If your team could sign 3 players currently playing outside of England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany, who would the be? and why?

NJ10 · 22-02-2008, 08:54 PM

1. Klaas Jan Huntelaar- Goals.

2. Ricardo Quaresma- Looks better and better with each passing game, never been a huge fan but he could well be a big star in the Premiership.

3. David Beckham- Beckham feeding Torres & Huntelaar, alongside Gerrard, Quaresma & Monster Masch. Lovely.

Not a bad list at all.
I like Huntelaar and Quaresma, but would you want Beckham at this stage of his career over anyone else?

**Sven** · 23-02-2008, 12:32 AM

Ibrahim Afellay - because he will be quallity.

Nuri Şahin - same reason.

3rd one would be Jo form CSKA, to see how he could be.

Realistically...

1. Arshavin .... Good player, would be last link we need creativity wise
2. Appiah ... Exactly the player to replace Carsley
3. Vagner Love.. Looks a great player

1 - Di Maria. He impressed me more than any other player at the U20 WC.
2 - Huntelaar. Like NJ10 said, he scores alot. Seems like a good replacement for Trezeguet.
3 - Quaresma. Exciting player. He has more moves than Ronaldo. He just needs to play in a better league to get more recognition.

Can't believe no one mentioned the best center-midfielder in Europe playing outside the top 3 leagues -- Lucho Gonzalez!

@ azzurri, Di Maria is rubbish. He's a cheap version of Messi though he can't dive the way Messi does.

If you see him play for Benfica, he is most of the times on the ground asking for a foul while the ball is already at the other end of the field. He can't finish off chances, he tries to cut inside and shoot the stands when he has a teammate in a great position to score a goal, most of his crosses don't reach a teammate and he loses possession way too many times, trying his little shit dribbles.

**kyan** · 23-02-2008, 05:13 PM

I'd like Miguel Veloso, Bosingwa & a CF, probably Huntelaar cos I can't think of any upcoming Brazilian or Argentinian strikers who aren't at a top club who are good enough...

Young, and its his first few months in a new league. Give him time.

No love for the mighty Benzema?

NJ10 · 24-02-2008, 02:53 PM

Outside of France, Italy, Germany, Spain & England.

**unitedfan** · 24-02-2008, 06:19 PM

Well, for United, I'd go for Bosingwa first of all, since he has impressed me when I've seen him play, and looks a very good RB, a long term, natural replacement to Neville.

Then Klaas Jan Huntelaar, who fills the "need" for a striker, as a player able to play a target role, poach, and generally give us another option.

After that, there's not really a position in any kind of need, maybe a LB, first name that comes to mind is the Dutchman at Ajax, Emanuelson, who's impressed once or twice, not incredibly so, he's really just the only pacey LB outside those nations I can think of right now. Still, he's young, got pace, and isn't bad, so that's the 3rd man.

If I had France, then I'd take Benzema and Ben Arfa alongside Bosingwa. And if I was just talking about the best 3 outside the 5 mentioned nations, who I'd just be excited about joining, they'd be

Quaresma
Lucho
Modric

In that order. Acending order.

Thanks mate

Rangers' Allan McGregor is an excellent GK. If it wasn't for Gordon he would be Scotland no. 1.
