Udinese has a fantastic scouting network no? Suns you really are a special one I'll give you that.
Stop with the personal stuff. I'm not interested in that.

And whats so weird with preferring a top prospect like Neymar? Do you think clubs like Udinese had the slightest chance to sign players like Pato or Higuain when they were in South America?

If we wanna be a top club in Europe then we should act like one. We should be showing interest in players that teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea want and not what teams like Udinese and Genoa want. After all, we can't bring as many non-EU players as we want every year so we should use those wisely. Thats just how I see it.

:tup:
i agree with you that we should start acting like a big club again, but at the same time signing this kid could turn out to be a steal, he could turn big
you clould say it's low risk high reward signing , if we are able to sign him for 6millions as reported.

You have never watched Rodriguez so your opinion is void. How many other top clubs seemed interested in Pato,Higuain at the times they were bought. Theres your answer. Just because this kid is not followed by everyone in Europe does not make him a bad player. From my assumption only Manchester City have shown a real interest in Neymar.

Absolutely. But lets just say that we bring a player like James R, he's talented enough but maybe not what you call a top prospect. It could go two ways, either he gets benched cause he isn't good enough for a team who aspires to be one of the best out there or we give him a chance to play like teams such as Udinese and Genoa would and he'll start to pay off in a few years. The difference between him and a top prospect like Pato(or Neymar) is that those guys would come in to our team and make us a lot better cause they are already that good.

I'm not saying he's a bad player. All I'm saying is that I WISH that we could go for a more special and hugely talented player like Neymar.

And Neymar has according to the rumours(which is all we can go by right now) a bunch of elite clubs after him, which is understandable since he just turned 18 and these are his stats so far:

27 goals in 65 games.

Impressive but look at Hunterlaars stats in the Dutch league then look at his stats for Milan. I advise you to watch Rodriguez and read some of the commets by people who have seen him play. Rodriguez is arguably considered one of the top talents in South America.

Difference is Neymar is playing for Santos while Rpdriguez is playing for Banfield, Santos is alot more recognised around Europe more than Banfield is.

    Andrea Carnival (one of the kick ass scouts from Udine) was asked about couple of things and their scouting system but that doesn't even matter. They asked him about Rodriguez and he said "It 's an extraordinary talent, a natural lefty." "Little" leader, he compared him to Giuseppe Signori and he said that Juve is going to buy a good player.

    I thought Yago was primarily right sided.

    It would be something if this guy comes and gets the start over Gio.

    Fausto still has at least one year of loaning and 2 years of co-ownership to go before he can play for us :stuckup:

    He's good and IMO not any worse talent than Giovinco.

    Meh, we need to teach Giovinco about the right wing.
    It's not about the position. Coaches obviously avoid him for some reason.

    Really? Gio's talent is rare, he's just been stagnated.
    It's not really rare nor he's young anymore. He still needs to develop as he lacks playing time. But Rossi is very good and I think he's better with the ball and he's 3 years younger.

    But most likely we'll end up giving him on co-ownership for some player.

    Thats impossible, none of Europes top clubs are after him so he must be bad.

    Sounds promising. Rather a young talent than some washed up oldie for cheap.


    Now let's hope we'll actually get to see him in our jersey, play for our first team..
