BOF Posted May 11, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2010 José Manuel Jurado from Atlético Madrid and Roberto Soldado from Getafe That is all We've a better chance of getting Soldado IMO not that it's a good chance to start with. Both superb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 We are perhaps going about this in the wrong way. Look at the Opta Stats for the clubs below us in the league, with the exception of Liverpool. Check out their best player. They are the one's we are likely to be after. We did the same with Dunne, Collins and Friedel, roughly, and I'd expect MON to do something similar again. This isn't an exact science but I'd guess is a consideratgion for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly,10 to a penny,he will be here still,laugh my tits of if he got the golden boot at the WC,no chance. Loads of players I've not seen or heard of and was wondering if someone in the know could start a thread just for video footage of all these players we talk about then everyone can look at it and comment back on here. If this is a shit idea or its already up an running i,ll get my coat,the one in white with arms tied round the back please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carew_villa Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 How can Paul Robinson and Kevin Davies both be the best player at Bolton? I would have thought Lee would be their best player on stats, I wouldn't mind having him at Villa actually, better than Downing, good work rate and only 22. Would also raise our profile in South Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 11, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2010 How can Paul Robinson and Kevin Davies both be the best player at Bolton? Isn't Paul Robinson at Blackburn? Incidentally he'd have made my England squad easily and apparently he's interesting Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-67 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'd happily take O'Hara and Fletcher as outfield players. The theory isn't as daft as it sounds. If you go one step further and pick the second best Opta stat player for each club as well. I'll happily donate £50 to VT if we don't sign one of these players. It makes sense to pick the best players at the respective clubs, I appreciate how soft that sounds, but Ireland isn't the best player at City, neither is Bellamy, neither is Keane at Spuds etc. It's a system that I genuinely believe that MON has some faith in.

claret75 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yossi Benayoun please...very very underated. Always thought he would be a very good signing, but not so sure about him now. How old is he? Would he be a very good squad player or starter? Just turned 30, starter...better than Downing IMO. Yep, I'd definitely go in for Benayoun, he runs at players and actually goes past them, opening space up for other. Exactly what we need at times. But Benayouns not a wide man is he? Doesnt he play just just in behind the striker? I know one thing for sure though, if we played Gabby and a smaller guy upfront together wed have to cut out a lot of the long balls. That's Yossi's preferred position, but Benitez has played him on teh right wing on many occasions. I don't agree with your assessment of playing Gabby and a shorter player, especially after this year. Gabby's gotten a lot better at playing with his back into the centerback, and has over the course of this season turned into a faster, goalscoring version of Lionel Heskey. As a matter of fact, one of the best goals Gabby ever scored was off of a long ball (at the Emirates last season, when he fought off Gallas, circus-sealed the ball onto his right, and hit it on the half-volley). Actually, one of the things that miffed me most about Sunday's match was that the Fonz didn't come on first, so we could see what the Gabby-Fonz partnership would look like. Im not saying stop playing long balls, just not so many because we wouldnt have Carew there to win the flickons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
