PaulRFC1 115 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 ALLY McCOIST is weighing up a move for Samba stopper Emilson Sanchez Cribari.The new Rangers boss has been offered the chance to sign the Brazilian defender from Italian outfit Napoli.Cribari, 31, is available on a free transfer after being told he can quit the Serie A side.The big centre half has been tipped for a return to his homeland with Brazilian cracks Botafogo leading the chase to land him.Cribari's agents have also been working to get him offers from clubs in the UK.McCoist has been running the rule over him as he ponders offering him a deal.The new Gers gaffer is desperate to sign a defender with Davie Weir's future uncertain.The 41-year-old could be offered a new 12-month deal but would NOT be expected to play throughout the season.Madjid Bougherra is also likely to attract attention this summer.Meanwhile, Turkish outfit Bursaspor's move to tempt both Allan McGregor and Steven Whittaker to Turkey last night appeared to have stalled.Reports there claim £5million-rated keeper McGregor - also wanted by Aston Villa - is too expensive.They are now eyeing Stijn Stijnen of Club Brugge in Belgium.Bursa believe they could land Whittaker, with only one year left on his deal, for £1m.It's understood, however, that McCoist will fight to keep him.Gers have received NO formal bid as yet.Bursa hitman Kenny Miller, who has struggled to adapt to life in Turkey, has been linked with a THIRD spell at Gers.McCoist is looking at other options with Israeli Tomer Hemed a target Gers received a major boost yesterday when they were confirmed as top seeds for the Champions League third qualifying round. Should they reach the final qualifying round they'd again be seeded.Celtic look certain to be seeded in the final qualifying round for the Europa League.Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3613972/Coisty-eyes-Samba-stopper.html#ixzz1O4UxfF00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GF John 169 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That Stijn Stijnen guy mentioned in there is a bit of a character.Seen this guy playing a few times and he always looked like pure defender with absolutely nothing else to his game. He'll put up a brick wall and nothing will get past, but half the time his distribution is so poor the ball will just go right back to the opposition immediately.

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I like the fact that there is news. That keeps me busy looking into it all As for the player, I don't know much about him but a player being told he can leave a club doesn't usually fill me with confidence. Saying that, Napoli had a good team this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbroadfooot 68 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Would be a good move IMO. There's no shame in not getting a game in Napoli's defence.I wonder about his wages tho (he's been at some pretty big clubs). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GF John 169 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Did he not start anonymously posting on message boards that the other goalie was shite? Aye, lost his place in the Brugge side, then made up loads of accounts under assumed names on all the club messageboards, calling the other keeper a shite cunt, and talking about boycotting games unless he got his place back.He went and got a banner made up and tried to get people to take it to a game etc, but he was found out and the club ditched him.Seems like a proper mental.

TexasGers 96 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 He's got a foreign sounding name so he must be good!Doesn't bother me that he's over 30, experience at the back is always a good thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well he wasn't first choice at Napoli, but the few times he played and I watched, he acquitted himself well. Passed it out of defence instead of blootering it and looked reasonably sharp pace wise.I don't really watch Lazio that much though, other than the Rome derby, where I singled him out for abuse due to his unnaturally long neck.pahahah "ya fukin long necked bastard" better than "Ya fukin black necked bastard" i suppose.Please dont ban me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'll have to sleep on it :angry: Just you think wisely or you wll be recieving Totti's toes through the post for every day i am banned. When i run out of toes i will move onto sections of foot/ankle and leg. Also they will be wrapped in Lazio scarves. So think wisely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Is it only me that thinks having the word "Brazilian" before the word "defender" makes me think he's less likely to be any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the brazilians have some of the greatest defenders in the world yet this thought of whether they're any good comes to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
