Manchester United have been linked with a move for the talented attacker and Bettor.com analyzes whether the club should splash the cash for his services this January or not.
James Rodriguez; A name which has become synonymous in Europe with quality and consistency in the past few seasons. The Colombian front-man has been a pivotal figure for the Portistas in recent years and shined during the club’s quadruple winning campaign.
His performances have not gone unnoticed amongst the continent’s top clubs, with a number of the trying to secure the player’s services.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is known to be an admirer of the winger and although he waived away reports regarding a move for Rodriguez today, the Scot has never been too vocal about his transfer targets.
The forward would be a perfect fit at Old Trafford and considering the recent situation with Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299, there could be an opening at the helm soon.
Portugal's regular star has become the subject of vile abuse from fans this term and so far has disappointed coaches with his displays as well.
Despite his below-par outings, Nani is eager to secure another contract and is aiming for a huge pay rise as well. However, United are unwilling to play ball and reports claim that the former Sporting Lisbon man could be on his way to Juventus in the next
few months.
With him gone, Ashley Young will become the first-choice starter and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 will act as a step-in for the England man whenever he is omitted from the starting eleven.
However, Young is at the peak of his powers and in a few seasons will be past his prime. Giggs remains United’s greatest player ever, but the Welshman will eventually retire and succumb to his ageing limbs in the near future.
Rodriguez represents a long-term investment and could do well under the tutelage of Young and Giggs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Though the transfer remains a tempting one, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 in the last season or so.
Fergie always targets value in the market and while the youngster is a bit pricy for his taste, he brings a natural ability to bombard forward and score goals to the table.
Having seen some truly sensational players destroy opposing full-backs on the left, the former Aberdeen boss will surely consider the thought of signing the Coffee Growers International.
United have emphasized the importance of wing play during the Scot’s tenure and that philosophy could be well suited to Rodriguez, who prefers to dink for a shot or curl in crosses for the front-man.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 have benefitted from Antonio Valencia’s service and the duo will surely increase their goal tally if they were to be handed chances from the opposite direction.
Nani has so far failed to convince Sir Alex that his future lies in Manchester and with the long-serving trainer famous for his short patience levels, the Seleccao International could be sent packing on short notice.
However, for the time being, Ferguson still regards the link with James Rodriguez as a joke and laughed away speculations linking the highly-rated wing man with a move to United.
"As far as James Rodriguez is concerned, I hope it's not true because it costs a fortune to get a player from Porto!" he said whilst talking to the media today.
