Dr. Bapswent Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 http://wwww.clubfanzine.com/ipswich_town/v2.showNews.php?id=11815 Town Chasing Southampton's Sk?celTuesday 08 Jul 2008 13:54:09 by Phil TWTD understands that Southampton?s Rudi Sk?cel is the man Jim Magilton is targeting in order to solve Town?s lack of left-sided midfielders. The Czech international is well-known to new international scout Simon Hunt, who took the 28-year-old to Hearts during his time at Tynecastle. The Saints are believed to want ?1 million for the 5ft 10in tall midfielder, who started his career with Hradec Kr?lov? in his home country, moving on to Slavia Prague in 2002. After just over a year with Slavia, during which time he won the Czech Cup and was in the Czech team which won the 2002 European U21 Championships, Sk?cel joined Olympique Marseille in France for ?2.5 million, where spent two years but failed to make a serious impression, particularly after manager Alain Perrin moved on. Loan spells at Panathinaikos and then Hearts followed, before a permanent ?1.6 million switch to Southampton in the summer of 2006, the Trutnov-born player signing a four-year deal. In January, Sk?cel joined Hertha Berlin in the German Bundesliga in an attempt to win himself a place in the Czech squad at Euro 2008, something he felt was unlikely if he was playing in the Championship. Sk?cel, who has been capped five times by his country, scoring his only goal on his debut against Canada in 2003, was called into the Czech squad for the tournament as a late replacement but failed to make an appearance. Hertha are believed to have had an option to sign Sk?cel but have decided against making the move a permanent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Let it go already. Why are threads about Rudi Skacel always met with this type of response? Had the thread been about, for example, Andy Kirk's latest career move, the responses would have been along the lines of 'Good player for us, we could do with him now'. Cheers for the info Baps.

Martin Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'd be surprised if no one better came in for him. Ok, things didn't work out at Southampton but by all accounts played well at Hertha Berlin, plus he got into the Euro 2008 squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Whenever I read things like that, I can't help but come over all unreasonably hopeful. I know he's not coming back, but I still really really wish he would. Humph. Maybe the fact that he got a louder cheer & song than the man of the hour at Robbie's testimonial was enough to remind him how much he enjoyed it here.... Yes, I know...

No, because that would be tired old ground. Threads appear on these subjects frequently (which I'm sure, is what you're getting at). This is a new piece of info on a ex-player. A player I don't think I've seen a thread about on here recently. So not much like your example above at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Any excuse to show my video. GET HIM BACK NOW Have watched that every so often. What a player Rudi was for us. Howitzer of a left foot. Have never seen a Hearts player who just didn't seem to miss for that wonderful few months. Absolutely brilliant to watch, goalscorer and penalty scorer in the Cup final too. Was fantastic to see him back for Robbie's game - and he was straight back into it with a belted shot into the top corner! :pray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That video of Rudi really brings back the memories. Favourite ever time of being a Hearts fan was when he was at the top of his game and we were battering every team in sight, going to Parkhead and getting a draw and singing we are unbeatable and actually believing it. Why did Vlad have to do this to us!!!! What a team that was Gordon, Fyssas, Webster, Elvis, Rudi, Brellier, Hartley, Janny and Bednar. We really were just a couple of players short of an unbelievable side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See nothing to disagree with that analysis regards his 'post Hearts' performances. Half a season from Skacel would have been enough to make him Player of the Year last year. His form in the second half of that season coincided with Hearts stumbling over the line. Had VR not sacked Burley then I think he would have been a shoo in for Scotland's Player of the Year.
