The College Dropout

Most are failed glory hunters - let's be honest. Most from the KK era but some from the SBR era. That's what success brings. Ashleys done some major damage to the NUFC brand.

Aye, most of them will be lving in the UK. This way they can all be together.

Aye Fletcher's class.

Suarez embarassed him the last timt they met-up IIRC

It's THAT f***ing boring. Would be happy with it though be a huge upgrade on Taylor IMO. And he's a unit, which people seem to he crying out for Huge upgrade on Taylor? He's first and foremost a RB who's got similar weaknesses to Taylor at CB in addition to being small. Agree that's he's not really a CB and if he is.. he has huge weaknesses similar to Taylor. However he has a tremendous leap does Richards.

This is wrong, very wrong.

Aye, don't Madrid view their youth set-up as something they do to provide players for the rest of the league/divisions and the signings end up paying for the whole thing anyway. When you consider all the good but not world class players they've had come through the system it starts to make sense.

League 2? He should be aiming way higher than that. Would be a complete waste of time for him. It's better than the reserves or sitting on the bench at Birmingham. I'm confused here, are we talking about Bigi or Campbell. Campbell Could/should go to league 2, Bigi definitely no lower than Championship at all I actually meant League 1 in my first post. Even still - competitive professional football is better than playing for the reserves. For who Bigi? Like below the level he was playing at when we signed him? Don't think it's worth while myself League 1 or reserves? It's a no-brainer. Jermain Defoe went to a side in League 1 when he was 18/19. Was obviously too good for that division, scored better than 1 in 2 but he came back with his stock super high. I also believe Caulker spent a season in League 1, then Championship then a PL loan. It's important to play man. Bigi was only starting in a team that got relegated anyway. One of Macheda's problems is that he's been loaned to teams that are a bit too big for him. Now at Donny before his injuries, he's showed he's a class act.

Will they? Ity's looking like Oscar will have to fire them to the title at this rate. Which won't happen.

Same thing is happening with Tiote. He's just shit at everything and he's not much better than Anita at the things he's good at so he should just sit it out.

NO Logic: Taylor's not even good in the air. MYM's only slightly shorter he's not much worse. Reality: MYM doesn't even mark opponents aerial threats. NO Logic: Steven Taylor makes blocks and last ditch tackles to make up for previous mistakes in positioning. MYM has a better footballing brain. Reality: MYM often uses his pace to make up for his poor positional play. And if not that, he'll run away from trouble/physical duels.

A lot of people on this forum talk like Taylor is crap at everything, even the things he's decent at. And say some shit like MYM not being much worse in that regard anyway so he should start. Load of bollocks. Reminiscent of the Cisse excuses at the start of last season.

Did MYM play LB against City? He was hopeless. Think it's RB if he's not to play at CB.

Agree with this he's handy in the air for his position. For some reason teams target him aerially too..

Gael played well for a Championship side (that got relegated aye) but i'm sure he could start for some decent league 2 sides.

This myth that Tiote was poor in the second half of the 5th season is annoying. He had more good games than bad just like 90% of the team.

Santon has promise. But he hasn't been any better than Ryan Taylor defensively. At least Taylor would be in position to get raped, Santon isn't even there.

MYM's positioning is pretty bad. He's often using his pace to make up for mistakes in positioning. Doubt Pardew will make any changes in defence anyway. This isn't the game to put MYM back in. It could bury him.

Carrick agreed. Surprised Capello preferred Barry over him.

I was fortunate to miss the L'pool massacre. Saw the scoreline, forgot about it and continued with my holiday. No such luck this time.

Aye, it comes with the territory as well. The general media concensus seems to be If you're English and good enough to play for Man U/ManC/Chelsea/Arsenal and to a lesser extent Liverpool and Spurs, then you're good enough to play for England. On paper it makes sense, but not always in practice. Gareth Barry and Tom Cleverley being the examples I would use as players that are not good enough for either their teams, or their countries. The alternatives are no better. After them who is there? Osman? Barry's been a better player than Osman.

Davide Santon and the French Danny Simpson are shite going forward like. Won't here me arguing. They play so far forward but rarely contribute anything. Them being so high up must stretch teams at the very least.

John Terry had been a brilliant defender for a decade tbh. Under rated in some parts for his unfashionable style. Also a brilliant leader in his day.
