The Crow - Voronin

[jonesie]

Just found this from when Celtic were trying to sign him. I think its from some Scottish site:

'Celtic are trying to sign a Ukrainian striker Andriy Voronin, nicknamed The Crow. A crow, of course, stands in the middle of a field doing nothing. Isn't that Thomas Gravesen's job?'

Looking forward to the summer, it's gonna be reeeeedddddddddddd hot

Amen, brother.

By the way why is Veronin called "the crow" ?
Is it someng to do with his look ?

Apparently it's because Vorona is the Russian word for crow, and is also similar to his surname.

The questions is "Who is out of the door" this summer?

Pace, forward or link-man? Answer one and you get close as to who might be coming in.

It's a bigger chance that Crouch stays than Bellamy IMO. Crouch offers something that would be difficult to replace. Bellamy on the other hand offer us something that is more easy to replace.

I think that both of them will be sold in the summer.

Voronin

from official site:

Rafael Benitez has confirmed that Liverpool are close to completing a pre-contract agreement to sign Ukrainian striker Andriy Voronin in the summer.
The 27-year old currently plies his trade in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen but is set to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

"We are close to a deal. The scouting department has been working on this possibility," said Benitez today.

"He is an experienced striker who played in the World Cup and has scored goals for Ukraine, playing with Andriy Shevchenko, as well Bayer Leverkusen. He finishes his contract in the summer."

Voronin has previously played for Cologne, Mainz and Borussia Moenchengladbach and also represented his country on 40 occasions, scoring five goals in the process.

a whole 5 goals!!

To be fair he´s played a lot on the left wing for the national team and a fair share of these 40 apps have probably been subs.

The excuses start!

The excuses start!

What do you mean? Didn´t you once use the same argument about Cisse? That he had been played so much on the right and that was why he didn´t score as much as he could have...

This could be shrewd signing and I´m not going to jump on Rafa´s back before the guy plays for us.

Cant believe what im reading... i was at a the recent dortmund leverkusen game and he was so rubbish. no way can this be true... must be a smoke screen. He scored from 2 yards (just!) but then missed 2 open goals and dived aroound like a gay... i was booing him.... pure **** he is!

You're happy with this announcement of him signing then!

OK, coming from someone who has been watching him, I must confess I´m slightly more worried now, thank you
