Tymoschuck - bless you!

Doesn't sound like we've made any big inquiries, but we might be interested. I don't recall anything about this chap from the limited times I've seen Shaktar Donetsk play - anyone got any info?

But a player who actually ENJOYS physical football? Wouldn't that be nice...

Something we lack.
When you look at teh double team in 98 we had
Dixon, Keown, Adams, Winterburn, Vieira, Petit & Grimandi when he was 'deployed' who could all mix it up. What do we have now?
Explains why teams like Bolton , Blackburn & Man U kick us off the pitchh.
Ofcourse on the flip side we have a lot more flair now.

good old gilles grimandi. what a quality bloke.

Sounds highly interesting - a player who likes the physical play , but erm what position does he play ?

Defensive mid, so the article says.

i was talking to my manc friend and he said what arsenal are missing is a truely fearsom player. i mean someone who strikes genuine fear into opponents and physically abuses them. we've been blessed with some awesome hardmen in the past. one of gilberto's strengths is that he is very neat in his "dirty work", perhaps too neat sometimes if you ask me. while he is as formidable a bareer as one could ask for in defensive midfield, he's not exactly scary. he has that nice guy look about him and never gets sent off. thats why this tymoschuck talk is so encouraging. i grab every chance i get to watch shakhtar because julius aghahowa is one of my favourite nigerian players and from the little i have seen, he's the real deal. he can be downright evil at times. i would love someone like that at highbury.

I always thought Lauren looked pretty evil

He has the face of a ****ing ox.

 

[longrufus]

Sounds like a decent player, havnt seen him much though. Would much rather have M. Diarra from Lyon, i think he is amazing and there most important midfielder, without him, essian or juninho would not look as good.

So fair to say he is not a pretty boy?

 

[Gurgen]

Tymoschuk is a defensive midfielder and is very hard working. He is probably one of the hardest working players I've ever seen. He is a good tackler and has a good shot, and adequate passing. And yes he looks like and ox

this is his uefa.com profile . It seems that he has played as a forward , as a centerback and as a defensive mid during his career . Is a strong boy with an eye for the goal . Havent see him play , but he looks like somebody who we could use

Midfield bruiser? exactly what we need I believe problem is where will he play, ahead of PV4 or Gilberto?

 

[AFCG7]

He's a bruiser alright.. seen him play on 3 or 4 occasions and the most impressive thing about him those times was his abilty to ride tackles .. i've seen players have 3 or 4 hacks at him and the brute still tries to keep going.

Brute... Well, I always like players that can be described as brutes...

Thats what ive been saying for years, Gattusso or Van Bommel would be my ideals but they are non starters!

 

[JGooner]

We don't need fearsome players, just big, powerful, athletic ones in every area of the pitch. Bionic rather than thuggish. Vieira, Henry, Gilbert, and Campbell are good examples but a couple more would be good. One of our great advantages over the Wenger years has been the sheer size and power of our players - we sometimes look like some kind of master-race compared to the opposition.

 

[seanconvey66]

Nah we need someone to put their foot in where it hurts at the right time, ala Roy Keane............

 

[gunnertilldeath]

i thought i remembered seeing him play in central defence once but i wasnt sure if that was my mind ****ing with me.
