Totally wrong about a player ?

[Faustus]

Torres. I thought we'd have been better off signing Darren Bent.

 

I also remember I said that "Gerrard will have a hard job getting back in the side now we've got this Diao fella" when a dip in form coincided with the three good games Salif ever had at the start of his Liverpool career.

[Glen C]

I thought bergkamp was going to be shit at arsenal. He totally flopped in Italy and thought he'd be a waste of money. For 18 months i was proved right while bruce rioch was there, and then wenger came to arsenal....*sigh*

[Thants]

.

EDIT: Fuck it

[Tom R]

Fair point. Half the people on here berated us for not going for him last season. He's finished.

 

is he bollocks.

 

He's a cunt of massive proportions, granted, but he can still put the ball in the net.

He just doesn't fit with how man u are set up this season with one man up top on his own, and their man is Rooney and he's never gonna oust him as long as they play that way.

 

Just cos he isn't getting games for them, doesn't mean he's finished. When he's played he's scored. He scored a CL hat trick on his last start for them.

 

hardly the actions of a finished striker.

 

Don't let the fact that he's a massive cunt cloud your judgement of him as a player. He's still an outstanding finisher, but that's not enough to get him games with the way Man u play.

[Antynwa]

Cheyrou after that truly 'Once in a lifetime' performance v Lazio.

 

Oh and Torres.

[johnnyboy]

wasnt overly excited about Babel or Keane....or Torres

[The Golden Eel]

Krygiakos I suppose and I was not a fan of Reina in his first season. Thought he was shite. Now he's a bona fide legend. I also wanted Tevez rather than Torres at that time...

[Brownie]

Hyypia.

Gonzalez.

Kewell.

 

Loads, really! The moral of the story for me is to judge the player once you've seen him enough times to make a reasoned judgement.

[Trumo]

I had doubts about us signing Luis Garcia since £6m was a fair wedge for us to be spending on a player who was bit-part at most of his previous clubs. More so when he was going to be given the No10 shirt. He proved to be very inconsistent and often frustrating, but he scored important goals, worked hard, and won the fans over. Look at the fan letter he wrote after leaving, and the ovation he got as a sub for Atletico.

[J-V]

Crouch. He was fucking superb.

 

This

[TopMod]

John Wark- didn't think he was a Liverpool player, didn't like the look of him but he scored loads from midfield.

 

David Speedie-thought he'd be shit but I thought he did fine while he was here.

 

Mark Kennedy-thought he'd be good.

 

Sami Hyppia- never heard of him and was present at his debut, he was crap that day but has since become a proper legend.

 

Jari Litmanen- really thought he'd be our Cantona, never worked out but not all his fault.

 

Gary McAllister- liked him but still thought he was past it for us.

 

Josemi- Balliague said at the time he was the best full back in Spain, I believed him, what a dick, one of the worst players I've ever seen in a red shirt.

 

Peter Crouch- couldn't believe we signed him but I still realy miss him.

 

Ryan Babel- thought he'd be fantastic, dutch under 21 star etc, totally shit.

 

Aquilani?????- Jury still out.

[Markmywords]

Bruno Cheyrou - I'm still living that one down.

[Guest TK-421]

Scott Carson

Gonzalez (credit to ATK, who said he'd be shit and was right)

Morientes

Le Gems

 

I thought all of these players would do a lot better.

 

On Diouf, I knew he would be shit. It didn't make sense on any level. I had a massive argument with a mate when we signed him, and I was totally correct.

[Paco]

people keep teling me i'm wrong about ibrahimovic. I think he's shit.

 

For us I may be proved wrong about Ngog or I may not be

[Dracco]

Benayoun, I thought he is average and not good enough for us but he proved me wrong.

 

Maybe Kyrgiakos, but it is still early to judge him. He has a massive mistake in him and if it happens in 2 consecutive games I can imagine some guys turn at him.

 

And negative? there is more of them like Diouf, Cisse, Babel, Vignal and many more

[Dracco]

people keep teling me i'm wrong about ibrahimovic. I think he's shit.

 

For us I may be proved wrong about Ngog or I may not be

 

Ibra is shit. He is not totally shit but he is most overrated player on earth. I would choose Torres or Rooney anyway of the week instead of him.

[Dracco]

Once I thought Seaman is the best keeper in the world

[Code]

I also thought that Hugo Viana and Roberto Acuna were going to be good for Newcastle.

 

Me too, I rememeber the first game I watched both him and Quaresma play for Sporting against Milan, thought they looked ace, especially Viana.

[tenner]

Fernando Morientes taught he would score a hatful of goals.

[aws]

I thought Terry was a good, honest professional.

[Torvald Utne]

Fernando Morientes taught he would score a hatful of goals.

 

oh come on!

[Wor Horse]

Don't really understand that 'there's a mistake in him' shout about Kyrigiakos. It's like tempting fate.

[Torvald Utne]

Michael Owen

2 in 16 league games

7 in 27 total

 

David N'Gog

4 in 14

6 in 21 total

 

N'Gog has outscored him playing for a team that has been creating maybe 1 decent chance per game.

 

He is a massive cunt and he is shit.

[Stu Monty]

Stu Monty, first time I played with him he was electric, work rate was un parallel, finishing, strong in the tackle, he had everything.Turned out it was just a massive fluke performance, turned up next week and played like what can only be described as a cabbage in Dortmund socks, terrible business it was, bad sportsman to boot.

 

This is quite clearly false. Zeek is just trying to goad me into coming back to footy. I know you miss me, it hurts me too, Al.

 

is he bollocks.

Pretty sure he started against Fulham and was absolutely turgid, that was more recent wasn't it?

 

I agree that he's finished at the very top level. He just hasn't got enough components to his game to be a top player any more. The real top class not only get goals but go past people, hold the ball up, score from range and have a great touch. Owen just has great movement and finishing now, that's it, nothing else. If a team sets up around him then he'd still score goals, when he was fit.

 

He's still never scored 20 league goals and never will. No good having a player you'll only ever get 60% of a season out of.

[Trucker Paddy]

Collymore, thought we'd signed a player who would win us the league on his own he was that good.
