Ronaldo

Don't think he was ever accused of a lack of effort from anyone inside the club, like.

You're over-analysing that, man. Sir Alex put him on because he wanted a goal, and Owen was the only 'striker' on the bench.

By Krul? Harsh.

That isn't the 'alternative' though.

Gameiro, Best, Elmander and Shola will do me.

I think you're confusing what other teams fans might think with what other teams managers might think. Aye. David Pleat talks about him as if he's an amalgamation of Nesta and Maldini. True footballing people will see the quality there.

He was too busy laughing at Chopra's miss to self-heal.

Stay (through gritted teeth) Stay Drop (off a high cliff) Loan

he wont, he's a slightly better than average championship striker who's had a decent run. He's had several games in which he's been in the right place at the right time. You can't teach that. I couldn't care less about his Championship record, we've seen in the last year just how much a striker can improve when their positional judgement appears to 'click'. Writing him off at this point is ridiculous - and typical recent Madras. But he's right in that Shola gets criticised too readily as a donkey, when in fact his first touch is pretty good. He's far better with the ball at his feet than most are willing to give credit for. He can be. It's the clumsy nature in which he uses his body that i'm referring to though.

Still got to go back to 2006 for the last time he missed a top flight game through injury.

Give over.

He'll never get the plaudits he deserves because a lot of his good is subtle. Reads the game superbly and always wants the ball.

Best has demonstrated a instinct to get goals at this level; he's 24 and will get better and better. Shola's a one-paced, non-scoring donkey who's almost 30.

if only we'd known, we could've chased the prick out of town earlier. I tried. Everyone else said we 'had' to play him.

arguably his best game of the season Arsenal away. No chance, he was decent that day but the others were better.

Aye. Doesn't score or create. Just scratches around like a little dog.

Aye. Surely not even up for debate.

Any money on it this time? Had the draw on an accumulator with Arsenal to draw, Chelsea and Barca.

Give over, man.

Hope to see Ireland start. Should win this.

Best he's played for us in over a year.

Top class.

Jonas can consider himself lucky. Shocking bunch of ratings.
