Why don't we go after more Brazilians?

[New York Red]

Very good players. Naldo, Alex and of course, Alves.

 

God I'd love to sign them.

[JonShar]

Alves was distinctly average tonight.

[fyds]

Tonight isn't the issue though Jon - (got your pics by the way - been busy!) neither however is Naldo or Alex as we are very well covered in that department...also, at times, Naldo looked distinctly shall we say 'ill at ease' when faced with pace or a determined header of the ball when defending.

[jariiiiiiiiiise]

Alves was distinctly average tonight.

 

you rated him that high did you

Wasn't it he that was beaten to the ball by Terry for the goal? And given we tend to play Chelsea at least six times a season, that aint good?

[McBain]

I'm guessing this was your first time watching Naldo?

[Dee]

unproven in the premiership? not suited to our pace??

[RafaShanks]

Why don't we go after more Senegalese

[wacko]

We don't go after more Brazilians because it's hard to get work permits in Britain (compared to Germany, Holland, Belgium, France etc. etc.). Unless they have an EU passport, the regulations stipulate they have to have played in 70% (I think) of their national side's games in the last two years.

 

When you're talking about Brazil, those are some very expensive players.

[smicer07]

Work permit issues, surely?

[Stevie H]

really not convinced that alves would get on with english league football.

 

and alex is owned by chelsea.

[KD07]

Dunno why we're not after Kaka. I think he's pretty good.

[Maldini]

they smell

[McBain]

they smell

 

I always figured getting a brazilian reduced the chance of odours

[crisps]

Luisao would probably be a very good CB for us too

[Cliff M]

they're nuts

[Cobs]

i don't know why we don't buy more Uruguayans, they're kind of like Brazilians but cheaper, most probably

 

 

that way we'd always be top of the League and have enough cash to buy everyone some ice cream

 

[£440,000]

We've signed two in a year. First two we've ever signed. Some people are never happy. Don't care where players come from if they're good enough and play well.

[Knox_Harrington]

Sack everyone, install Cobs.

[£440,000]

Sack everyone, install Cobs.

 

And then sack Cobs!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

no-one's mentioned a Wednesday night at Bolton in January

 

 

won't SOMEONE think of the children?

[Knox_Harrington]

And then sack Cobs!

Only once we've got the league and some ice cream out of him. Ice cream for preference.

 

Now of your Walls s**** either. Haargen-Daas or Ben and Jerry's.

 

Bagsy on Phish Food.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

only sack him after getting accountants in

[stressederic]

Why don't we go after more Senegalese

 

f*** off

Not at your prices.

I used to watch a lot of South American football, It always struck me that the players were all more concerned with getting their own highlights packages together than winning the game as a team. It seemed nobody would ever get the ball and pass it, they would have to dribble through and opposition player before releasing the ball.
