Hunting at Schalke

[Musashi]

[Update 253] The Journalist


A new ITK popped up at SC (I'll let @spursman18 do the update), and it was mentioned that we are in for the Schalke striker who must not be named.

And we're supposedly interested in Jefferson Farfan as well.

[IH8GOONS]

The only person i imagine it would be is huntelaar but although that ITK sounded genuine we're linked witth him every transfer window.

Farfan would be the peruvian yes, good player.

No comment on C*ntelaar.
As for Farfan, big fan of him. Very versatile- can play winger or second striker and has some great pace on him.

[Musashi]

Farfan is definitely interesting. Since we missed out on Gervinho, he is a nice alternative as the right wing/striker, and can also play as SS. So goals from the side? lol

[IH8GOONS]

I know its only rumours but IF we signed farfan he would either be sub or start ahead of lennon?

Because van der vaart fills the second striker option.

[Musashi]

I reckon he would replace Lennon, especially if we go 4-3-3.

[crocop]

Why don't we play 4-3-3? I don't get it! We have the perfect squad for a 4-3-3 formation.

[SpursBoy96Jay]

Huntelaar.. meh, he's played with Vaart before though plus Dutch players are usually good in the Prem.
I would love Farfan i rate him highly, and Jurado it could be? I saw him score a few belters in the Bundesliga last season.

I don't think Lennon is suited to be the right wing of a 4-3-3. He's more of a traditional winger and his goal scoring ability is lacking. VDV on the other hand lacks the pace. In a 4-3-3, I would use VDV as one of the CM but we'll need a better right forward.

I'd play bale as RW, Defoe as LW and a top striker!

[Musashi]

Bale is wasted at RW IMO. And lol @ Defoe. He is only a goal poacher and nothing else.

I wasn't serious, i was just joking

[crocop]

We don't have the players to play 4-3-3! If we buy someone like Farfan i would try it though with Bale as LW, Farfan as RW and a great striker. 4-3-3 is definately the most modern formation(Barcelona) with 2 wingers tracking back a lot and creating space for the midfielders.

I'm surprised no one has commented on some of his other ITK in that big post - namely the bit about affelay!

[Havocc]

Huntelaar!!!!! Time to resurrect that 300 page thread from last summer!!!!!
