Always does the simple things, his reading of the game is exemplary. I don't recall ever seeing a striker give him the run around at St Andrews apart from one game where little Zola was just incredible.

Fantastic defender. Bargain at twice the price we paid for him.

You were playing a small Hungarian team who have never qualified for the champions league in their history , not bloody Brasil.

im sorry, i'll correct my previous statement- olic aint a bad player- shame he's in the russian league.

adidasss · 08-09-2005, 04:22 PM

that's funny you said that, i never thought he could play, he can run fast, that's it, he can't dribble to save his life, he looses the ball in 2 seconds, our best striker is by far prso, the ball sticks to his feet ,and Klasnic ain't too bad either, when he plays for Hertha, he plays like s-hit in the national squad....

Sneer · 08-09-2005, 04:25 PM

olic is the only player you have who has the ability to play off defenders shoulders with his pace, and he aint a bad finisher. prso scored 4 goals in the champions league once- in my opinion he aint anything special.

I remember actually seeing him in the flesh play for Villa. He was utterly woeful.

Jerko Leko is a decent player though, and Klasnic looked good in last season's CL, see how he does this season or whether he's a one season wonder.
