A Chipmunk for free

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yes, that little enigma that is Saviola is leaving Barca at the end of the season and his services can be obtained for free, **** all, nowt, zilch.

Now. I've seen across a number of sites, the majority of fans creaming their kecks and a rabid "gorra get im".

But, for the past 4 seasons, his scoring record has been ****e. He hasn't mustered more than 9 goals in each of those seasons.

So. What is the fixation with him and in reality, is he any better than what Bellamy offers?

[Red_Polo]

I agree with you. He's a better player than Bellamy, but for the Prem not significantly so IMO. Not the type of player we need tbh.

He's better than Voronin.

Lively, creative, erratic little footballer, I would take him.

Yes but unfortunately (or my a miracle of God 'fortunately') we've already got Voronin. So, we don't really want two non goal scoring forwards do we.....

[Red_Polo]

You two seen much of Voronin then? I've barely seen him play but I can't believe he's as bad as people are making out.

Saviola has his qualities, but I don't think he'd shine quite so brightly in the Prem, and I don't think he has the right combination of qualities to give us what we're missing in our front line.

I think Voronin is far more suited to the prem than Saviola is and he is a better scorer even if he has less technique.

Players on a Free is never that. Inevitably the money that would have been paid on a Transfer Fee, end up being spent on Extra Player Wages and Agent Fees

That's the non-goal scoring Voronin that got into double figures this season?

but only in the German league they scream....

Yes, yes - but surely you can let it slide, given the wonderful title of this thread?

[Reece]

I've always liked Saviola. Think he'd be great up front for us, say with Eto'o for example.

[Rich]

Isn't his nickname the Rabbit?

Sí - El Conejo

[El Diego]

He has a good scoring record when he plays for Barca when Eto'o was out he was banging in the goals for them.
