World Cup 2010 – players to look out for
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:19 amThe World Cup gives us an opportunity to watch some of the greatest current players. It made me start to think which players I would like to see. I know it does not start until 11 June but the excitement is starting to grow.
A few players who I’d like to see a little more of include:
Pato (Brazil). Forward. 20. Not sure if he will make the World Cup but has been an emerging talent for the past few years. Can he become a great? Pace, control and powerful shooting – potential to be great. Currently injured but expected back at Milan for the last few matches. Be surprised if Milan would sell but would love to buy.
Buffon (Italy). Keeper. 32. Vastly experienced and like Given a great shot stopper. Does he control his box better better than Given, IMO yes. Is he a realistic target for City? IMO Juve would sell, not sure if Buffon would come.
Hamsik (Slovakia). Attacking Midfielder. 22. National captain, creative with a good engine. IMO he would settle in very well to our team and Premier League football. Would Napoli sell, the fans love him there. I guess money talks and hopefully Hamsik can see signing for City would be the start of building a career at an up and coming team with the financial power to compete at the highest levels for years to come.
Chiellini (Italy). Left-sided Centre Half. 25. Is he better than Lescott and if so by how much? Juve have financial difficulties so a deal may be possible. Would Chiellini want the challenge of Premier League football? If Mancini wants him that will do for me.
I’d be interested in your thoughts on which players you would like to see? Would these players be realistic targets for City and what would they offer to improving the team?
As well as the players I’m interested to see if there will be any new tactical advancements made and how creative the football is e.g. free kicks, corners and counter attack. Will City be sending any representatives to the World Cup, I certainly hope our Manager is there!
