Euro 2008 - Scouting

[Dom1878]

You have all been employed as Grand Old Teams scouts...

...So write here the players that are impressing you during the competition, and the players which would suit and would go to Everton.

At the moment, in the switzerland match i think Tranquillo Barnetta is a good player...

...So come on - join in!

 

[Dom1878]

Joao Moutinho anyone? I dont think he would come to us though, great player though...

 

[coyney]

Did no one see the BBC today discussing possible targets apparently top managers Ferguson and Wenger(No mention of Moyes) will not buy anyone from a major championship because the price gets inflated all their deals are already done?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The Turkish holding midfielder looked decent. Can't remember his name, Brazilian by birth though.

Mehmet Aurelio, Yeah I liked the look of him too could be the answer to carsley's role.

Not sure on his age though he looked quite old.

 

[Neiler]

Was impressed with the Austiran defensive midfeiler Rene Aufhauser, looks a good reliable strong player.

I thnk we may have been linked with him in the past!

 

[atrottel]

I think five years ago he might have been suitable for our standard then...

I thought he was good mate especially when your talkig of the Bradleys of this work, didnt look any worse. couldnt beleive Pogatez stayed on the pitch, but Austria were an awfull lot better then i thought they would be liked that young winger who came on in the second half too!

I've always liked watching Turkey's Kazim-Kazim (Colin Kazim-Richards) when he played on Sheff Utd. He was terrific dribbling on the wing and was able to keep position of the ball even while being double and triple teamed. If he can learn how to throw a better cross in he'd be a hell of a player.

I haven't really seen anyone in our price range (or who would come and play for us) that has impressed me yet. Its a shame Podolski wants to stay on the bench at Bayern. I'd love to see him on the right side for us.

I thought I'd see a couple Croats that would fit in on us but that whole team was s#$ vs. Austria.

He's into his 30s now, though. A few years back he wasn't bad and would have been a midfield "body". I thought Harnik had some good moments, but Croatia were pretty poor, though.

Frings is the dog's bollocks he was absolutely everywhere for Germany last night plays the carsley role aswell.

He would be a good buy.

 

[bozzen]

I would look at the swedish right side defender Fredrik Stoor, he might be up to some good. Young with a lot of potential, play in Rosenborg now. A modern defender´, and can´t be too expensive. Then there is of course my hero Zlatan, but that is to hope for too much.

I've always rated Torsten Frings in that role. Not sure how old he is, seems to have been around for a while. Schweinsteiger is another I'd love to see in a blue shirt and he's only 23 or 24 but he'd probably be well out of our price range even if he was interested in swapping CL and guaranteed winners medals for Uefa cup and possible challenge for honours..

Watch out for Engelaar tonight for Holland (No 8). Plays for surprise package 'Twente' and looks tidy on the ball, a good passer and strong aswell. Could be that box to box man we're looking for.

I thought he played great tonight - a welcome addition...

...Also Affelay played well...i only know him as a 'wonderkid' off football manager

I was so dissappointed that Huntelaar didnt play though!!

 

[CanadaToffee]

Good call on Engelaar - he was outstanding. 28 years old, could be available at a decent price.
