From the Guardian Christian Bolanos, Deportivo Saprissa David Pleat Tuesday December 20, 2005 The Guardian A trip to Japan for the Club World Championship allowed me to keep an eye open for foreign players who might make it in the Premiership, and this Costa Rican winger impressed me. I predict he will find a new home for his talents in England or continental Europe after the World Cup. Christian Bolanos plays in his homeland for Deportivo Saprissa, and a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised by his ability when they see him in action for Costa Rica against Germany in the opening game of the World Cup. He has pace and skill and is prepared to shoot when he cuts inside. It was his goal against Sydney that set up the meeting with Liverpool. Saprissa looked overawed, but Bolanos did not share those nerves. He wanted the ball and showed shrewd positioning by coming to receive from the touchline and then turning and facing defenders. Article continues His opponent from his position on the left was Josemi. Bolanos ran the ball with some style at the Spaniard and it was noticeable that Steve Finnan was back in the Liverpool team for the final against Sao Paulo. Shielding the ball strongly, Bolanos used his natural body swerve to go on the inside. But he also had the courage and confidence to try the outside, and showed when he popped up on the right that he is comfortable on either wing and can cross to good effect from both flanks. I saw shades of the former Liverpool winger Steve Heighway in the way Bolanos played the ball in one direction, cut back sharply and went the opposite way, taking the ball with close control with the outside of his right foot. He has a good physique and an all-important change of pace. He showed an ability to move quickly with the ball, become almost stationary and then move off again, leaving defenders trailing. The pen-pictures for the Saprissa team included some journalistic licence, or translation mistakes, with José Francisco Alfaro Saborio referred to as "frightful in the air". But Bolanos' description was spot-on in calling him "direct and dangerous". I was impressed not just by his work with the ball but by a couple of runs off it, when only last-ditch covering prevented him receiving a diagonal pass from a midfield colleague. He showed intelligence to seize the space between Josemi and Sami Hyypia. The signs are that he can also track back, a vital requirement in the Premiership. Against Liverpool and in the third-place game against Al Ittihad he looked to be a worker. He needed to be alert against Liverpool because the Saprissa left-back was constantly dragged inside by Steven Gerrard. That left acres of space for Djibril Cissé or Josemi to get into, so Bolanos was forced to put energy into getting back. Other attributes would need closer inspection. For example, how strong is he in the air and can he combine well with his colleagues? Differences of culture and language could also be stumbling blocks for him. In Costa Rica he can earn £70,000 a season, giving him a very comfortable life in a country where the average annual salary is around £10,000, but Europe beckons. Few Costa Ricans have excelled here, though Paulo Wanchope has succeeded intermittently. This youngster looks worthy of a chance. How he rates Age 21 Nationality Costa Rican Position Midfield Height 5ft 9in Weight 10st 6lb Speed 8/10 Crossing 7/10 Skill 8/10 Team responsibility 7/10 Shooting 8/10 Pleat's valuation £500,000 (reflecting the status of his current club)

someone remind her that if you shaft you employer he tends to be hostile when he returns however much he's done for then in the past I had a lad working for me for 7 years i took him on as a stupid little 16 year old trained him up ,even helped him to buy his first house made me some good money in his last three years of working for me . then one day he comes in and says i've got another job and is leaving in 1 week. well shafted me and left me in the sh*t for 8 weeks tiill i got someone to replace him. yet when he turned up this christmas at my door with a card i told him to f*ck off . strange that if owen he had gone to the management when he had two years left and said I've a burning desire to play for real madrid things would have been fine but he didn't did he Owen is only really interested in getting caps and goals for england

One down 3 to go

look what Josser did to finnan when he arrived think that finnan know nows he'll always be infront of Josser time to push him again ps reading a article from last year Amerdam Tournament With the summer month of June starting today, the clubs do not need to bother on draws and victories, but selling and buying players is the name of the game these days. Rumours all over the place, let us see which are the most recent ones. Following the website of Dutch soccermagazine Voetbal International AZ-fullback Jan Kromkamp is disappointed in his club AZ. FC Porto, the new club of former AZ-manager Co Adriaanse, is interested, but AZ put a pricetag of 15 million Euro on Kromkamp. Meanwhile Arsene Wenger seems to be happy with his team. He told the official website of Arsenal that he does not want to buy many players, but he certainly does not want to sell them as well... 15mil euro's wonder how much he went for in the end
