Ricardo Vaz te & other youngsters

[aussie wanderer]

I apolagise in advance if anything i ask is obvious or already covered but being in australia i hear very little about bolton & only can rely on the big websites for my infomation & they dont really cover bolton all that well. Ricardo Vaz te is a fellow i've been reasonably impressed with when i've seen him play on telly yes its different to being there & i've probably missed games where his been pants but i really like him, i know his been injured but when is he expected to be fit again, another is dzemalli who my suisse mate informs me is the next big thing in suisse football i haven't seen him so wouldn't no but would like to hear someones imput on him & finally a couple of good buys who i think the club should strongly look at who would come very cheap are joel griffiths & robbie kruse both quality players in the A-League ( yes the A-League is garbage) but i highly rate these players & think the club should make a play at them.

At the back end of the 2005/06 season Vaz Te was on a good run in the team and more importantly was putting the ball in the net.

Last season he was restricted to mainly sub appearances of about 5 or 10 minutes and never really got going.

He had a good pre-season for us this year but got injured in the opening game and has been out since. Played for the reserves last week and scored but you can't rush people back from knee injuries.

Same goes for Dzemaili really. Signed the pre-contract last February and got injured in April. Played in the FA Cup last month and was fairly anonymous and didn't know what to do when he was on the ball.

He was linked with a move to Hertha Berlin in the transfer window but Megson's told him to knuckle down and show us what he can do. If we're going to get anything out of him at all it'll probably be next season, but by all reports so far he doesn't look too promising.

As for the two guys in the A-League, I'll hold my hands up 'never heard of them'.

thanks fo the lowdown manny, yea i doubt anyone from outside australia have heard of them, Joel Griffiths i think is a better player then Nicky Carle & Nick Ward who have both played championship football ( Carle currently with bristol & ward used to be with QPR). Young Kruse is currently 18 years of age & is argubly has the best technique out of anyone in the a-league, a league not known for its class lets say but his deffently an exception, there is probably another 3 or 4 players in the league who i believe could also make the jump eventually to the premier league, Austrilia has recently proved itself to be a decent breading ground for good players so i think it would be a good area to get a scout to & really the prices will be a whole lot cheaper then an 18 year old in europe or south america so just a thought. Hows young scotty Jamieson going i believe his a young aussie kid.

Another player is David Carney who i'm sure you've heard of, he did play for sydney FC the team i love to hate but even taking that into account i honestly would of had 8 players in the league ahead of him yet his made a pretty good contribution at championchip level so i just honestly believe we could snap up some really good players very cheaply from this part of the world.

You don't see many players coming over from Australia to England.

It's usually the other way around and at the end of somebodys career. But saying that there are a few that came over at a young age and made names for themselves. Cahill and Kewell to name two.
