Muff 245 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Plays for Real Mallorca and Venezuela, he is on a free and is a left or right winger and can also play in behind the strikers.If anyone has been watching the Copa America then they'll know how class this guy is. He's fast, two-footed, hardworking, skillfull, delivers unbelievable crosses and his distribution of a ball is quality. He's been linked with a move to Valencia but as of yet he has had no offers.I'd love to see us make a move for him as he'd bring quality to the right of midfield.

mark_ni 12 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 i have seen him a couple of times, looks to be a decent player. If hes on a free we should definetly have a look. Wikepedia says hes expected to get a spanish passport in march 07 so i assume he now holds that passport so there wouldnt be any work permit problems. Think we should get someone to tell walter smith about this one, of course the guy might have no interest in coming to rangers but i think we should try. If you dont ask you dont get.

californiadreamin52 339 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Never seen him play, but the first question that crosses my mind is why did Real Mallorca release him if he`s that good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenage bear 5 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 He is a good player.But and its a big but South Americans dont do it over here, you would struggle to name 5 who have settled and made any impact.Silva at Arsenal is one who has made it, not many more and that is why I would steer clear of South Americans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Canniggia (think it's spelt right) and Negri.Neither of them were bad players for Rangers, Canniggia (ok) was getting to the end of his playing days, but if Negri didn't turn out to be a whinging barsteward then he could have become one of the greats.

Again, in his day when he first signed he was a fantastic prospect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
