Dya fancy a tricky little brazilian?

[Assassin]

I'd love to see a player like him at our club, but because he's not an out and out goalscorer it would probably only work in a 5-2-3 system that we've played this season a few times, ie

Reina

Carragher Agger Hyypia

Finnan? Riise?

Alonso Gerrard

Bellamy Robinho
Kuyt/Crouch
(Villa??)

Something like that anyway. Would be great to watch put it that way.

PS The formation didn't work out, went all skew. You know what I mean though.

LOL a thread isnt a thread without at least 1 line up in it

No, not that sort of brazilian, you filthy feckers...

Robinho, available for £17m apparently...

If we end up minted, i'd take him.

Is he any better than Garcia?He went to Madrid with "the next big thing" tag and wasn`t heard of since.

Wherever Rafa decides

Could make the difference between being held by smaller clubs who visit anfield and wear blue shirts (Everton, Pompey, Blackburn)...and actually breaking down their rearguard action, and securing 3 points.

I haven't seen enough of him to be 100% sure but he does possess good skills and could, only could mind you, be the type of magician we are looking for.
Although I'm sure for that money there are a few of those out there.

I think we can safely remove Bellamy from the equation.

All I'm saying is he'd only fit in with that sort of system, he's not an out and out striker :whatever:

Why's that, have we got somebody better in that sort of position?? Do tell?

Was just an example anyway using the players we've got, as to how Robinho could fit in, don't pay too much attention to the other players.

We won't sign Robinho anyway so I don't even know why I bothered, he's not a Rafa player.

We have Garcia who is far more talented and scores important goals on a regular basis

No, but what team wants a psycho with a golf club in the dressing room?

[slimbimjim]

What happened to that Argentinian we were looking at before (not Messi)?

[Johnny]

That`s proven now is it?

[Colemere]

No, but there is no smoke without fire. The club have admitted there was trouble by saying that the matter will be dealt with internally.

[Parm]

right wing, left wing or a striker.

not saying i would want him for 17m, he has not lived up to the hype for when he was bought to real madrid IMO.

erm, we already have garcia for that role. I dont think Robhinho is all that, Real have struggled to fit him in (they have tried in all the above positions)
he's a little ****er as well and has struggled with the physical nature of the game in Spain. If he is struggling their he will never do anything here.

Glad your not a judge!!!

Jesus man, can you read, I said, don't pay much attention to the other players, it was just an example of how Robinho could fit in. I'm not interested in having a debate about each player I put in the formation, it was just an example, using the ones who had already played in that formation this season.

[lfcruleus]

I would sign him but he might spend most of his time on his arse against the "smaller clubs". either wing or as an option upfront. He is a better all round player than Garcia because of his pace, and i genuinely believe the one thing we lack which stops us being up with Chelsea and The ****e is enough pace in the side.
