Diego Forlan

[Metaphysical]

30 years old and with no proven track record in European competition. No thanks.

he's not played for sides where that's really been possible, except united, and he barely played for them!

samu had no track record when we got him, and he's still not super prolific in the champions league. yeah he's scored in two finals but how many finals has forlan played in?

 

[gazza]

Fantastic so prolific best player in spain
Wonder why they ain't been queueing up since he left man utd.
What an earth is he under discussion for ?
Aint he just a year younger than a player we've already got that's scoring goals !
Bojan at is age is brilliant stick with im.

Forlan is a fantastic player. Can score from anywhere and has been top scorer in Europe 2 seasons out of four for a team that is just a fourth place contender. Would love him here and in my opinion anyone who wouldn't has no actual basis for it.

Apart from his age and his complete and utter failure at Old Trafford. I once saw Diego Forlán miss a penalty for United against Northampton Town in an FA Cup 4th round match.

I think it's fair Adam not to compare Man U forlan with Villarreal /Atletico Forlan.. two completely different players.. he matured & developed a lot since he left Man U .. regarding the CL goals .. if i remember correctly he was the one saving Atletico's Ass vs Porto in the CL last year

 

[Cule Angles]

Maybe so, but I still don't have a good feeling about him coming to Barça, despite all the goals. 2 pichichis at two different La Liga clubs should make me feel overjoyed at his potential arrival but somehow I'm not.

A bit like how i feel about Benzema

 

[antonnn]

Difference is Benzema is young and has a future(whether good or bad, who knows) ahead of him.

 

[AnfieldEd]

big fish small pond syndrome is Forlan.

 

[Snyde]

Well he has never been in your supposed big club other than ManU. To discount him on his performance there is idiocy.

His age for starters and usually it takes a while before they settle, thats my basis.

No way would i have i'm in front of Eto'o or Henry

He's just too old. He's a great player, but we should focus on a younger signing.

I do consider Villa to be the number 1 dream signing, BUT... when you say we should focus on a younger signing, we can consider Bojan to be that 'signing' for us, in that if we have Forlán as our no. 1 striker, he will allow for Bojan's better development, and will be ready to step down when Bojan needs to come in and take on the starting XI role.

Exactly! Also offers something different than Villa/Eto'o

Not in Henry's class to do it at a Top club at 30.
He can stay far far away frm this club. Barca deserves better...
