Asamoah Gyan (Ghana)
“I’m not surprised to be a star here (in the World Cup). I know what I am worth when I am 100 percent fit. I thank God for that.” Can’t you just love a guy who gives cocky statements like this? The mysterious Ghana striker might have wasted his team’s chances of progressing into the semi-finals when he missed that last minute penalty against Uruguay, but don’t forget that it was Gyan who scored 3 out of 5 goals for Ghana. Liverpool, Fenerbache, Sunderland and West Ham are all interested in signing him, but they will have to open up their wallets really good if they expect Rennes (Gyan’s current club) to sell him.
Javier Hernandez (Mexico)
Finally, finally, finally, Manchester United will get a real striker! Alex Ferguson showed once again why he’s so good at what he’s doing: he secured Hernandez’s future at Old Trafford last April, two months before the rest of the world could see in the World Cup what Hernandez is capable of. He should have played more. He came on twice as a substitute and started just once, but he still managed to score two goals (including the one against France).
Giovani Dos Santos (Mexico)
Maybe it’s only because he reminds on Ronaldinho, but isn’t the Mexican player so fun to watch? He didn’t have much luck in Barcelona (spent only one season playing for A team), and Tottenham Hotspurs keeps tossing him to other clubs (he’s currently on loan in Galatasaray). Apparently Dos Santos’ work ethics are not best. Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp said that Mexican was constantly late for trainings and that he’s spending too much time in night clubs (another similarity with Ronaldinho), but if the 21-year-old gets serious ASAP, the Premier League will get another star. Just imagine him pairing up with Luka Modric. Priceless.
Milos Krasic (Serbia)
Yes, he broke Serbia’s hearts with his numerous misses against Australia in the crucial World Cup game, but it’s enough to watch the replay of him having fun with the Germany defenders and we forgive him everything. The CSKA winger is lacking consistency, which means that in some games he almost does not touch the ball at all, while in others he is the main force that drives the whole team to victory (something like Arshavin). Reports say that Manchester City and Juventus have been fighting for him for a long, long time. Krasic wants to go to Italy, while his club, CSKA, would prefer to send him to England. The reason is obvious – Manchester is offering much more.
Luis Suarez (Uruguay)
Forget about Maradona’s “Hand of God.” Luis Suarez is now in. He showed during that game against Ghana what real passion is. Twice he stopped the ball at the goal-line, using his amazing goal-keeping skills. The guy has a great reflex. By the way, he’s striker.
Suarez is playing for Ajax, and during last season he scored around forty goals. Enough said.
