Frankly, having seen Morientes this year, he is one of few strikers I think could actually improve our frontline over Trez. Fantastic all round player.

yes a couple of really good ones:cool:

against roma,he recieved the ball at the edge of the box and flicked it up to chest height first time,then volleyed it straight into goal without waiting for it to bounce.one of the most classy goals i've seen this season.
The degree of difficulty on that goal was near 100, as Gilardino had defenders to his left and right, plus Pelizzoli was off his line so he didn't have that much of the goal to shoot at. Despite all this Gila showed the class and calmness to flick the ball up and volley home without hesitation. 'Twas a supreme individual goal.

Puyol would be awesome, not so sure about Morientes tho. Doesnt seem to be the kind of striker who'd flourish in Italy.
And i wudnt let go of thuram, to start with.

He's neither. Look, he's not a superman player, he just happens to be in the right place at the right time. He's really fast, has an excellent eye for goal, gives it his all and has that ability to lead his teammates when it really matters. He's excellent at what he does but it doesn't make him a Zidane. The kind of opposition we usually face, and the way we play I don't think he would be of much use at all. Big deal you can run really fast but when Chievo is defending with 9 men, what good is it?

For which team? Not this Monaco..
Most of the season he has iirc. In the Champions League he's often played as a second striker given that the opposition is tougher and his pace is more destructive to them.

I just don't want to see us get Giuly to see him fail here because his game is unsuited to our needs and have everyone say he failed, he was nothing special in the first place.
