i am not saying gonzo wont come good.i like him and while kewell is injured,i want to see gonzo playing as LW (i think garcia should play as second striker).but i can already tell you that he aint gonna be the type of winger i want us to have.he can only beat markers with pace,which he doesnt seem to have since he joined us.i have seen him a few times in spain and he seemed a lot quicker.he doesnt have close control,which makes him look like he is too relient on his pace. but i do think he will be a good player for us and i think it is not fair to judge him as it is too soon,and the whole team is playing like s***.

i dont think it is funny.there is no excuse for placing 2 CB on the bench instead of just one,and another attacking or a midfielder sub.

that wasnt my intention... just wanted to share that he looks very promising,he is a winger,and the fee isnt very high. and we all know that good wingers are rare these days.

can someone explain to me why there were TWO CB on the bench?????????

he showed willingness,but i cant remember one time that he actually managed to get past his marker...

a 20 year old chealian winger,playing for colo-colo. a trunsfer deal with viareal cancelled a few months ago.and chelsea are reportedly (sp) tracking him very closely. it is assumed that he will cost 6 mil and is touted as the best player in south america right now. he is fast,strong,has amayzing dribbling skils and a cracking free kick. take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXOWKCO_kE0...ted&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrassnO3zm4...ted&search=

i think that in a few years time you would also add bojan krkic to this list. and maybe even dos-santos.

i have to say i was very very impressed with richards on wednesday.ws it just me,or is he faster then robben?? it was the first time i saw him play after hearing about him for quit sometime.i think he will be great for us if he is consistent,but i too think he will cost at least 10m and i cant see us paying that. as for bale,i never saw him so i dont know how good he really is,but just like richards,with chelsea arsenal and the scums in the race,i cant see us getting near them.

im sorry,but i dont see gonzalez skinning eboue,with trickery nor pace. i can understand why rafa picked him up on bosman,but he isnt good enough for my opinion.i never rated him,since his days in PSV. for 4th choice CM,why not use some one from our youth team ( peltier?).zenden doesnt have pace,strength nor he a very inteligent player. all he does is chasing players in the center,and for that we can use some youngster who is dying to impress the manager and the fans.

ok,its also a question of priorities.but,when barca started investing heavily in their youth setup,they werent so succesful.i think that we cant afford not to invest in these young talents. as for agger and momo,i didnt mention them asthey were allready first team players,and werent exactly bought for the future. and i am not saying that hobbs and anderson or hammil wont make it.but it doesnt look like they are THAT special.youy can see that we are letting a few youngsters play this season in the league cup and anderson wasnt one of them,and he is the one that is most talked about here... as for us being interested in bale,i seriousley (sp) doubt we will get him,now that he will be a regular transfer(we will need to buy him) and not get him while he is under 17 like arsenal "stole" cesc and merida from barca.

they dont neccesery (sp) succeed,but they got pique and they are constantly eing linked with kid prodigys in the media. and barca have much more then just messi and dos santos.they have iago,krkic,assulin and a few others that will be top players in 5-6 years time. which young lads are supposed to be top top players coming through the academy?i have heard the names pepper and morgan,but not even sure if they are real... and the kids doesnt have to be from south america...ythey can be from germany,spain,italy,serbia...and dont tell me barca are giving their youngsters more chances then us.surley a young player dont believe he will beat ronaldinho or etoo or messi to the first team,but they still go to barca. barca scout spotted him and moved his family to spain...

i know its been talked here allready but i want to share opinion. we all know that since rafa took charge,he changed the scouting system,and is putting more emphasis (sp) on bringing young talents to the club,but... out of all the youngsters who were brought,not one of them is supposed to be a "world beater".hobbs,paletta,anderson,antwi.they are all good players maybe,but none of them is expected to become a leading player in europe as far as i can tell. now,what i dont understand is why dont we try to bring the hottest young prospects around,like the scums,arsenal,barca and real madrid are trying. i know that you will say that there is no insurance (sp) that someone who was amayzing when he was 13 will be amayzing when he is 25.but still,there is more chance the a 13 year old wonderkid will be a top player then someone who didnt show that much promise in his younger years. from what i understand,anderson is the brightest prospect in our youth team,but does anyone really believe he will become a very good 1 team player? i look at barca,they have much.much,much more money to spend on transfers then we do,but still,they are investing in bringing all those 10.13,15 year olds wonderkids.if their youth team has 5 wonderkids,and just one of them turns out to be a "world class" player,and the others turns out to be mediocre,they are still earning (sp). it seems to me that we are only looking for the good 16-17 year olds,and not the 11-16 wonderkids and i dont understand why... i just saw barca are on the verge of signing a 11 year old wonderkid from turky.i saw some clips of him,was very very impressed.true,clips are not so relient,but it is a risk we must take!lets say that only one out of 10 wonderkids turns out to be really really good,its still worth it. sorry for the long massage :-)

i meant (sp) nothing in terms of flowing game... and yes,we had a very good run last season,but it was just one run in two and a half seasons. i dont blame rafa for this entirley (sp) as he doesnt have the funds to buy the players he really wants/needs,but the team is way inconsistant (sp). and i think that this is manily the managers fault due to his constant rotating.

im not saying sack rafa,but i am very disapointed. 2.5 years in charge and almost nothing. true,we won the chamions league and fa cup,but,we hardly play attractive football.most of the time we look like a mid-table team that has no ideas when it comes to breaking an opponent. we are way too defansive in my opinion,apart from a few games at home against smaller teams. i am very,very angry with zenden playing CM even when momo is out...what the f***????? also,some of our players are just not good enough.im sorry,but pennant and even bellamy are not producing. i know this is also due to the fact rafa wasnt given funds,but still... today,for the first time in 10 years,i just didnt want to watch the second half. i am sorry,but i am not optimistic about us,not at all. i even seriousely doubt we will finish top 4.

i dont think it doesnt make me a supporter.i just hate beckham,and i dont want someone who was/is a scum to wear our shirt. on top fo that,i dont rate him,never rated him.he has an excellent free kick and he is a hard worker,but thats all he has.no vision,no pace.

he should never,never wear our shirt!!!that scum. the day he will be in our club is the day i will stop cheering for the mighty reds.

although its just a rumor,i would love to see this guy playing for us. been watching him since he was linked with us in the summer,the guy is class. very good 1-1,great vision,strong,very cool infront of goal. but if he is owned by zehavi and half of the listed teams are interested (which i believe they are) then i doubt we have a chance.

this wasnt critisism.saying that someone is not as fast as i thought doesnt mean i critisise (sp) him for it...

is it just me or speedy doesnt look that speedy? when i watched him last season in spain he seemed much,much faster then he seems now. does anyone else feels the same way? i still love him though and thinks he can be a very good player for us.

this isnt exactly (sp) more strikers as fowler doesnt play,and huntelar will have,in my opinion,a big improvement on our scoring,much more then crouch.i dont think we should look at it as a striker for now,but more as a striker for decade (sp).he is probably the best young scorer in europe and if the price is right,we should be in for it.

arsenal have joined newcastle and the scum in their chase for jan klaas huntelar.it seems he will be available for 10 mil and will leave ajax in january. i have to say i think he is worth much more then that,maybe we can try and get him,he is a smart player,with great goalscoring sense.

it wasnt supposed to be a direct swap.it was nasri + cash. i have seen him play a few times (not youtube),very very intellegent,good passer.ithink that if we can get him for up to 6 mil,it will be very good. very creative,we need that sort of player who can set goalscoring oppprtiunities (sp) for our strikers with a clever pass

when we were in talks with marsei (sp) over cisse`s loan,it was mentioned that we will get samir nasri.it was suggested (sp) that rafa will insist on that.what happend?

yes. saw him against boca on sunday,quality player,great technique (sp),vision,and very,very cool in front of goal.scored two and was best man on the pitch along with midfielder banouchy (or something like that) 23 years old,very very good passer and excellent vision,made all 3 doals for river. but i think it was just a rumor,and i believe by the time he will move,he will cost more then we will be able to pay. by the way,that greek defender is an excellent player,fast,good defansivly (sp) and good going forward,was linked to madrid after the euro.

i like finnan,i think he is one of the best RB in the EPL,and i agree with magic8ball that we dont look balanced on the right because gerrard is not as effective if he doesnt drift to the center.and as much as i like finnan,i dont think he is up to it if we continue playing like that.he doesnt have the pace to cover all the right flank.if we continue playing like that we will need a faster RB (alves).
