Not so much close control, but excellent control all the same, a delightful turn and a cracking volley. That's the players ability that is.

Not hard to see why Hodgson wants him.

Thank you . It was easy to predict .

Jacobsen signed.
Says Blackburns OS http://www.rovers.co.uk/page/NewsDetail ... 87,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On a free which is odd because he wasn't a free agent. One year deal.

Cant deny that was a great piece of instinctive play :thup:

Unfortunately for every 1 good example of CC there is also about 50 examples of shocking forward play.

I remember Shearer doing a piece on CC on MOTD last season in the lead up to the World Cup. I cant remember the opposition but he highlighted many examples of where CC simply failed to control simple passes which lead to an attack completely breaking down. Or indeed he scuffed a simple shot at goal.

Shearer basically said that he hates to higlight the shortcomings of fellow strikers but CC is simply not good enough.

I find it reassuring that we have signed a goalkeeper called Pervy Scientist

Should be interesting to see what the 25 man squad will be when they announce it soon (deadline is in 10mins for that)

What with Boffin coming in and Stech not having to be registered, will they leave Kurucz out of the squad and have Green, Boffin and Stech as the three squad goalies???

I dont think they'll be many shocks in the squad. I dont expect Collison, Hines and Kurucz to be added.
Boffin will be as he's 22 but Stech wont be as he's 20, but Stech has been quoted as saying Grant wants him to go out on loan and there has been lots of interest.

One noticable inclusion will be Tomkins. Not many people, including myself, would expect him to be added because of his age. But i noticed Eric Lijach of Villa has been added in their 25 and he's 21 years old. So i take it if a player is 21 they are in the 25.

Just had a look at our teamsheet and i dont think we'll manage to make up 25, i think we'll get 23. Then again not many teams will have 25 players over 21, Everton are expected to announce a squad of 21 and Villa 22.

Yeah basically if a player is turns 21 before the start of the season, in this case by 01/01/2010 he must be added to the squad so players like Stanislas, Stec, Spence, Sears etc dont have to be added to the squad, but Collison, Tomkins and Hines do.

You say you dont think Collison and Hines will be added. No doubt it would be the favorable option not to include them due to their injury and put in other players who can play, the only problem with that is that we have to include them to make up the 25 man squad, they are not allowed to be omitted purely because they are injured and other then our players who are under 21 we have 26 players.

Pretty sure they are out to the end of this, beginning of next year with their respective injuries and so they could be added in the January window if necessary when they might be match fit.
