Very impressive for Mexico against Brazil by far their best player. Moved to Real Mallorca from Tottenham for under £1 million, worth a bid surely?

Would be a great signing

Incredible talent. Watched the lad since he was 16, and not many can say they've scored a hat-trick for Barcelona.

Treated terribly by Redknapp at Spurs, and I'd worry that that may hinder a move back to England for the lad.

One player that impressed me for Japan yesterday and always has impressed me is Keisuke Honda. Who unbelievably is available on a free as CSKA Moscow let him go. I think he is an ideal Malky player - he never gives up, works extremely hard, could run all day and he is also a really goid technical player who can play in numeroys positions. I think he would be great for us in the Prem.

Bloooooobirds.

Not a chance in hell of getting him.

Didn't set the world alight at ipswich.
Not badly treated by redknapp at all, just wasn't good enough. If he was good enough he would have played.

Dos Santos is lazy. That's why Redknapp didn't like him.

Dos Santos would be class. Mallorca have just been relegated so I bet he would jump at the chance. As its being pointed out though he does look lazy at times. Got to be something up with the lad or he would still be playing for a top team.

Honda as well! Again, would be a class signing. I imagine other teams would be looking at him though.

Didn't set the world alight at Ipswich? He ran his guts out and took us apart when Ipswich beat us 3-0 in our last ever game at Ninian Park!

Trouble with going off one game is precisely that - its one game - thats why Clubs have scouts. Else we could all just watch
Sky Sports live matches and be armchair scouts :? :? (oops) :lol:

That one game was against one of the best national sides in which Mexico were poor, he's definitely got pace and skill and a final delivery. Everyone has to make a first impression to be noticed again and he definitely has potential to be a quality player :malky:

Awful? Hardly otherwise he wouldn't be a stand out performer for his country in the tournament. Goals aren't everything in football he draws 2 or 3 opponents creating space for other players
