vandaq Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think the whole family of Hazard is athletes, all of them are pretty good as well, but I guess its safe to say that Eden has gotten the furthest so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2013 Some families churn out top sportsmen. Look at the Brownlees in triathlon (there's a third brother on the way up there, too). Same with Jon Jones the UFC light heavyweight champion. His two brothers play in the NFL. Very true look at Ron and Dalian Atkinson I was also going to mention that Chelsea tend to sign married players, to keep some squad members happy.

I've heard that some squad members would actually help with scouting in regard to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamski Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just read interesting article on Russian soccer.ru website. Website writes about six most influential footballers playing in Russian League this season. Ivelin Popov is one of these six guys. Portal says that without doubts he can be transfered to one from Bundesliga or Premier League. Website sugest that club from these leagues are interested in buying Popov. He played great season for his club Krasnodar. ............................... I remember somebody here said that he remembered that some time back Popov was close to signing for the club from England. I don't know which club the poster meant but I know for sure that when Blackburn played in the Premier League they wanted him. The problem was not enough games played for Bulgaria by Popov at that time and no work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamski Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Players from that list: Bobras Natkho - Rubin Kazan Mbark Boussouffa - Anzhi Makhachkala Alan Dzagoev - CSKA Moscow Ivelin Popov - Kuban Krasnodar Viktor Fayzulin - Zenit St. Petersburg Keisuke Honda - CSKA Moscow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Honda and Dzagoev nice company to be in. Haven't heard of the rest of them - hopefully Lambert has them in the dossier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back at that time we had a fantastic signing system in place and were usually right when it came to transfers so kind of a good omen for Villa.

Lamski Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 This is last Krasnodar game and wonderful goal from Popov that gave them League Europe this Year. Kuban-Anzhi 1:0 What a finish! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsHg58_Erh8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 New Novinite article with new quotes Bulgaria international Ivelin Popov has revealed that former Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov told him about the club’s interest in signing him. “Yes, Aston Villa are seriously interested in signing me. Stiliyan Petrov told me that. I am currently in talks with a lot of people, but let’s see what happens,” the 25-year-old Kuban Krasnodar forward told Bulgarian reporters on Wednesday, as cited by BGNES. Popov reiterated that the Aston Villa deal is far from done.“I have two years on my Kuban Krasnodar contract, so the transfer fee will be high. Let’s wait and see what happens,” he said. Another Bulgarian international, 23-year-old Lech Poznan winger Aleksandar Tonev, is reportedle on the verge of signing for Aston Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted June 5, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2013 Players from that list: Bobras Natkho - Rubin Kazan Mbark Boussouffa - Anzhi Makhachkala Alan Dzagoev - CSKA Moscow Ivelin Popov - Kuban Krasnodar Viktor Fayzulin - Zenit St. Petersburg Keisuke Honda - CSKA Moscow We were linked with Boussouffa a few years ago, either when MON or Houllier was in charge. Looked very talented with the ball on the obligatory YouTube clips, but very lightweight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
