Thanks for this, quality is missing in a couple of shots but I appreciate you putting it up for us. Rep for you.
If we get him, there has to be either a sign or a chant with the words "Unleash The Beast". Besides the whole playing time thing, I'm sure Jose would love to see him at Highbury.
Wow...based on that video, I think this is just the type of player we need...pace, passion, bottle, skill, finishing, good in the air, plus I'm sure his arrival would help settle Reyes further. Here's hoping we sign him soon before ManUre can get their dirty meathooks on him.
Thanks for the video bigp, and even set to moby. Trying not to get overly optimistic but would love to see him in red (sorry claret) and white (sorry gold) for the upcoming season.
Thanks for the vid. From that video (since I haven't seen him play before), it looks like he has a nice first touch and an ability to get into position to threaten the goal. He looks like the poacher that some have been clamouring for whenever the topic of Owen comes up. Not sure about his ability to play the link up game usually employed, though. Also, with him making a run at the goal and Henry generally coming from deep, I'm not sure who will be linking from midfield to the attack (a la Bergkamp) unless that's the role that Hleb is expected to fill from the middle (opposite Vieira) or cutting in from the right. All in all, looks like an interesting addition.
Nice work with his head. He's certainly unlike any player we have. Could be a great addition but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. And I wouldn't assume the move would help to stabilize Reyes. They could hate each other for all we know. GJ40
Why would ManUre want him? They already have Ruud, Rooney, Smith and Saha. It doesn't make any sense unless they are getting rid of one of them. The only other possibility is that they are not serious about it, but want to force Arsenal to pay more for him, thereby depleting Arsenal's transfer budget.
The Fiver said yesterday that Smith was going to go to Newcastle and that Saha would be loaned to Everton, though these are just rumors.
If Man Ure does sign THE BEAST chances are he'll be played as a replacement for Scholes, instead of as a striker. He can be played as a striker, as an attacking midfielder and as a defending midfielder (he started his career as a promising defending midfielder). Anyway, I am sure we can get him ahead of Man Ure, with Reyes and all.
IM SO EXCITED OF THE PROSPECT, IV GOT AN ERECTION, HE'LL BE TEN TIMES BETTER THAN "THE HORSE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news! Sevilla has signed another striker. Presumably, this is to replace the Beast. http://www.goal.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=71545&idSez=17
