Alan Greene 5 live/Newstalk

[Stormbringer]

Had to listen to the game on radio the other night.

 

Alan Greene just kept saying 'what is Nunez? I can't work it out! Can anyone tell me?'

 

Jim Beglin had no answer!

 

Then the classic 'Madrid have sold Liverpool a steward, they should give him a luminous jacket then he'd have somethiung he could do!'

 

 

On the basis of his contributions so far, comment on here and the commentary last night this was a class comment imo.

 

:lol:

[Brownie]

I've no idea what he is either - he's not very fast and his crossing is a bit poo. Not the best credential for a winger really.

 

Ill give him a bit more time though.

[Hermes]

You were warned in August. Where are all those who slated me for saying it back then.

Benitez describing Nunez's qualities when he signed "He's very quick and gets good crosses in".

[Brownie]

Been diggin through the archives again eh

[Stu Monty]

Hermes just because you may be proven right does not justify writing him off before you had seen him.

[Tom R]

You were still out of order for saying back then. Doesn't matter if he's turned out (so far) to be a bit poo and wee, you shouldn't have judged him befiore you'd ever even seen him play one game.

 

You can't gloat just because a pure guess full of prejudice that you made paid off ffs. That's Duncan Oldham territory.

 

Congratulations though.

I also remember a certain Hermes claiming that we would be signing Vicente in August... ;)

[Hermes]

My opinion was based on these facts:

 

He joined Real Madrid from a 3rd Division Club in Spain when he was 23

 

Question: If he was any good why didn't somebody spot him before this.

 

After joining Real he played 10 games in 3 seasons

 

Question : Why didn't he play more, after the Galactico's Real are famous for having a threadbare squad

 

I stuck my neck out on the basis that if you are any good it shows before you reach the age of 26.

[Stu Monty]

Ian Wright Wright Wright, Ian Wright Wright Wright.

 

I see what you are saying but it was still worth giving him a bloody chance?

[Hermes]

Ian Wright Wright Wright, Ian Wright Wright Wright.

 

By the time Ian Wright was 26 he had played 163 league games and scored 63 goals. You'll have to think of someone else. ;>)

 

 

"I see what you are saying but it was still worth giving him a bloody chance?"

 

Well, if I was manager I'd have saved us some money.

[Brownie]

To be fair to Rafa he may not have had much choice in the matter - I mean thats what Real offered and we weren't in a position to reject the bid so maybe we had to just grin and bear it.

 

That might not be the case but its worth entertaining the idea.

Rafa claims he was interested in signing him anyway, regardless of the Owen deal.

[Brownie]

Yeah I saw that but I just thought that he said that to maybe give him a boost of confidence i.e. we were going to buy you anyway so dont come here thinking you were a make-weight in the deal.

 

Only Rafa knows the answer to that.

We're queuing outside Humble Pies R Us waiting for them to open...........

[Hermes]

There will be plenty in the queue when Josemi proves his worth.

[Paul]

There will be plenty in the queue when Josemi proves his worth.

Tell me, specifically, what you see in Josemi, please.

[Anubis]

His willy..... :smile:

 

sorry Hermes, obvious but had to take the opening!

[Barrington Womble]

i actually think his crosses have been pretty good to date. i must be on my own with that one.

[BootleRed]

Alan Green is a tit anyway so just ignore his drivel where possible. Allegedly he is a Liverpool Fan so he tends to try and over-compensate for this by slagging us off at every opportunity in order to appear NEUTRAL. KNOB :telloff:

[Total Longo]

Don't mind Green. Would much rather have somebody say "nothing to recommend about this drivel, this game is woeful" etc than the sycophantic over excited Sky brigade trying to keep you interested in a dour 0-0 "keep watching folks this game is about to spark into life" or other such cack.

Green is a season ticket holder. Saw him in the upper anny a few times. Not that that means he is not a tit, as thousands prove that every week.

 

Anyway, can you tell me where you got your avatar from, or email it to aidangannon@eircom.net if you get a chance, please? Ta.

Cheers to that, js. Yesterday he made one good cross into the box. There's a sign!

[Hermes]

I've stated before that he is struggling because he is not used to his direct opponent, coming from another country. The full back position is the most difficult to adjust to when moving country, because you have a relatively unknown opponent against you every week.

 

For example, facing players with the styles Beckham/Duff/Gronkjaer. Three totally different players, but all wide midfielders. The first will never beat you but always makes space for the cross, the second will always try to go passed you with skill, the third will push it passed you and use his pace.

 

Central defenders do not have this problem as they are supported by the other central defender and the defensive midfielder.

 

Josemi does not know what he faces each week. When he is used to the opponents (next season), he will become the regular right-back. Come back and discuss this next Christmas, when I'll be happy to hear you agree with me. ;>)

I don't wanna start another slanging match but I totally disagree. If it was just the same type of calibre players that you mentioned who Josemi was getting ripped to shreds by then i'd tend to agree. However he's been totally dominated by the likes of Pedersen, Kolkka, Emerton, Kilbane et al

 

If he can't deal with them then he has problems.
