Exceot when given the chance, Macarone actually did something.

Where do we think he'll be playing next season? I've a feeling we'll only see him at SJP once........

Ah, yes. FM2007. The source of "factual" information for quite a few people on here. Apaprently if we'd played Chopra and Luque together we'd have won the CL within 2 years.....

All on about a par for me. Not Premiershiop managers, and fucking definately NOT England quality. Its his teeth that get me, as well. Frightening.

Solano is not only our best RB, he's our best fullback. Having not seen the new loanee play, ever, i can only say with any confidence that we only have 2 premiership quality defenders.

Total tripe, mate. 7= Average/not good yet not bad Fixed carr's,was going to give him a 5,my bad 7 is average?? Qhats the top score then, 14???

No, you're right, he's WORSE than some admit.

How much have you seen this boy play then?

leave off shola you fannypack People will, as soon as he's fucked off to a club he should be playing at - i.e. a Championship one. Straight swap for Chopra! Good call. Replacing big tall shite, with little tiny shite.

Ah yes but this is our coaching staff. So you're saying Pearson is over-rated? I didn't know he was rated at all, never mind over-rated. Was he not tipped to take over the U21's? I, like you, have no clue, but others around here seem to think he's a genius. Tipped by who, the Chronicle? The FA clearly went nowhere near him. Nowhere near him in the sense that he's now England's U-21 assistant manager? I would have said that's quite close personally. Is he really?? Fuck me. Not literally. Thats a surprise. And not a particularly good one, to be honest. You think he's a good assistant manager for us? time will tell, but i don't have a lot of faith in anyone Roeder brings in.

Owen Martins Sibierski New Players in that order. Not good enough: Ameobi Not strikers. Ever: Milner, Dire, Duff.

I, like you, have no clue, but others around here seem to think he's a genius. Tipped by who, the Chronicle? The FA clearly went nowhere near him. Some people on here think Luque is world class. You do the math, as the Americans probably don't say as much as i like to think they do.

Scary, but true. Disagree. I think Taylor is a good centre half.

so 2 decent strikers. Thats brilliant. If we are relying on Ameobi in the first team, we are totally fucked. If Roeder seriously thinks Ameobiis good enough, he's a bigger fool than i thought.

No crosses from the right, then.

What class do you think Martins is in, exactly?

Jet-lagged

I've seeen him for the US a couple of times but that's it. And you'd love it to be true? I remember seeing Marcelino once in Europe. He looked ace. And we've all seen the "Luque is world class" showreel. I just worry about this sort of thing. We've been burnt too often before, and i have zero faith in Roeders ability.

you WANT him to play for us?? Better than a few of our other defenders. Doubtful, i reckon. He's maybe as good a defender as Ramage, and about as consistent. But slower.

Does anyone actually KNOW how good this fella is, or are we all going of FM2007 and sketchy internet reports?

you WANT him to play for us??

He got a premiership recored tbh.. I wouldve kept him with us,at least he is better then Ameobi and Rossi.. Any c**t woudl be better than that pile of shite Ameobi. And Rossi? He'll be a good player in a few years. Us getting him when we did, then not using him properly, just highlighted what an idiot Roeder is. Can't agree more.. chopra is not and will never be a prtemiership quality forward. Huh? Neither of them were saying he was. if he's not a prem player why was roeder an idiot for letting him go You didn't really read that one through, did you.

He's one of many players we could have got who are in the "better than Ameobi, but still not really good enough beyond a season or so" bracket.
