Pique?


I am sure there was an italian striker too who went onto big things.

Phil Neville was a great player for Everton for a long old time.

Yes, Platt. Wasn't Beardsley there too? Went to Vancouver Whitecaps I think.

Just watched Tonev playing for Lech Poznan. Difficult to judge in one game but definitely lacks composure in front of goal had two good chances to win the game which flew high over the bar. But i am sure PL has had his eye on him over several games and i trust his judgement and experience ........

Benteke looked a bit like that too....

Unless you're Ronaldo, don't ever buy a player from Man Ure, they leave 'cos they are sh*t. Who has bought a player from them to become a real find??

Paul Pogba, Shawcross, Simpson (Newcastle right back)

If his main problem is just composure, then that isn't that big a problem as that can be easily improved. Look at Benteke, looked pretty wasteful early on but gradually became more clinical as the season went on. What was Tonev's reaction at the end by the way? Did it look like he was saying his goodbyes?

I think he is a super player, but not one we would ever see in a Villa shirt!

he'll be headed to France or Germany. He's always good when he playes for Man U just doesn't play enough. He needs to have a good run of games. Look at someone like Kevin Price Boateng and how has developed at Milan. I think Anderson is quite similar.

I think he's garbage personally. Never looks fit either and struggles to last 90 minutes in games.

I'd hardly call Danny Simpson a real find.
