(Daily Record) Back to top AND FINALLY Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes the FA Cup final does not go to the drama of spot-kicks as he says he has a "diabolical" record when it comes to penalties. Jose Mourinho has changed his tune on referee Graham Poll. The Chelsea boss, who has been particularly critical of the soon-to-retire referee, has now said: "It is a great quality to decide when to stop. Only intelligent people can do it. He has stopped at the top and I wish him a great future in his new life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11098 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 he used to be first pick in the fantasy football teams. Defender for a team who didn't really concede that many and took their penalties, him and LeBoeuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Re: Viduka. Despite his fatness/lazyness he's immensely talented and ManYoo have ben screaming out for a hold up player for Rooney to feed off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11098 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 can you see Ferguson tolerating his lazy attitude for long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Could be his agent bigging him up (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 can you see Ferguson tolerating his lazy attitude for long? Not many bigger stages/better managers to motivate fatty though. I'd have him here for a season or 2 under Fat Sam. Poor man's Kevin Davies tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10035 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Bombadil might know about the Swiss lad. I don't remember having him ever seen (although he apparently scored in an UEFA-Cup match against Leverkusen last season). The Swiss developed a couple of good youth players in recent years and I guess he wouldn't be too expensive. Maybe worth a try at least as a squad player.

Baggio 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 His nickname is the Swiss Kaka, 21 year old attacking midfielder who can also play on the right, good technique and very fast, supposedly wanted by Milan last year but didn't want to sit on the bench, valued around £2 million. *From N-O.

Bombadil 0 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 As it happens, I went to see Basel vs. Sion last night. Gelson had a quiet game, but Sion were generally poor and didn't really create anything. I'm not sure about him, when he's on form he's creative, but he doesn't score many. He's had a decent season, but there are about five or six other Swiss players that I'd prefer over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say his main strength is running at the opposition with the ball at his feet. He's quite strong and quick, works hard and is quite versatile. It looks like he's on his way this summer, Dortmund were interested in him in January. It may be a bit too early for him though, it's a big step up for a Swiss player to play abroad.

He's different from Dyer in that he's fairly tall and stronger. He's also played in defensive midfield this season. Had a bit of bother with his knee in the past IIRC.
