KazzyTI 267 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Playing just now for Mexico in the World Cup, he's been released by West Ham. He is knocking on a bit at 33 years of age but he would be available on a free and he has top-level experience with Villarreal.The wages would be a slight worry but a leak of the wage structure at West Ham in May this year but him on £20k a week. He's a strong player and good in the air so he could hack the SPL in my opinion and, while he hasn't been prolific since he left his home country, he has scored in strong leagues and he'd get more than enough chances at Rangers. The lure of trophies and European football, especially at his age, could be a dealbreaker.Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam2102 582 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 he has been dire, missed 2 or 3 sitters already (sitters in the eyes of the commentators). doesnt seem to have much composure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazzyTI 267 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 i would rather have dos santos on loan for a yearAye but let's be realistic. There is no way a player with most of his career ahead of him would want to come to Scotland and have the shit kicked into him but centre-halves with no pace and sharpened studs.Franco on the other hand could handle himself and he's more than comfortable with the ball at his feet.I think I've cursed him for the game btw, he's missed two very good chances with his head.

MKGER 138 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 west ham fans didnt rate him and they're used to watching shite so id rather pass on that one. id say hes just a tanned version of veliecka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappa 24 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 He's absolutely shite. Fantastic touch but he's got the finishing skills of Samaras & Fortune rolled into one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did end up on loan at Ipswich. Barca to Ipswich via spurs in the space of a year then ended up at galatasaray on loan. Would love to see him at ibrox on loan but exactly the sort of player that would be targetted for some rough stuff. Can play on the left too ; ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
