duncanmckenzieismagic Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i wouldn't say he was a great tackler or passer, he's just someone who flies in...felli does that too doesn't make him good at it. cana is a decent player but he's nothing special. i've always said it, mbia's the better player. he's gone yeh, but doesn't automatically mean cana is a good buy. I cant remember ever seeing Fellaini fly into a tackle, all his bookings have been for stupid fouls like tripping someone when he doesnt need to or for persistent fouling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I am inclined to agree with Craccer on this one now. Poeple are claiming he will be our very own Roy Keane, when in matter of fact he is closer to a player like Nicky Butt and not really what the club is crying out for. He would be entertaining for opposition fans to watch, but I have a feeling that we would lose patience quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon1993 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 cana flies in yes, but very rarely if you watch french football as often as I do then you will see how often he flies in and how often he makes great tackles. Cana flies into tackles when his team are losing, he gets the crowd going and starts to show the team his passion, somehow the team then starts to get back into the game. Watch some matches where marseille are losing and youll see how often cana makes a tackle that raises the crowd and how often they come back to win. It may seem stupid but that is what we are lacking sometimes, I mean when neville made that tackle on ronaldo last season, he flied in and that got the fans fired up and on the teams side which raised the teams performance in the match. That is why we need cana he can be that inspiration towards the fans and team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMouse Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Sorry if this link is already up.... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11671_5432349,00.html Why do players keep using us as a means to getting themselves a bigger contract..... and if it is true... lets nick some of Hary "twat face" Redknapp's tactics and put in a higher late bid.....

thehelmet Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Has anyone seen any reports connecting Cana to Liverpool? I've heard from different people now that Benitez have been trailing him as well, and Madridistas are hoping that Liverpool getting Cana will free up Xabi Alonso for a transfer to them.. Is this all just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 to be fair to the lad he's not a bad player don't get me wrong, he's been very important to a successful Marseille side for a few years. all i'm saying is that people are overrating him based on youtube, he's a good player but at that level...to put things in perspective ' you can't turn a ho into a housewife' and/or 'you couldn't turn alex nyarko into patrick vieira'...the same applies here. Marseille are a club on the up at the moment, and they bought a better player in Mbia. that doesn't mean Cana isn't a good player, but top 6 Premiership? hmmm I'm not convinced, I think he's middle table standard, he'd be good for Spurs or Blackburn or someone like that. you say that, but m'bia nearly moved to stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 you say that, but m'bia nearly moved to stoke But he didn't though. He actually took alot less money to remain in France. Stoke where interested in M'Bia but that's just becasue he's a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC247 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Lorik Cana says he will back out of a move to Hamburg should Everton launch a last-gasp £6million bid in the next 24 hours. The Marseille midfielder was supposed to complete a move to Germany over the weekend, but a late hitch put the move in doubt. The 25-year-old is set to leave the French club this summer, with Marseille having already splashed out on another Everton target, Stephane M'bia, as a replacement for the Albania international. Cana, who has also been watched by Tottenham and Arsenal, said: 'Everton are interested, they are a very good club. I also have other options in Italy.' Everton also maintain an interest in Cardiff's Joe Ledley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste6363 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i think cana at 6m is a great bit of buisiness , he might not of been our first choice but it leaves money to strengthen in other areas like right midfield/wing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexKing Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Im a big fan of him. Im really hoping we will have that 6m to do some good business. Jump from France to EPL is big, but i really believe that captain of Marseille is capable of doing that. Wow i really believe we could have a chance to have a player(already known player) who some other team would want aswell. This is pretty realistic i think and for another holdng midfielder i think he would be very good option. Hes lot more than just a mad man with crazt tackles with will scare shit ouf of opponents, hes an influential footballer at first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Im just lookin forward to fifa if we get Cana, noone will get past him....slide tackles galour! i understand people questioning Cana's ability, personally i think he would fit in really well into our team, i think he's got that desire to win and the inspirational character that we need in the middle. If our back four see that they've got someone like that in front, im sure they aswell as Howard would feel that little bit more comfortable. Especially as a few goals we did conceed last season were from outside the box after our boys backed off...i dont think Cana is the sort of person to 'back off'. i still think with his chamions league experince, never say die attitude and obvious moments of class, he's a snip at 6mil. But again thats my opinion and im sure many disagree. Naughton and Cana this week, and i will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
