Ronaldo

I've never come across anybody with worse judgement on strikers. His senior career started about 12 years ago. 6 years into that career the team about to win the premiership paid £25m to sign him. Explain to me how that equates to him being 'wank for the majority of his pro career'.

If you read up on his career, even for 2 minutes, which isnt the hardest thing to do with the powers of the internet .. it would all say the same.. Drogba was w*** for the majority of his pro career. Words fail me. This comment arrives in a conversation in arguement about Andy Carroll btw from a bloke with a Michael Owen avatar. Take away the last 5 years and his career was amazing was it? At 21 he wasnt even getting regular football at Le Mans. 5 years? 5 1/2 years ago Mourinho paid £25m for him. I dread to think how bad he must have been in the years preceding that.

I only wish I could reciprocate the originality of Blef's last 2 posts.

You saw him at 21 then.

So what?

Bags of potential? Not many strikers with bags of potential can't shoot or control a football at 21.

Shame he can't do it in the championship against all those great defenders.

because you have seen him in a team trying to play football? Seen the ball played to his feet a fair bit, same thing seems to happen 19 times out of 20.

Don't think England Under 21's are a long ball team and Carroll has fitted in well with them, been excellent, scored goals and had good reviews from the likes of Pearce. but then you know best ;-) He's got 2 goals for them, lets not pretend it means more than it does.

Serious question: I know you have your reservations about Carroll. But what did you think of both his goals against WBA in the cup? Both good goals, shame it seems to happen very, very rarely.

Right, but Carroll was in that team. There's no way he'd fit into any team trying to play football.

Long ball with those players? Well since these players would be better at playing it on the deck it's hardly relevant. Erm, that's why it's relevant.

Long ball with those players?

That striker being, of course, Carroll.

I'd personally drop Hughton off in the north sea and carry Avram up the A1 for him to be our next manager.

I'd prefer Routledge and Moses either side of the striker. But now i'm just being greedy.

Babashafto from here.

Nobody is.

Don't blame him, he's far too good for that ridiculous club, hope they cease to exist.

Jonas is far too inconsistent with his passing to be played through the middle, it's something i've considered in the distant past but is overall a pretty bad idea.

Are you having a laugh?

Nothing hopefully. Fitz hall is one of the worst defenders i've ever seen in the top two divisons.

yep.. I haven't seen a lot of him but he seems a carbon copy of Alan Smith now. Static, drops deep and passes the ball backwards all the time and of course the bleached f***ing hair.. He's nothing like Smith, but he's an average player at best these days and wont get many goals.

Our new winger from 11th placed QPR has as many goals as Carroll this season.
