The Debutants: Who’s the hottest?
Several players made their EPL/new team debut during this rather stellar weekend of footie – and we’ve noticed an interesting trend: the newbies are quite attractive.
For your consideration, we present to you:
Dimitar Berbatov for Manchester United. Sure, his hair is tragedy meets Count Chocula, but doesn’t he look fetching in a baseball cap? Plus, he recently bought a stackload of trainers and sports related misc to give to charity, and we like our millionaires to be generous.
Xisco for Newcastle United. Magpie fans, we recognize this is a difficult time. But the decision to take on Xisco and all of his super-buff, tattooed glory is one that you can take comfort and glory from for years to come. We’re hoping he decides to grow his hair back soon, so he’s less prison-hot and more regular-hot.
Robhinho for Manchester City. He’s as cute as a little multi-million pound bunny with the talent to back up his price tag. Also, when he sweats, £50 notes fall from the sky. That’s pretty special.
Vedran Corluka for Tottenham Hotspurs (tonight). He has eyes like grey, stormy pools of brooding manliness. Nuff said.
Who gets your vote as the most sizzle-worthy debutant?
Xisco get my vote.
Hairy arms. But loving it none the less!
xisco…
I am not sure that I support the idea that Berbs is on the list at all…he is just a transfer and not new to the prem
i've always had a secret appreciation for berba which was only enhanced by those skanky table-football photos, despite their high score on the Ujfalusi-ometer. However, a swift google-images check on Xisco has brightened my afternoon somewhat. Unusually for me, I actually prefer him with short hair but he clearly has hotness potential. Hmmm, I was already debating whether to go to the Newcastle-Blackburn game …

ummmmm…. I'm trying to decide between Corluka and Xisco. Ok – I'm going with Xisco – although Corluka's eyes are quite stunning, the shaved head and the novelty of a name beginning with X has won me over.
XISCO – Welcome to the Toon my love…Keep the goals coming

Draw between Dimitar and Corluka
Ooh! I vote for Berba!!! He's broodily delicious and even makes our god-awful sailor suit away kits look good. (He'd look better in the old all-black kit… >:( Grr…) Xisco, though, impressed me with his hotness on Saturday. Good goal despite the Magpies' loss and all of the turmoil up in the Toon. I agree with Kickette, though, about Xisco's prison-ishness with the super-short hair.
LOL TFO I am so not surprised you posted ‘that’ picture. hehehe.
And no, we don’t know why he and the model in the pic are having angry sex on a football game table. And yes, they did actually have sex after the photo shoot. Though it wasn’t angry and it wasn’t on top of the football game table. As far as we know, that is.
i dunno why, but theres something about robinho that i just love
x
Corluka!!! he is sooo cute and hot!! at the same time!!!!! My vote goes to Vedran =D
Berbatov. The Manchester United Ladies are working on ridding Dimi of his
bad hair and his shiny shirts. In the meantime, we are enjoying his
occasional forays into Eastern bloc soft porn:
Corluka!!! he is sooo cute and hot!! at the same time!!!!! My vote goes to Vedran =D
BERBA!
No competition, really! He trains in super short shorts too if you hadn’t noticed. He’s pure sex and don’t we United gals know it!
lose that girl blog
Xisco. I'm a big fan. But Berbatov's eyes are like woah.
I like Berba biting his lip…
robhino is the hottes
Vedran Corluka. That is all.
Oh. And Albert Riera had a STUNNING debut.
Big, strong Spanish guy = pure hotness.
its BERBA hands down and its a tie between ROBINHO/XISCO/CORLUKA theyre all hot in there own way but theres somethin about berba makes him stand out lol
Robinho.
I’m with Nadia above – why no Pavlyuchenko? Hopefully you’re saving him for a post of his own!
My vote for the Bulgarian.
Can’t help it, but the second he left Tottenham he became 10 times better-looking. XD
Where’s Pavyluchenko?!
Albert Reira has a hawt debut imho.
my vote’s tied between berba n robinho pics dont do robinho justice i saw an interview with him and he looked HOT HOT HOT I TELL YOU!!! pics tend to make him look cute but boy he’s got sex appeal trust me and of course berba
those eyes, those thighs (didnt mean to rhyme there lol)
not seen enough pics of xisco and corlukas hot too
Xisco..where have u been all my life???!!! Absolutely gorgeus!!!
Berbatov and those eyes. To swim in.
Berbatov all the way! love his eyes! and his body of course
“Where do they find all of these good-looking men? It’s unreal. All we have (in American football) are Tom Brady and Tiki Barber.“
—my hubby, actively resenting how the camera lingered seemed to linger on Dimi at the start of the Liverpool – Man U game
Speaking of which, what do you all think of Albert Riera, Liverpool’s debutant?
Dimitar Berbatov eyes are to die for. yum.
berba!!!!he is so hottt!!love his eyes yummyyy
It Has To Be Berbatov. What Is There Not To Like? This Is Not Just Because He Is One Of Us Now, But I Honestly Do Think He Is Stunning. Those Eyes, The Hair, The Legs And THAT Tattoo. Just Everything About Him Is Attractive To Me. Robinho Is Cute But He Is Too Greedy For Me. Corluka Is Fine But I Don’t Think He Is That Special With A Mullet. And Xisco I Feel So Sorry For, But I Can’t Give Him The Sympathy Vote Just Because Of The Madness Going On At Newcastle. Berba It Is. <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />
It’s got to be Dimitar. Drooled over him even before he joined United, and now it’s all just gotten even better <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />
I sort of go on and off Berbatov on a weekly basis. Good that he plays for United now and I do like his eyes broody look included. As for Corluka and Xisco I have to have another look. Robinho def not. I cant be doing with all that manic laughter.
Neither is Corluka!
I have to go with Xisco (what is IN the water in Spain???). I have a little soft spot for Newcastle and I feel so bad that they are suffering through so much crap right now. And hair aside, he is quite delish.
Xisco. Only Berbatov is sorta cute in that photo as well. Uhhhm. Wait. Xisco for sure!
LTG, I like *me* biting his lip better.
Ooh Corluka. This picture really doesn't do him justice. I saw him on Sky Sports News this morning being interviewed. Don't ask me what he was saying all I could hear was my heart singing and little bluebirds twittering around my head. He's lush. xx
probably not F5 material but i can do with corluka… he's lush with those eyes & hair! oh and my kid will be getting his 1st name!! =P
can't I just have them all??? If I must choose, then it's… oh no I can't decide between Corluka and Xisco.
From those pictures, I would have to choose Berba. I'm not as keen on him as some of the other United girls (headband, meh) but he does have gorgeous eyes the above pic shows his supreme potential. Plus, I'm a HUGE fan of Eastern Bloc soft porn. ;P
Charlie's eyes are green actually. Light green, huge and sparkly. He has nicer eyes than Kranjcar and that's saying a lot. Of course it's got to be him. Green eyes, black hair and 6'4". And no, he's not a debutant, he was a regular starter at Man City last season. The mullet is only temporary, he looks great with a haircut. <img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/Venetian_Glass/NT/Charlie/1769996210-soccer-uefa-european-cha.jpg" alt="Vedran Corluka" border="0"><img src="http://i21.tinypic.com/mc4q54.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"> daylife.com, russianlook
HMM. Tough one. Has to be between Chorluka and Robinho – Brazilian cuteness or Slavic SEXINESS? Dunno! I think Corluka wins by a point or two – he has a nice first name =D Xisco's not too bad either and Berbatov's eyes speak for themselves… Corluka's eyes beat all though.
Lately I'm super-biased so I'll have to vote for Corluka. His got an eyebrow that lifts
And a sense of humour. But look at Berbatov's eyes. And that picture below Fourth posted 
Does anyone else think that Berba looks a little bit like Daniel Radcliffe?

If Berba hadn't put on that Utd shirt it would have been him. I'm going with Robinho though cause he's cute as a button!
I feel so dirty for lusting over a Spurs player, but it's gotta be Charlie. Robinho's adorable too though!
Got to be Robinho cos as well as looking totally cute in his back to front cap he introduced the new trend of half time shirt swapping at Eastlands – long may it continue!
Of course Corluka!!! I love his eyes.
Has to be Berba because he is ours lol Having said that Corluka is one of those players that I see and think HOT and then I look again and think NOT. Robinho is cute but not hot. Xisco has potential, but none of them are close to being in the F5
Robinho. Don’t actually know why, he is like Deco witht he hamsterish cuteness quality. But he wears base layers. BOO!
none of them! Just Lamps,Lamps,Lamps!
Xisco is definately the hottest. Robinho looks like he cuold be 12, Berbatov has been in the Premier League too long and has a bad rep for being mopey, and Corluka has a mullet…unacceptable.
