Ciprian Marica

[Brotherz]

Ciprian Marica was extremley talented when he was younger, I mean, extremley. I remember when he was 21/22, he was my personal favourite talent in the world. I havnt really followed him since and I don't know what happens to he's career but he's statistics as a striker arnt too impressive, but he's still been given chances at good clubs.
Wenger was probably an admirer of him when he was younger, and believes he can get the best out of him, I find it hard to believe he could of lost he's ability which he showed when he was younger.

Better than nothing. Here's hoping it's a short term deal.

Seems more like an agent trying to get a buzz going.

We have got rid of most of our deadwood do we need to bring more in.

That's my thoughts as well. His agent seems to keep linking him to Arsenal but nothing ever eventuates from it.

I wouldn't say no to him on a one year deal, but anything more then that is probably pushing it.

This would be worse than Silvestre. And no, it's not better than nothing, I've seen him play often enough in the Bundesliga to know that "nothing" would still score more goals than he would.

Agree with this, and its really hard to get rid of deadwood. I think we should just tough it out for the next few months until january.

Thought the title said Captain America for a moment...

 

[MDGoonah41]

captain america has a good all around game, but how would he do on a cold night in stoke?

Becali even claims that a deal with Arsenal is in the pipeline, adding: "He's close to joining Arsenal, but we have to wait for the next week."
Perhaps a deal until January where we buy another striker?

The agent said the same thing in August. Sounds like a recycled story/quotes.

We already have Park

Yeah I agree he has hardly been prolific anywhere in his career, even when he was back playing in Romania. Bendtner is a much better second option, whilst Podolski is out.

Where is he? - you never see him on the training photos/videos or anywhere?

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

I've been asking that myself for nearly two years.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I've never watch Marica play, but looking at his stats and its very bad if we sign him just give him 1 year contract.

 

[bingobob]

Yeah that's what I thought. We have this good player on a free oh and Arsenal like him, should get a few managers interested who have probably never heard of him before.

 

[MDGoonah41]

there isnt much harm in offering him a short term deal. give him a 4 month contract, see if he can adapt and impress in training. if he plays well, renew the deal in january and give him a chance to showcase himself for his next deal.

that said, if i were him, id probably sign for west ham. more chances to impress, better chance of getting a better deal next season.

he seems pretty ****ty, based on what ive seen/read, but who knows really

By "nothing", are you including own goals and stray beachballs?

 

[mavelous]

sorry bro, taken. didn't he once score more than welbeck did in a season?

Yup agree we aren't signing this guy .
