If Di Cannio's age is no barrier, Batigaol's shouldn't either.
Errrmm...that's it. No links, no quotes, no rumours, just thinking out loud.

Here's an idea - Sign Batistuta!
- Thread starter Marcus
- Start date
Ssssshhh.

Who asked you, Dan Yankee?
Why not sign Maradona too?
We are not playing computer games. We need to ask ourselves "Which type of player do we need?" first before go out to find a player. We need a supporting striker, such as Di Canio who always drop back to hold the ball and create the play, not Bartigol who is just an all-out striker.
And Eric the Red King <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />
This wasn't computer-game inspired. Reasons to sign him:
1) We need another striker in case RVN or Ole get injured. He is a quality finisher.
2) He has retired from International Football, so he'd not be affected by International Games.
3) He has indicated an interest in playing in England and United in particular.
4) Fergie rates him.
If he does not cost that much more than PDC in terms of signing-on fee plus wages, I think he'd be a good striker to make up the 4 at United.

Giggs, Scholes, Veron and Beckham loading the bullets for RVN AND Batigol could be awesome.
Unfortunately this is all fantasy cos I couldnt see Batigol coming (out) to play

Ignorance is bliss. You ain't seen Bati in years. Probably...
Ask a Serie A connossieur like Piersi, and/or Argie, and see what they say.

You're not seeing passed the guys class chaps.
If he's had a poor season then his value will be down and he's worth a bid. Maybe £5m...
A fresh challenge in a fresh league with a team that attacks for 90% of every game might be just the tonic that Batigol needs.

what percentage of the game did the Argies attack England for? and they were hardly passive vs Nigeria.

It wasnt that long ago, and he was worthy of plenty of pitch time for the so-called WC favourites.
Surely he's not become a laughing stock already ?!?
Fickle bunch these Italians...

One of the reasons why the so-called favourites flopped so badly.
Another could be Veron.
And yet another could be England's performance against them.
Bati's too old. too bad really.
as much as people here poke fun at Batigol, y'all wish England got one like him (in his prime).
but hey hey...one trick pony and donkeykong ain't bad...

Don't know. Maybe you all start crying? <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />
With interest I hope.
probably the best (and most feared) striker of the last decade...

Not at all, Marcus. Batistuta was a great, no doubt about it. And no problem in admitting that.
But he WAS. End of story.

He's past his best, but that goal he scored against us in the Champs League a couple of years back was class.
