havanatopia Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Might our manager be considering running the rule over these striker potentials at the Euros. Some are hardy professionals entering, perhaps, their twilight playing careers, others are just starting out or perhaps not quite good enough for the Prem. Either way, and since he mentioned it not me, we can perhaps consider that one or more of the players taking to the field at the competition, might be in a City shirt sometime soon. STRIKERS PAWEL BROZEK - AGED 29 - PLAYS FOR POLAND AND CELTIC GEORGIOS SAMARA - AGED 27 - PLAYS FOR GREECE AND CELTIC DAVID LAFATA - AGED 30 - PLAYS FOR CZECH REPUBLIC AND FC JABLONEC TOBIAS MIKKELSON - AGED 25 - PLAYS FOR DENMARK AND Nordsjælland - also plays as a winger HELDER POSTIGA - AGED 29 - PLAYS FOR PORTUGAL AND REAL ZARAGOZA - once of spurs.. blows hot and cold, not been with RZ long but he would be would be off the radar and can still win a match and may have something to prove in England where he failed to impress in his young days. JOHAN ELMANDER - AGED 30 - PLAYS FOR SWEDEN AND GALATASARY I don't think any of the above are beyond the realms of possibility for one reason or other.

Johan Elmander is on about 60k a week, Helder Postiga would never join us either. Samaras would cost a fairly large fee and is probably on around 30k a week.

JOHAN ELMANDER - AGED 30 - PLAYS FOR SWEDEN AND GALATASARY I don't think any of the above are beyond the realms of possibility for one reason or other. Hey Havana. I'm going to resurrect my Scouting the Euro's Thread from last week, as I mentioned a number of players on there who we could potentially be looking at. Of those you have listed Pawel Brozek could be a shout. He's still contracted to Trabzonspor but wants away, so he's not a free agent at the moment as some may have intimated further up on the thread. Samaras, Postiga & Elmander would all be outside our reach financially in my opinion, but of course it's always worth a question to their agents! David Lafata is one which could well be within our reach, but he'll be 31 in September. He's been top scorer the last 2 seasons in the Czech league, but I worry that he hasn't really done anything prior to this in his career. A very late developer perhaps? Don't know, but he's certainly THE form striker for the Czech Republic at the moment. Tobia Mikkelsen is someone I'd hope we're looking at. The only other players I feel we have a realistic chance of getting are : Croatia - Jurica Boljat Czech Republic - Daniel Kolar Denmark Stephan Andersen, Tobias Mikkelsen, Nicklas Pedersen Poland - Marcin Kaminski Sweden - Samuel Holmen Anyway, as I said, time to revive my Euro 2012 Scouting Thread!!

Appreciate your remarks there Harry. My list was not put together entirely at random and i think your remarks reflect that. Be interested to see your list. I thought Samaras looked a little weak last night. Mikkelsen and Brozek would be by favoured two but some of the older guys perhaps more realistic. I shall be watching the rest of the players and hope they put in some decent performances, if they play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 On last nights showing, Bas is the better player. Samaras was inept and looked out of his depth. Could not disagree with that on last night's showing; he looked bizarrely disinterested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ferret Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Harsh on Samaras. He is undoubtably a talented footballer with good ball control, but the Greek manager played him so deep yesterday he couldnt effect the game properly. Spent most of the time in his own half, no doubt at the instruction of the ultra defensive manager If Samaras was to play in the Championship up front he would bag plenty of goals where his physical game would work best Edited June 9, 2012 by Red Ferret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was beginning to think my inclusion of him on my list was an error. Verdict still out mind.. need to see if he plays where he is at his best in the next match. I hope Mikkelson and Postiga get a look in later today. I doubt the latter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcbs20 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Has Keith Andrews found a club yet, he certainly knew where the back of the net was at MK Dons ( I hate saying that name) and Ipswich on loan.
