Tango Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 A mate and I have been watching the World Cup to try and see who's gonna get a big-money move on the back of their performances (and then, probably, ultimately flop!) My tips are Kader of Togo, Barnetta of Switzerland and Tenorio of Ecuador. What does everyone else reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Sadly, Lucas Neill. Except he probably won't flop. Edited June 24, 2006 by Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxesFirstTouch Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Some of the dutch back four, Oijer looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn_barlow Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What about Asamoah Gyan of Ghana....although he might already play for someone good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathund Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 He plays for Modena in Serie B (Although they finished 5th, so will be in Serie A if Milan/Juve get relegated). So he plays at a decent level already. Very possible he'll move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Rover ® Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Boka from the Ivory Coast... looks a handy player, but surely someone will wind up paying over the odds for "The African Roberto Carlos." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyRover Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Salifou of Togo has impressed and could get a big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn_barlow Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 A couple of the keepers have looked good......particluarly the Iranian keeper and to a lesser extent Agassi of Togo......oh and that Lanky Aussie of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakefyre Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 And Joao Ricardo from Angola, who has no club now. Jaziri from Tunisia looked impressive too, and Trabelsi may be out from Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oklahoma Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Some mexican players like: Omar Bravo Pavel Pardo Jose Fonseca Carlos Salcido Gonzalo Pineda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Agreed about the Mexicans and I would add their keeper looked good as well- O.Sanchez. One guy who will be upping his already mega-value is Crespo. To think that he is surplus at Chelski is quite frightening in terms of their squad next season.

Perth_Rover Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Lahm looks to chelsea, a left back we could have gotten excited about. Frei maybe? But prolly to expensive as a new striker Edited June 25, 2006 by Perth_Rover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo-Luxa Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Unless someone comes in with a huge offer, Frei will be heading for Dortmund. I think they've already agreed a fee with Rennes. As for the Mexicans, I can't see any of them being good enough to make the jump to Spain, Germany or even England. As for the French, Dutch, Belgian or even the Portuguese (no offense Oklahoma) leagues, I think they'd perform quite well. My pick for a huge move is Barnetta, as mentioned above.

Lathund Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I quite like Johan Elmander from Sweden He's apparently on his way to Rangers. Or at least he was, not sure what's happened to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasure Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 from the gossip section from the sunday papers, about 6 or 7 ghana players have been linked the premiership clubs. i expect pompey to come in for most of the ghana squad, with dodgy dealings.... for a change! the following could secure prem moves :- constinha maniche petit macherano riquelme tevez torres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oklahoma Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 the following could secure prem moves :- constinha Costinha already signed for Atletico Madrid about a month ago. I still believe Maniche could come to Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasure Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Costinha already signed for Atletico Madrid about a month ago. I still believe Maniche could come to Blackburn. i'm sure he's been trying to get his contract cancelled with D. Moscow. remember reading somewhere,- he's threatening legal action, as they wont let him leave. maniche is a fine player, but cant see him coming to blackburn, not if a team from POR, ITA or SPA come calling.

Oklahoma Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Costinha is already free and signed for Atletico. Maniche won't come back to Portugal, in Italy, 4 top teams could be relegated and the only linked with him so far, Inter, prefers Mascherano. As for the spanish league, haven't heard of any links relating him to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue/white Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I'd like to echo some of the Mexicans ... in particular : Pavel Pardo & Sanchez the keeper. others like the backs, Rodriguez & Salcido are good'uns, too. For years I've wondered why Mexicans stay home and eschew going abroad- they have pace and talent, I think this past fortnight will open up their market. What's everyone think of Mascherano, now ? He's only at 70% as was off 8 months with a bad foot injury. He's struggling for form at present, but this kid would step in front of a lorry, talented & a heart big as a whale.

Drakefyre Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 What I think the deal is with the Mexicans is this: Mexicans play well together as Mexicans in a Mexican system. If you watch the Mexican league, the games are often unbearable. There's solid defense, combative midfielders, and woeful forwards and goalkeepers. The players fit into this system well, but asked to go outside of it they can't really make the adjustment. This is part of why Mexico does so well internationally. But taking individual players to European teams and leagues, they don't have the individual skill level necessary to make it. Some do - Marquez and Hugo Sanchez to name a few.
