Don't trust 'SPORTSMAIL REPORTER'. Exciting to see some young talent being linked, but I won't get carried away until it's officially announced by Rovers.

As much as I agree with, this Formica guy looks pretty damn good. Whether he can translate that form into the Premier League is another matter.

Doesn't make a great deal of difference, but isn't Angel Colombian?

Yes he is but I was meaning South American footballers in general would take time to adjust to the Premiership. He was just a recent example I could think of that was widely panned in his first year but was wildly more effective subsequently.

If we could have given Carlos Villenueva a good year under a proper manager he might have turned out alright (probably not but hey).

He looks a bit special in that video but I won't get excited as he most likely won't be coming it just seems a bit out of the blue.

I must say though if true our scouting range seems to have improved recently and it's nice to see some imagination with targets finally.

Speedy RB and were almost there. :rolleyes:

Givet makes his fair share of mistakes at full-back, but to have Olsson there with Hoilett ahead of him would cause me physical pain. Watching Olsson mark the overlapping run by the invisible man as the Sunderland player crossed for Bent to score their second a few weeks ago was mind-boggling. The complete lack of defensive instinct was shocking, I'd much rather see him in the midfield.

They'd be that knackered chasing Olsson and Hoilett up and down the only overlapping they'd be doing is with the sub. :lol:

It was a a bit tongue in cheek anyway, just putting the speed merchants in one side for a change give me a bit of a buzz.

Deffinately think we should have

-----------Robbo

Salgado-Samba-Nelsen-Olsson

-------Jones-Jones---------

Diouf-----Formica---Diouf--

----------Cruz-------------

Purely so our team looks slightly symmetrical and would slightly amuse me... What other players with the same names can we bring in to be even more symmetrical and amuse me more... hmmm...

After that teams played once, do what you like!

I've been trying to slot Carlos Villenueva into our lineups.

Not the real Carlos Villenueva who struggled in the Premier League, but that amazing footballer off those youtube videos.

Are you mercermen Are you mercermen Are you mercermen in disguise, are you ............... :P

Tevez?

Tevez is pants!!!

Ha, only joking, I completely forgot about him, how that happened I'll never know???!!!

Tevez aside though, there aren't many, and I did say forward players... I think there are a few Argentinian defenders & defensive midfielders in world football who are quite strong & robust.

Did someone mention Juan Pablo Angel before, he was Columbian, but still... I reckon he counts, he tried to be very good, but he was a bit bobbins really!!!

haha..when you put it in numbers like that it looks a bit strange :)

That was my attack-formation. Just a slightly modified 4-4-2 :rover:

5-3-1-1 when defending, with Larson and Olsson as fullbacks.
