I wanna talk about the man that they call the 'African Hulk'.
Can't say that I've seen mass's of him. Bits and bobs.
Not great technically, but bloody cool in front of goal.
Another up and coming gamble that would be worth taking. Unless we're still happy trying and failing to sign our world class Berbatov replacement....
He's one I want aswell. Was following him last season at Lecce and he impressed me. Unfortunately all the kids will jump on here also because of how he is in FIFA13Luis Muriel. Udinese CF.
Very few youngsters in the world today excite me as much as this lad. He's basically a mini Ronaldo and I'm talking the real Ronaldo. He's quick, but it's the power that sets him apart. Opponents bounce off him when he has the ball. He's also very skillfull. Can certainly take a man on. There's alot of work to be done on him but he could go all the way to the top.
That would require our scouts to be proactive though and that seems to be an alien concept to the Club.
GieferGiven Holtby's impact I really think we should be looking to Germany more often. I could be wrong but I think Holtby was a good player rather than a star, which implies there are lots more like him. So come on the Bundesliga afficianados, Thowig and others, enlighten us with other potential Holtbys.
Shaktar Donetsk AM starlet Henrikh Mkhitaryan, scored 20 goals in 26 games (all competitions) this season. Looks like a real talent.
Oh and his wikipage says he's fluent in five languages which are: Armenian, Russian, English, French and Portugese (hint to André)
Scouting is art. Very few clubs are very good at it.
Pitroipa Rennes FC. Look, this lad would be a fantastic pic up. Can play on either wing and is one of the best dribblers in the world today. He'll probably be named the afcon player of the tournament so is his impact. We have to get this done asap. Used to see him play when I'd watch M'villa a couple of seasons back and he's clearly gone up a level.
Kone CB. We have to get our scouts on his case. He's a class defender. He reads the play so well and is always calm. He's really looked class in the african nations cup.
Cardozo CB Free State Stars. Look, I know that us signing south africans hasn't really gone well but this lad is the dogs bollocks. The only reason he isn't playing for the South African national team is that he doesn't play for one of the big clubs in the land. He reminds me so much of Rio Ferdinand in the sense that he knows what's going to happen before it does. He's much better than Bongani Khumalo its unreal. We should at picking him up as it could the bargain of the century. The next Lucas Radebe IMO.
Next big German star made his debut for Schalke today, assisting Michel Bastos' equaliser.
Max Meyer, remember the name.
