Reggina are second-bottom of Serie A.

maybe foreign imports for the shit teams

That link either shows how bad Serie A has become or how bad those journalists are. How could Hallfredsson's name be put alongside Chivu and Iaquinta?

Italian journalists must be like English ones. 'Oh look, Kevin Phillips is the top scorer for Sunderland, he has to be in the England team.' or 'Look at James Beattie. He is banging them in for Southampton. He must be called for up the next England game.'

And Spurs are fourth-bottom of the Premiership. So your point is?

I do not rate Hallfreddson, and I have seen more of him than most, but I am bemused by the responses to this thread.

typical english

Still believe they are world champions. Everything would be so great when they got a english manager for england etc........Didn't work out so well. :rofl:

It's the same thing when they compare different leagues

I agree with your sentiment in general, but Iaquinta is not a "foreign import" in serie a -- he's Italian. But to be clear, Halfredsson is not spectacular and is not worth 5 mil...

If a player like Bent is worth 16.5 mil

then i guess Halfredsson surely is worth 5 mil

It's time to wake up a little bit in here i guess :lol:

but Bent isnt worth 16.5million we had to pay over the odd's for him due to an increase of money put into the english game from TV deals i think it was :shrug:

This is going off on a tangent and will be locked if it carries on.

Erm, how many people here have watched all the games he's played in Italy? I get the impression most people are forming opinions of what they think he'd be like rather than what he's actually done. I don't ever recall him playing for us so I can't even say if he was crap for us

eddiebailey · Oct 20, 2007

Does anyone know how Reto is getting on in Italy?

DoublePivot · Oct 20, 2007

Or maybe he's having a blinding start to the season. While he may have never made it for us, Italy plays a much less physical and slower game with time on the ball and at your feet. He may just be blossoming under this style.

The Samp fans have high hopes for him apparently... Same as us

I guess very few has seen him.

I saw him in a reservegame, a few games for Iceland and even in the Swedish league. I can't see why he didn't get a chance....but i guess stranger things happens when Jol nominates the lineup

The great MJ did'nt think he was good enough to play in even the mickey mouse cup a.k.a. The League cup for us even though we were crying out for a left midfielder the last 2 seasons...:roll:

Michey · Oct 20, 2007

I can update you.........he been one of the best player in the first half against Inter right now. very good actually

On the subject of left-sided midfielders who got away, I see that Mark Yeates (who I always rated more highly than Hallfreddson) played a blinder for Colchester today, netting twice against West Brom.
