle job, would we turn around and say "well the last two Scottish managers were sh*t so you can feck off".

NUFC06 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Luisao is class but i really doubt he will want to change playing regular Champions league football with Intertoto or no European football at all Never seen the other guy play so i cant comment about him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NUFC_FAN Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Heard us being linked with nelson of benfica. Would be great signing for us. Last season liverpool were linked with him but got scared off by the price! 18 MILLION. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 what actuallt happened to Helder...i know he's in Porto now, but why did he leave? Opted not to sign for us permanently. Shame really, he was a good centreback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 what actuallt happened to Helder...i know he's in Porto now, but why did he leave? Opted not to sign for us permanently.

tmonkey Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Aye, I think we should stay clear of spanish / portugese imports. Our past record is pretty woefull! We should go for more South Americans tbh. Nobby and Acuna were absolute bargains, 2mill and 1mill respectively. Can only think of Bassedas being the only South American flop that weve purchased in the past decade or so - a few others were shiite, but they were loans and/or trialists anyway. Bet you theres a whole host of players playing in South America who would turn out to be suprisingly good in this country/league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really, he was a good centreback. didn't deportivo want him back or they were asking too much ? 4mill was the price iirc, a price we werent willing to match, but the papers also had a few stories saying Helder didnt want to sign for us permanently, he wanted to go back to Spain. Cant remember why, but theres the obvious reasons of failing to settle, fearing an end to his international hopes ala Goma, etc. Goma was another defender who was pretty decent in his time here, not "good" but decent in comparison to players like OBrien, Dabizas, Bramble, etc. Funny how along with Distin and Helder, weve failed to keep some of our better defenders up here for different reasons.

Was Gavilan as well, though he looked decent at first before disappearing off the face of ther planet. should certainly be looking at Argentine or Uruguayan defenders as both nations have a pedigree for hard, ruthless bastards. Sorin, Heinze, Milito, Diogo would be a canny back four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
