Krasic is also a superstar player especially seeing as Juve, United etc. wanted him.
And krasic aint no striker
You probably missed Beckham's penalty against Turkey.
Is that a superstar striker? you tell me!
2009–2010 Flamengo 22 games 15 goals
Apparently that fat cow does more goals then your superstar Gyan. Infact Adriano is to good to even be compared to Gyan
I'm not denying his goal scoring abilities but he clearly has weight issues and wouldn't last the full 90 in Turkey. A lot of you guys would also start to get annoyed with his lack of pace and movement on the pitch unless the ball is placed precisely at his feet.
Just get Gomis for gods sake. That's the type of striker we need.
And you talking about placing the ball at his feets... Zlatan is same type of player. They need the ball perfect placed at there feet. But i guess you think Zlatan sucks too...
Think of it. Do you think a team like Rennes could possibly buy a "big, amazing talent striker" like Gyan is supposed to be, from a team like Udinese ?
I didn't say Brazilian league is "shit". I said the Brazilian league is the Brazilian league and the Turkish league is the Turkish league. Brazilian league is far less of a strain on your fitness, stamina and physique. I don't even know how you got that I said Brazilian league is "shit".
I may be 17 and still a kid but at least I don't misinterpret what people say.
Adriano has a record of scoring in Italy but not a big one. Maybe at Parma but not at Inter.
Also Zlatan is different to Adriano. So different I can't believe you can compare the two.
I talk about placing the ball at his feet cause all of last season you guys were complaining that Guiza wasn't running and that we need to play fast football.
Keirrison was ripping the Brazilian league in the 2008-2009 season, he went to Barcelona, they sent him on-loan to Fiorentina, he failed there, went back to Brazil on-loan. Ronaldo at the age of 31 scored 9 goals in 20 matches for Milan, at age 33 scored 13 goals in 21 matches for Corinthians (he got older, he also dealed with injuries, he scored more!).
Andre Santos is not fat, maybe he gained a few in the Summer but he will drop them down in the next two weeks by max, but Adriano has is currently fat, and heres a pic that shows you who Adriano is (that pic is before he got bulky) http://globoesporte.globo.com/platb/files/173/2010/03/adriano1.jpg

And Zlatan had a hugh scoring record in Inter but apparently not good enough in Barcelona. Its all about the team too but Gyan iant a top score superstar and saying he is just missrepresentiv.
You guys havent watched the world cup right? Gyan missed more chances then Guiza does.
Saying Adriano is crap is like pissing into the wind. It will just splash back at your face.
What the hell is expected of a striker these days? A 1:1 goal ratio?
Well world class superstar strikers like messi, they expect scoring in everygame.
I'd like Makukula here. He scores goals and thats what we so dearly need from our strikers.
Remember that goal? I don't think anyone in our team has the balls to pull off a shot like that.
Guys if Dia plays like this in fener noone will be able to compete with his spot in the first 11 :O
watch 00:30 in the video he is amazing
@andre - Diego Godin to Atlético Madrid? are you sure?
