Giovani Dos Santos

[EskWeston 696]

Well he could be used in either role and i think we could quite easily use him in either, if we are playing 4-3-3 we need a creative player to play higher up the park in the midfield 3 anyway and he would do a good job. Although he looks very good on the left wing too. Considering he is only 18 he would be a great aquisition, not had the best of seasons at Barca but considering he is contesting places with Eto'o, Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho and Co. it is pretty good

Told you lot months ago we wanted this kid

He'd be a very good addition to our sqaud, skillful, fast, fantastic player for his age, and he can only improve.

scored a brilliant hat-trick for barcelona what a player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giovani Dos Santos has told Barcelona that if he leaves the club then it will be on a permanent basis, after rumours circulated that they have suggested a loan deal.

The Mexican youngster has refused to even discuss the possibility of spending a year gaining experience elsewhere and insisted that if the Blaugrana want him out, then it will be for good.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have all been linked with the services of Dos Santos, with his agent doing his best to persuade Barca that the high level of interest should mean more money for his client.

If the Catalan outfit refuse to budge and insist that they want the player to play regularly at another club and then return to Camp Nou, Dos Santos will seek a permanent move.

"If I leave, it will be forever," Dos Santos told reporters. "I am someone who believes that if you close a chapter at one place then you cannot go back.

"All I want to do is succeed, whether that be at Barca or at another club."

Reports in Spain and Mexico are saying we've agreed to sign this fella. Should be an annoucement Friday.

Wikipedia already saying hes joined!

Would be amazing

[EskWeston 696]

Dos Santos at the moment is looking the most likely to arrive. And i for one would be happy to see it happen, to get these players who are not yet the finished article but have the ability to be massive players with great ability are the type of players we should be looking at.

With any luck we can get a deal done sooner rather than later.

one amazing kid, li'l weak but it'll be fiesty knowing how the blues react/standup, when of our own is given a rough time by someone..

I think strength is the last thing we should be looking for when it comes to finding creative players/wingers. The ability should come first, players adapt to the physical nature of the PL over time.

Check out this hat trick, the boy looks superb.

[Ollie 4,400]

He is superb. I watched him banging in the goals in pre-season, he seemed to score in every game. That hattrick was last week. Hes a real talent, very very good player. Be great to see him, but used properly.
