Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 He obviously has some ability but I don't think he's what we need now. We really need a left sided midfield player capable of attacking and defending and supplying crosses into the box. Assuming Weiss plays on the right we have a big gap on the left. I'd imagine Naismith will be first choice on the right and Weiss on the left. Naismith is like a mini McCulloch in that Walter very rarely drops him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think going forward we are covered with Beattie, Jelavic and Weiss coming. It's at the back we need cover, we need a left back a centre half and a centre midfielder. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm still not sure wtf happened with Goncalves given that about 8 weeks ago he was announcing on his own website that he was about to join us. He would've given good cover in central defence, central midfield, and at left back 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Can't see us going after another winger, especialy someone who will command his sort of wages. Never realy rated the guy anyway. Did you ever see him play at his peak? Or are you a typical British football fan that passes judgements on Italian footballers despite not having a clue what they're talking about? Over 200 games for Juventus and nearly 60 caps speaks volumes. If we can get him and he's anywhere near the level he was, he'd be a great signing even for a season or 2. I find it highly ironic that at a time where we hardly have the best of squads people are scoffing at him. He was still in the Italy squad recently and would walk the SPL. That said, I think it is just paper talk. Weiss on one side and Camaronesi on the other seems a bit too good to be true.

And you'd have to ask yourself why he'd even contemplate a move to Scotland. Assuming this is true, which it probably isn't 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) People were basing their opinions on Rothen from seeing him play 5 years ago. Camaronesi was last season a regular for Juventus and Italy and not long ago one of the best midfielders in Europe. Camaronesi also made the world cup squad, something the likes of Villareal's Rossi did not manage. Of course I reckon this is more utter bullshit to make us seem ambitious a la Eidur Gudjohnsen Edited August 27, 2010 by Totti 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some players who regardless of their calibre, it's pretty obvious that the SPL isn't the place for them 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Frank De Boer joined us, he'd been abysmal in Turkey and couldn't hack it but here he walked through every game without breaking sweat. The likes of Capucho failed because they were finished. Lets not forget, Camaronesi isn't afraid of the odd meaty challenge or kick, playing in the Italian league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
