Good Shit Players/ Shit Good Players

[DT]

Phil Babb is another. Looked good at the World Cup and at Coventry.

 

Don't tell anyone but I was happy when we signed him.

 

But then I haven't been wrong about anything since....

[King Emlyn]

Whats Le Tissier classed as?

A magnificent player

[WaltonRed]

Simon Donnelly, ex-Celtic.

[Street Preacher]

Andy Booth,ex Huddersfield player I think.

 

Kevin Gallen who played for QPR.

[Ted]

Jon Dahl Tommasson.

 

Lampard.

[Red_Jim83]

Emile Heskey would have to fit the bill too!

[Xabi D]

We have quite a few in our squad - Voronin, Kuyt, Pennant, Kewell, Crouch

Understatement! Babb looked brilliant at the World Cup in '94, was well chuffed when we got him. Little did I know...

 

In fact that could well be another topic - players that looked great in an international tournament, but were actually shit.

 

Poborsky, Diouf, must be quite a few...

 

I remember seeing an interview with Pele where he was asked his favourite player at the tournament (not sure which one, Japan?)

 

To which he replied, nodding enthusiastically -

 

'I like Butt....' Cueing much double entendre merriment from Mr Lineker!

[jp carroll]

what about Francis Benali from Southampton. Think he was a regular in their team for about 14 years in top league. you never really noticed him but knew he was always there. Think he fits the bill or maybe i have mis interprated te whole thing!!

Dion Dublin

My claim to fame - I saw Dion in the bar at a Selecter gig at the Junction in Cambridge in about 1992. He then went on to save Michael Owen's life during an England match and take the piss out of the Mancs, by making them the only club he was ever truly shite for. You've gotta love 'im!

The reason Babb looked so good in the world cup was because Paul McGrath was SO good, all Babb had to do was stand there.

Rafa loves his good shit players he would have signed Izzet if he was around now.

 

Oh fucking do one Rash. Why dont you just break into his Melwood office and tell him what you think of him instead of using almost every thread (even those that are nothing to do with Rafa) to keep repeating yourself.

[Stouffer]

Benny McCarthy is the best good shit player at he mo'.

[Red Mist]

Ryan Babel

[RedinSweden]

Maaaaaaarlon

[delboythekopite]

JOHN ARNE RIISE.JUST SHIT!!!! (6)

[Remmie]

I don't think people are getting it really. It's not just a list of shit players.

 

Anyway I think it's harder to think of a shit classy player then a great shit player. Maybe Pedersen at Blackburn or Arteta at Everton.

[PaulMcC]

Jason Koumas

[dirty_sanchez]

Did someone say Georgi Kinkladze?

 

Madness.

 

[johnb]

Anyone remember the time we were heavily linked with Eoin Jess from Aberdeen (I think he played for them at the time)? It must have been 1993-4 or thereabouts.

 

I do. Strangely pronounced 'Ian'.

[Anny Road]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

[Stouffer]

Eoin Jess, always used to sign him on Super League on the speccy.

 

Pure class.

[Faustus]

Jason Koumas

 

That's a great shout.
