I dont want a debate. The vid was to basically to show people who i am actually on about.

But if you want, ill pick you up on your points.

1. Hes no more lightweight than Lennon etc. Hes is actaully less lightweight as he can play RB and fights for balls and tracks back a fair bit.
2. Yes, he hits the floor a lot, but thats because hes so fast the defenders must fould him.
3. Yes he prefers to cut in but he can cross well and does so still quite frequently. However he does it to a high standard so its effective.
4. He does have pace in abundance he is considered one of the fastest players in europe.
That clip even showed part of it. The game against Bayern Munich where he turns Lahm and beat Hargreaves (a very fast player) while dribbling the ball and not losing control.
5. Yes he does.

More on the thinking of his suggestion:
Hes still young (just truned 24), better than the right wingers we have been linked too (Lennon, Pennant etc.), would be available on the cheap (roughly 5 mil) and wont have extortionate wages.

Tom_Toon and thats your idea of a debate? “I got it all wrong” lol Ummmm ok. You posted a link to show how good this guy is and then when I comment on some quite obvious observations. You retort with “Thats why you cant judge a player by youtube” lol So why post the you tube link? Meh???

Tom_Toon. A few points I noticed about your man Vladimir Bystrov.

1) Looks a tad lightweight.
2) Seems to hit the floor an aweful lot.
3) He doesnt CROSS the ball, he tends to cut inside and then PASS (Dont think he crossed one ball in the whole of that video).
4) Has pace but not in abundance. Alot of that video was speeded up anyways while they were editing it and putting it together, so its hard to gauge really how fast he is. Benny Hill wasnt as fast in real life lol
5) Looks a wee bit like Glen Roeder lol

Thats my own obervations based on the youtube video you posted a link to.

On another point. I think pace was the desired attribute of Bobby Robson. He LOVED it in his players. I think KK LOVES skill and panache in his players. (Again just my views)

I think our team is screaming out for a creative midfielder … Someone to unlock opposition teams, because I dont think we have that type of player at our club.

Mbia can also slot in to the RB position, could be a great understudy for Beye ! he sounds like he could do a job within the squad and he would have a really easy chant !

Mbia my lord………. Mbia.

All the other players are sounding like good acquisitions, however it all depends on MA, lets hope Keegan’s words were just a statement to the “boss”. It sounds like he might have made a point known to Ashley.

we have better chances getting players if we make 1 big signing ASAP…and if we really plan to bid for berbatov, we should do that…yesterday!!!

Even then he might just reject us and wait for Chelsea or Man Utd to come.
