You should have seen a bulgarian we had at the time Figo was coming through... Balakov...a pure genius. I think he could have had a better career than Stoichkov if didn't come to Sporting at the time.
We signed Izmailov from Russia and Vukcevic was there also. Vukcevic is 23, still learning but he had a clash with the manager which left him out of the side for a couple of months. The lad is hungry he just wanna play all the time. He doesn't mind playing anywhere, he just wants to be there. And he has such a will..amazing. Unfortunately we won't have enough money to keep him in the near future. His game is all about heart and passion.
Hes a big lad to isnt he, the match i saw him play for the national team he played up front, he actually didnt start he came on as a sub, i think that was in and around the time he wasnt getting into the sporting team. I remember that Bulgarian fella as well!
I was just thinking what a team you would have had if Sporting where able to hold on to their best players over the past few years!
Cahmpions leauge no worries!
