I heard he's changed his name to DARVID LE RAVE-ON! ;)

Does this mean Carl Medjani is proving to be yet another dud then?

I think Hughie McAuley was singing his praises the other week about the rate with which Medjani is developing.

It's high time some of these young lads from the acedemy where brought down to Melwood. These lads are our future and lets hope David is joined by many more young lads coming through the Ranks. :yes:

 

Hope this spells the end for the Diao's and the Traore's of this world.

[Stu Monty]

We should definitely be having the likes of Welsh and Mellor filling the squad rather than Diao and Traore.

 

Thing with Diao is, i don't dislike him, he always puts everything he's got into it (take note you white boot wearing fraud) and is willing to play anywhere he is put. I also think that when we try and sell him and he says he wants to stay he has every right to. He signed a contract to play for us and then moved over here, we can't expect him to up sticks and piss of wherever we tell him to go....it's just not going to happen.

 

Traore is just plain terrible. He should never play for us again. Simple as.

The African Nations Cup

 

Can it go on till the end of the season please

[Big Noel]

Agree Stu. I like Diao as a person and a professional cos he'll give it 100%. We just didn't need a player like him in summer '02.

I agree Stu. Traore hasn't lived up to the initial promise when we signed him. He seems to be devoid of composure and confidence (prequisites of a top class centre half) and you can guarantee at least one BIG mistake per game.

 

Similar thoughts on Diao. When I first saw him player I thought he'd be extremely effective for us (similar to big Ivor), but alas he seems to have gone backwards.

 

Spot on about Heskey - if he had just 1% of St. Michael's bottle he'd be awesome. Unfortunately he is a coward of a footballer who consistently punches well below his weight. I think Dave once said if he had 10% of Duncan Disorderly's aggression then he'd be a Liverpool great. Nowadays we'd all be happy if he had just 1%!

[Guest Harrower Jnr.]

total agree with some of the points here.

 

Its high time the youth players were given their chance to shine.

They cant do any worse than some of the duds in the team right now.

Re: David Raven.

 

Out of curiosity can Dave U or anyone else tell me how tall he is and does he have any pace?

Quick enough, without being lightning. He's no Otsemobor but then he's quicker than Steph. As for his height, he's probably a bit small to play centre half at first team level at the moment. He can do it in his age group no worries, but you wouldn't want him marking a John Hartson or someone.

 

His reading of the game is very good though, so he's rarely done for pace. When he makes the breakthrough it will more than likely be at right back, and a move to centre half mightn't happen until he's older.

Thanks for the info Dave.
