He can't play 3 games without getting injured
The Karel Poborsky Award (Not Davor Suker)
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
Someone with good hair I reckon 
If Finland manages to miraculously get to the playoffs (likely needs draw against Belgium) then maybe Pohjanpalo will get some suitors.
Perfect for a Poborsky award then
I know it's petty but the inclusion of Suker in the title really irks me!
He was a brilliant striker over a long period of time for Sevilla and Real Madrid- with nearly a 1 in 2 record. And scored 45 goals in 69 games for Croatia!
Doesn't deserve to be lumped in with Poborsky as a one tournement wonder.

Poborsky wasn't really a one-tournament wonder either. He only failed at United and was a very good winger. I thought he could have stayed another year or two at Lazio as he was playing some very good football there and still had enough left to have a great Euro 2004 where he had 4 assists.
I thought he was the most dangerous player on the pitch when we played them in Rome, caused havoc down the left, but went off injured, as a few others of theirs did.
Remember when he was sent off for a second booking at Old Trafford in 2004 and the fans gave him a standing ovation as he left the pitch? He looked genuinely moved by it.
Always put in a shift. Wrong time for him, really. Few could have broke into our midfield in the 90s. It would go on to win the Champions league 2 years later.
In fact, looking at how good he was in 2003/04, you could argue he'd have been a handy squad player instead of the likes of Djemba-Djemba and Kleberson.

Nicolas Gaitan
I will amend it!
Was really impressed with Kevin Mbabu. I know he played for Newcastle previously but seems a good option for other teams at RB/RWB.
It was more tongue in cheek being signed from the tournament.
Breel Embolo looks decent, i know he's been around for a while but never seen much of him.
Hopefully daniel james so that we can offer him to leeds in exchange of Phillips.
I don't know if bale would be classed in this category but if puts in more performances like yesterday during the tournament then I can imagine a few big clubs will be tempted to give him a chance before realising it to be a financial mistake, same with Ramsey as I'm sure juve wouldn't mind selling for the right fee considering they got him for nothing

I don't think Bale can be classed in the category of 'previously unknown player who bursts onto the global scene via an international tournament'... But Real will be pleased that he's playing well enough for potential suitors to take note.
Spinazzola. And this is unfair to Suker who was excellent striker. And he signed for Madrid 1996 so...
But he is a prick as a person so who cares

as a FC Inter Milano fan, still cursing about Portugal's Joao Mario performances in Euro2016.
Hasn't really developed since he first burst on the scene but looked good in the first game.
Some people getting excited about Denzel Dumfries it seems.
Sounds like an Adam Sandler character from the late 90s
Don’t know how well he’s known but that damsgaard youngster for Denmark looked tricky
Renato Sanches had a good game yesterday.
Spinnazzola has had a good tournament.
Agreed.
Mæhle has been the stand out for us I feel, probably too suspect defensively to play in a back four, but a back 5 with freedom to attack he could be amazing.
The coolness for the 3-0 goal was very impressive

Definitely made an impression.
Think he only moved to Atalanta in January so probably won’t be moving again.
Remember when we were linked with Dragovic a while back. Seems a sold CB.
Two names that I didn’t know before the tournament but now will remember are Schick and Damsgaard
Schick is a good forward though, a bit inconsistent but he’s done well in Germany.
That’s fair, I just think he’ll be more of a household name after this tournament
Very highly rated when he was at Sampdoria too. Juve tried to sign him but he failed the medical.
Denmark’s left wing back. Maehle or something.
