		What about Emil Kostadinov which play in Fenerbahce in 1996/97 season, i saw the reportages of the Turkish league and i think that he played very good for Fenerbahce.
		Kostadinov wasnt at the top of his form while he was playing for Fener.
		May be Kostadinov wasnt at top, but, man...he was terific fast with the ball and any left back can't stop him without break..May be you right that he don't score very much, but he a winger..his work is to create some goal opportunities and to do panic in the opposite defence..

		This season Kostadinov was transferred to Turkish champion Fenerbahce Istanbul.
		Emil Kostadinov despite his age showed that he still can score goals but he had a hard time in Turkey where only 3 foreigners are allowed to play at once and so he often had to take place on the bench.
		But also for the Bulgarian team he showed that he's still a world-class striker and we may see him play elsewhere next season, he still belongs to FC Porto who hold his transfer rights.
