sammynb 3653 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I saw Forlan against a second string Australian team a couple of weeks ago and although he scored (a tap in after some shit defending) he really looked nowt special. Recoba was constantly trying to play him into space and Forlan either could read the game or like Martin's doesn't know where to run when off the ball. It's all well and good in Spain but to be successful as a striker in the premier league a player has to make their own space by moving off the ball.

Gemmill 47247 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I thought Forlan's movement was decent? Haven't seen him play that often but isn't that one of his strengths? Or am I talking shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Think we should keep tabs on Defoe if Bent goes to Spurs and Owen and Martins fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Maradona once he returns to his home land he'll never have to wash his own penis again. And Gemmill, maybe it was just because it was meaningless friendly but I remember him being average at man u in that regard, hence he missed a lot of sitters because he was rushing to make up for his lack of anticipation.
