:dance: i missed you, dude :up:

Emana wasn't good enough for Newcastle or West Ham and it wouldn't make any sense to put yet another new blood midfielder in the side who has not a shag of an idea of English Football. He's old enough that he'd want a proper contract and wouldn't get the games he expects. Wilson is better.

Odonkor is too much of an injury worry for the money he'd expect too. I don't see Harry taking that kind of gamble right now and, besides (and i can't believe i'm saying this) why do we need another average right winger? We can get better.

You remember I talked about Emana when he played for Toulouse. He is now up for grabs again, as Betis got relegated. Emana was their top goal scorer with 11 goals. He is a midfielder. Emana would be a great signing for us. Let's sign Oliveira aswell, please.

Odonkor is also one we could consider, if he is available for a good price. We have to do some bargain shopping this summer, as we have paid so much overprice for players again last season. There are so many bargains available in the different leagues.

and thats why i am SO happy the transfer window is open! Have missed these suggestions :beer:

SpursKing,

What is your opinion of Danny Glover? I think he's a very good player and he showed in Leathal Weapon 3, that he's very good at kicking. He's also very tough and maybe that's what we need?

With hopes of a response,
Savage.

Odonku is bloody aweful. If you thought Lennon had poor delivery, you should see this guy.

I'd prefer Bent to Oliveira anyday of the week too.

An interesting thing about Emana, is that he played numerous times for Toulouse on the LW. So if Harry was genuinely interested in Muntari, who can play both as a CM or LW, a move for Emana would make sense.

He was far and away Toulouse's best player, and someone posted that he was in the La Liga team of the season even though Betis have been relegated.

La Liga Team of the Season:

Palop​

Dani Alves – Puyol – Albiol - Filipe​

Emana - Xavi - Iniesta​

Higuain – Forlan - Messi​


Achille Emana (Real Betis) – His arrival in Andalucia was greeted with muted happiness, with some calling into question his match fitness and attitude. A healthy goal haul later, most of his critics are now silent. The Cameroonian has a habit of scoring screamers, and also terrorising opposing defences with surging runs forward - just what the doctor ordered for the struggling Beticos.

I thought I wasn't imagining it. Zokora-style surging runs, but they end up without him falling over or sending the ball into Row Z. He can get stuck in, too.

Yeah i said that.

He is brilliant. I abslutely love Spanish football because of the electric pace that sides counter attack at, and he is a player that fits that style perfectly. Strong on the ball and equally strong off it in the tackle, he really reminds me of Appiah in his prime. He also has an absolute cannon of a shot on him. I cant think of a better and more available option than him as our more attack-minded midfielder to partner Palacios, especially as he can drift out to the left and cover for Modric when he cuts inside.

Glover appeared on my scouting radar while I was watching Predator 2, but I'd also appreciate a more informed assessment of his abilities

I imagine he twists his head around prior to taking penalties

power, pace, good leadership qualities. everything that should constitute a 'one to watch +', but unfortunately glover is too old for this shit.

Odonkor looks set to return to Germany so he can win a spot for South Africa.

He is just a player we should sign if we got him very cheap. A player Redknapp maybe can get the best out of.... Only if he was available for a very small transfer fee, and low wages.

I've just checked up on how this load of old toot did this season. With the exception of the two who are actually any good (Cavenaghi and Emana) and the two mediocre ones (Gomiss and Cissé), they've all been complete shit. Hot tip Dja-Djedai-Knight, far from making his big Ligue 1 breakthrough with Grenoble, went back to Ligue 2 with Strasbourg, and has been rubbish.

Oh dear.

You are not seriously suggesting that Djibril wifebeating Cisse is better than Bent are you?

From that list I'm interested to hear what people think of Elia. He was linked with HSV in Jan and looked to be going there in the summer, but now Jol has gone to Ajax, Elia is linked with them.
