The Transfer Market

As the new season kicks in, the transfer market has been abuzz with activity. Let me preview some of the more significant ones (and reflect back on this post one year later). This is a great outlet as right here, i can air uninterrupted views. Anyway here goes:

Eduardo Da Silva: It's funny, football, really. How coincidental that not too long ago there was a documentary on Eduardo and how a brazilian was making waves in the croatian national team. At that time it sounded interesting and unimportant. When the Croats beat England 2-0 not long later, I thought to myself, hmm that Da Silva guy is impressive, he got his name on the scoresheet, that documentary is quite accurate. Months down the road, this is the man tipped to fill Henry's boots (or so they say but I feel he's more of a hardworking skillful player than an elegant flair striker like TH). I reckon he'll take time to settle, but will give us some unforgettable memories in his first season (much like Reyes but i doubt he'll whine till he leaves).

Fernando Torres: Great signing! But yet again, a victim of the wonderkid syndrome. This guy may have all it took to be a wonderkid, captaining Athletico at such a tender age, functioning as their main striker, playing like a right-footed raul, truth is he's been doing that for too long now. As much as i would like to say he is a top class striker, i don't think his 12-18 goals per season (as far as i can remember) warrants him as a super striker, i mean even adebayor can hit that many a season. Maybe will do well.

Anderson: Apart from that extravagant backheel flip-flop skill, and being one of the best left wingers in FM, I don't know much about the dude. Probably one to watch, but i think he won't do good for at least a while, would probably be better off in spain really.

Nani: Big hype at the start of last season, but honestly, once again, a wonderkid who hasn't really proven himself. From what i've seen in Champ League matches, he ain't that great. But, whoever watched a certain Cristiano Ronaldo before his Man U debut?

Malouda: Great player, but seriously why sign another left winger when u already have Robben? His performance this season depends alot on his opportunities, if robben continues his sulks and his injuries, then this guy may just get the chance to prove it on the English stage. I think he'll hit it.

Bent: A complete waste of money! Although i think if he can match Berbatov (which Keane and Defoe have been struggling to do), then Spurs have got a great partnership on their hands to take them further. But he's still a waste of money.

Benayoun: Good player, not good enough for Liverpool. The next Zenden.



Alright i'm tired. Once again this post is dedicated to you! Written just for you even though you probably don't understand anything! haha. Perhaps it's time to start another blog so i can not talk about football there?
