This! I fear he could be Okaka 2.0. Okaka dominated in the younger leagues because his size trumped his lack of ability and Tallo looks to have quite a similar build. I also hope this isn't the case with Nego, as I hear he has great athletic ability the again Dani Alves only had athletic ability early in his career and he's phenomenal these days.
Rossi has re-torn his anterior cruciate ligament and is likely to face another surgery on the same right knee...Do you all think we should again try to sign him? I would say a definite no
Wow.... In the end he turn out to be the stereotypical injury prone American. Shades of Gooch and Holden. I feel bad for him.
Maybe 'soccer' isn't the child's play American culture makes it out to be. To be honest I think it is probably one of the most dangerous in terms of long term injuries. Contact sports in the vein of rugby may have more frequent injuries but when playing football at the tempo and pressure it's played at these days serious injuries appear to be very common.
Horrible for him but good for us. Means some of you can shut it about getting him and either Osvaldo and/or Borini will be at Euros.
because if they are involved in competetive competitions like that, they would improve there game big time for us.They would grow as players.Plus, better for marketting stuff maybe to us.
Exposure for the club by having more players on national teams (and hopefully performing well for national teams). It also helps acclimate them to big pressure situations which is a big step for most of our players (EL, CL). Obviously, injuries and lack off rest in the off season is a worry, but oh well.
Fabio Silva from United is set to go on loan next season. If we can't manage to pick up a decent wingback this summer he could be someone to look at for next season. http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2012/04/15/3037816/fabio-to-leave-manchester-united-on-loan
Aparently we are interested in singing Iñigo Martinez from Real Sociedad. His price is around 8 milion euros. Only thing I know about him is that he scored this great goal [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFNk0N86Cus"]Iñigo Martinez - Real Sociedad - Amazing goals vs Bilbao & Betis Sevilla ! - YouTube[/ame]
Can somebody please tell me what is happenin with Dodo? is he our player or what? Benedikt Höwedes is also linked with us...his price is between 13 and 15 million euros. I'd love him at Roma. This player has been developing a lot in the past two years.
Even his own goals are classy: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU6iq0zk3tE"]Best Own Goal EVER!!! Inigo Martinez (Spain U21) v Georgia - YouTube[/ame]
The good thing (if there is any) in that own goal is that they were winning 6-0 at that moment so he was little relaxed, but defender should never hit the ball backwards without checking back to see if the keeper wants to claim it or not. However, I hope it's just a slight blunder.
Sabatini has been reported to made an offer of 9 million for Vasco de Gama defender Dede. Hopefully this is true and we can land him around that sort of price. On Football Italia they are reporting we are going to sign Marquinho outright for 5 million. Seems like a good signing, he's slowly but surely shown his worth and recently his runs have benefited our style of play. They're also reporting that Sabatini is trying to get another loan deal for Kjaer, seems a lot more logical than signing him out right and gives him an other chance to prove himself.
