Tino Costa

I know he's not the youngest talent around buy boy does he know how to strike a ball.

Admittedly I haven't seen enough of him to make a solid judgement but there's something about his movement and the way he strikes the ball that's rather inspiring. Anyone seen more of him? (Bunny perhaps as he began his European career with Pau in France).

I know that the AM-spot perhaps isn't the most pivotal area for us to improve but when you're scoring goals like the ones he's scoring you'd be worth an extra look at least. The fact he's a lefty doesn't make him less interesting I guess:

Nice strikes. The first goal involved several interchanges around their box, so you wouldnt see that here, but the second one could be a typical Liverpool goal!!!

That first goal really is marvellous.

The fact he's Argentinian and say not Italian does give one confidence he'll not suffer greatly from the slightly more pacy and physical game in England either.
