Kanu al Valencia libera Juan Pablo Angel alla Lazio

Il Valencia sta tentando di accordarsi con l'Arsenal per l'attaccante nigeriano, ex Inter, Nwanwko Kanu. La societa' levantina e' alla ricerca di un attaccante di peso visto l'imminente divorzio con il norvegese John Carew, il cui futuro e' proprio legato alla Premiership. Con Kanu il Valencia rinuncerebbe definitivamente al colombiano dell'Aston Villa Juan Pablo Angel, giocatore che la Lazio sta seguendo da parecchio tempo.

Kanu owns a lotsa flair and ball skills , however , he lacks finishing touches from a striker point of view.

What we sorely missed is a quality striker.

Good analysis, Ziad

I agree with your description T4F, he's not a very good finisher and we desperately need one......also, if we want to bring a "big shot" for next season why should we waste our money on Kanu...he's not a starter for Arsenal for quite a while now......otherwise we could sign someone not so expensive like Tamudo from Espanyol......I saw there game against Celta on Sunday and I have to say I was impressed with him eventhough he had a horrible game overall(he scored a goal though)....he's very dangerous in counters(fast enough and quite skillful) and he's IMO the exact type of striker we need.........

but still, I would like us to get for the next season at least one big name,who has proved himself in the world of strikers.........

btw,it seems like we're seriously negotiating with Jardel, what's probably gonna make happy at least one person around here

from what I withnessed on Monday morning, our style of play was fast with Aimar leading those lightning strikes attacks.
A fast striker would suit us right.
In fact, when Sanchez was brought in, he blended into our play well. Maybe he would get more exposure.
I didn't have the chance to see much on Tamundo.
Can't comment abt that.

Kanu is good ya know and for a striker like him, he can defend pretty well:dielaugh:
On a more serious note....he is not the one for The Ches. Valencia should buy someone truly world class.

I've heard rumours about Kanu, Viduka(were dismissed by our officials), Jardel and Rebrov.. well Viduka is a good "Goal poacher" but he would cost too much, so he's off the list.. Kanu and Rebrov are not the exact kind of players we need since they tend to play a bit behind.. Jardel seems to be the only option out of those players, and altthough I really don't like him but his goal record speaks for itself and I think he would do a decent job ( atleast better than Carew and Salva )..

One thing though, would Jardel be considered as a foreigner if we sign him?

 

[jscho]

Its a definitely a NO for Kanu for me!!! Please, pls ............... get a proven goal scorer like we were suppose to last summer!!!

He played for FC Porto for 4 seasons at a stretch. That means it is likely thay he probably got a Portuguese passport by now, if not that way....then through ancestry like so many other Argentines and Brazilians. I think Valencia should try to sign him if possible. He is damn good. He has scored 33 goals in 25 matches this season for Sporting Lisbon

That's right!
Actually, I've also heard about Valencia trying to get Jardel.
If we sell Carew, and with Ilie gone, we should be able to get Jardel (pay a release fee + his salary). He's probably the only one we need up front. Actually the only one we can afford, maybe...
About him being a "foreigner", I think so. But it shouldn't be a problem, we'll have room for that.
