AussieDog Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 As for pace...are Man City fast? They're the champions, yet seem to be mainly fast at full back. We won't be slow there ourselves. Wide though, with Silva and Nasri, their emphasis isn't on pace is it. I know it's nice to have, but it's far more important to have decent footballers. Combine the two and you're talking that rare talent that costs the earth. Hence why most the fast wingers out there have little end product and frustrate everyone. It's not leg speed that is important it is speed of thought and the speed the ball is moved on that is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 Another name that's just popped up on another forum. Niklas Moisander 26 year old Finish captain and CB Niklas Moisander, (born 29 September 1985 in Turku) is a Finnish footballer, who currently plays for Dutch team AZ and the national team of Finland. He is the captain of both teams. He is a centre back, but can also play as leftback. He is the twin brother of Henrik Moisander. Will be interesting to see if this picks up pace.

Matthew Le God Posted 19 July, 2012 Share Posted 19 July, 2012 We do like the Dutch leagues don't we? Makes sense to scout it, high standard, close-by, relatively cheap transfer fees/wages and lots of the players speak English fluently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 Not really a recent conversion, he has played there before for both Plymouth Argyle and Southampton youth teams.
