BOF Posted May 27, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2010 This just in. Man Utd get work permit for foreigner who hasn't played 75% of his country's internationals in the past 2 years without having to appeal it Who'd a thunk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 27, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah that makes me feel much better Chindie Sorry, I really rate the hell out of him though. If that worries you, don't watch He really is a good striker. The big question mark is how he'll take to a better level of defender here, but I'm fairly sure he'll be fine, sadly. He could be quicker and while he has ability, he's not the sort to skill up a defence, he'll beat them with a good touch and strength more often than a bit of genuine trickery. If they do sign him, it'll be done sharpish as well, he has a clause on his contract that allows him to leave for 40m Euros that ends on Monday apparently. ...Go to Milan you bastard!

Wol. Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 “I am determined to use my height and size as a strong advantage for the club.” “I can’t really see my height causing a problem to other players,” he admitted.” I like him already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artetasgirl Posted May 27, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2010 Well I'll be honest with you AG. I didn't shed a tear when I heard we were 'falling behind' in the race to sign him. I just wouldn't want him to be taking up a precious slot as one of our summer signings. I suppose with us, he's free, Yakubu looks to be on the way out, and Moyesy's top target is another "top" striker (as well as Beckford) it doesn't concern me as much because I'm sure if he knows what he is coming in for (I'm guessing cup/bench player) and if he does kick up a fuss or it doesn't work out, I don't see it being too difficult to offload him to the likes of Newcastle, etc., even if only on loan first.

VillaChris Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dzeko was brilliant the season before last but seemed to have gone off the boil lately with Wolfsburg stagnating. Looked pretty average in their two games against Fulham. Another forward for City to try to fit in somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, all I know is Leeds got him on a free transfer NC did pay for him and put him on too much money, kaspar offered to tear his contract up and waiver a fee, county said yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I agree with AG completely. Dzeko is a good player but I dont think he is worth as much as people say or he is as great as people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higuain wont happen as he is their best striker at Madrid even if Perez doesnt rate him and prefers Benzema. Unless jose doesnt fancy him either. As for Gago I hope it happens. A totally overrated and useless player that Real Madrid fans dont even like. No pace, no vision, no tackling and just stands there.

GarethRDR Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Good move for both player and club imo Good move for the player. Absolutely crap move for the club. Unless he has come on in leaps and bounds since his Citeh days (which I admit is possible) then he is a complete liability at any decent level (i.e. not league 2). I've played football and built lego spaceships with Kasper Schmeichel. I was better than him at one of these things. 8) Unfortunately, I did also try and convince him that Neville Southall was a better keeper than his Dad before he told me who he/his Dad actually was. In hindsight... he was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Man City have been linked with Higuain. Why would he go there? Because Real Madrid have spent the best part of a 18 months trying to get him out of the club and he is earning a quarter of the amount of money that the player who he is keeping out of the side is earning. Robinho all over again, albeit with a better player involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
