<strong>Chadwick as yet to convince me to be honest. He still seems to pass opponents through a combination of stumbling and total unpredictability in what he's going to do as a result of his inability to control the ball. He always looks like he's got the ball stuck under his feet and as though he's gonna fall over until miraculously he's passed his man! It's either genius or luck. I'll go with the latter.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Perhaps you're being just a tad unfair? One thing is for sure: as this level you cannot dribble past defenders just by being 'lucky and awkward'. Maybe once of twice, but Master Luke has done so at many occasions. IMO Chadwick has one special ability which is his ability to glide past defenders - but he's still extremely raw and I'm unsure if he'll make it at United's level. In fact, I probably wouldn't put my money on it. But IMO he isn't quite as useless as you make out...
 
Even don't talk about whether it is realistic or not, I wonder why people think we should exchange Veron for Crespo? Why not Veron+Crespo for us? They are good partner in Lazio and in Argentina. If They play for us together there may be huge spark between them, just like the Yorke-Cole partnership in the past.

Yes he was. Most S.Americans take a while to settle, or never do - but he looks great. The goals will obviously come eventually. I think he's going to be a handful for defences.

Aye!
He can dribble alright, but can he finish? Nope.
As shown in the Aston Villa game in the FA cup this year.

Giggs wasn't a good finisher when he started out, and he's not the best now either.
 
The verdict on Chadwick. Excellent going forward. Crap in the box decision making, crap accuracy. He has a long way to go if he's going to get more minutes imo.
 
just heard lazio have gone in for dacourt...some 15.5 mil pound deal apparently....if it's true, and in all probability, it is...surely that's put paid to the veron to lazio rumours, guess we can all sleep easy now eh....personally i think a direct swap deal; crespo for may sounds just about right, no? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
 
The Duffer is way too talented to be a reserve player for any team.After the World Cup he will be going to a top team and it wont be as a reserve,there has already been interest from Spain and Italy. :D
