    Same goes for taribo West who was more renowned for his haircuts rather than his play. Was a great defender.

    You listend Nigel De Jong in your original list.
    I'd say in the bigger picture of football these are more uknown than well known.
    Real football fans who follow leagues outside of their own countrt will have come across them, but the average arm chair fan won't have a clue of any promising players across the globe. They'd only be able to give you names such as "Aguero and Messi" which is frankly a joke. The amount of people who didn't know who Eduardo was before Arsenal signed him wasn't funny.

    Yeah fair enough I suppose. For some reason I thought De Jong was more unknown to most than the likes of Gourcuff (who I'm a really big fan of), even though De Jong played in (probably) a more popular league and now plays in City.

    The Eduardo thing was just laughable. Even if you didn't watch the Croatian League, you should at least know him from their national team.

    By the way, Edin Dzeko (one of the players on my list) has just scored a hat-trick for Wolfsburg in their 4-0 win over Hoffenheim.

    C'mon, surely you're not being serious. Everybody and their 2nd cousin has heard of Bojan...

    He will be a gun, but like Giovinco, Ranieri who will be there next season wont play him much, and he will get offered heaps of deals, and i think he will leave. It is rumoured that Giovinco is part of a deal to get Cassano, apparently it involves Poulsen, Giovinco and someone else + Cash. If we get rid of Giovinco, the club is a joke.

    Behrami is a top knotch player, think highly underrated. Think he's more suited to Italian football than English though, maybe that's why he hasn't really shown class yet, barring injury?
