I'd trust Moyes' opinion on football a million times more than I would Eriksson.

And I don't even rate Moyes that highly!

I sense this Denis will be good in the air and as such will help Cahill. That's got to be Moyes' reasoning behind the transfer.

He might not actually be a very good footballer though. Just a big unit and a force aerially.
 
Reminds me of Kevin Davies in some ways...who, I might add, I suggested getting in I think Moyes' 2nd year here. I was promptly booed off the pitch for it, but he's been a relaible CF for Bolton for yonks now. /dig

I have a mate that lives in America who knows a good deal about Argentine/Mexican/Brazilian/MLS football and he basically said that this lad was unplayable at times up front for Tigre and they were an awful team otherwise, he single handedly kept them going. He said Fiorentina, Napoli and Inter were all interested in him and that he is a very similar player to Diego Milito, on that basis I can't wait to have a proper look at him next saturday.
 
He maybe tall but by the looks of things he can run, good on the ball so im happy, at first i thought "oh crap he'll be like crouch, runs funny,falls over his own feet and will make us into a hoof ball team" But by the looks of it i'm totally wrong......Hopefully lol.

We should all judge him after we've seen him play after like 10 full games. If Saha can stay fit, both Denis and king louis upfront, im sure we'll get plenty of goals, but that all depends if Moyes ever plays the two upfront.

I'm looking forward to next week and seeing both signings, especially Drenthe with his pace and taking on people!

Now that's more like it. Everything I've read from people who actually know anything about him has been negative. That sounds a bit better.
 
I never knew that! Imagine if we'd signed ruud

as I remember, he was deemed "not good enough to make it in our league", Atteveld on the other hand got a red card for tuppin' an opponent.

No matter how much I have searched for this I can't find it online, maybe someone should ask HK *?

*lets hope the Grolsch hadn't been flowing

Some good goals in there.

His side seemed to play a similar style to us. Looks to have good instincts, a physical presence, well capale of heading a ball, not afraid to have a go, very direct player. I wonder did they play with one up front - looks like it from those clips.

He could also make a lot of space for Cahill, i think we,re in for a season of banging the ball into the box from wide areas - for a change like.

I'd expected a big lump of a forward, but I'm impressed that he seems to have good strikers instincts. He peels away into space, he attacks the ball in the box and he looks to be surprisingly quick. Things could be looking up.
 
Didnt Maradonna have a trial with Sheff Utd or someting.

Nah, they bought Sabella and the rumor was they were offered Maradona at the same time. But everyone involves denies it and given that at the time Maradona was already making a name for himself, I'm willing to believe them.

I think it's possible they made a bid for him but couldn't stump up enough cash or something like that, though.
