Ronaldo

Bridge was on Chelsea's bench for 3 years, essentially. Ruined him, because he was absolutely brilliant at Southampton and then for Ranieri. His appearances for Chelsea at the start of 06-07 with Cole out were also pretty damn good, going forward and defending.

Love to see Dunne score the winner. (and Given's face)

Racist.

Perhaps it was before Le Mans then, but he definetly started as a RB.

We've been through this before like, Drogba started off as a defender and eventually became a striker at Le Mans, essentially playing catch-up until the age of 25 or so.

Blackburn are on borrowed time and have been for a few years.

You really are pathetic Dave. It's a miracle you haven't been turned into a wolly jumper yet.

Why on earth would he go to either one of those?

Lets just hope he doesn't do his 'improving' in our squad next season.

This would be the same Nolan who has 9 goals to Carroll's 4?

Referring only to strikers? No indication of that in the post.

Christ on a yacht.

That statement is about as true as this one: You aren't the only one (clearly) but the hype over these two is ridiculous.

Listened to Alan Hansen recently?

What's your point?

I'm not saying Xisco's better or worse. I just can't understand this ridiculous hype for Ranger (and his effort levels) when Xisco was called lazy and shite.

Was a performance to be remembered too. Indeed, I remember how s*** he was And somehow manage to forget how s*** Ranger was in the first half against Leicester, or away at Peterbrough, or in a fair few of his sub apperances. Was brilliant the whole game against Leicester if I remember correctly. Most of his sub appearances have been under 20 minutes or so. He has had more time recently to be fair but he's still looked dangerous to me. He was poor in the first half.

His attitude last season was brilliant, and I bet I could easily dig up a fair few examples of other posters alluding to this. Did you monitor Xisco's running? He never stopped against Hull or West Ham. Certainly ran lots in his 2 sub appearances this season.

Skirge man you don't even know what you're fucking arguing.

..he refused to play Rubbish, he played for the reserves. Have you all been dropped on your heads or what?

He did, he played against Reading and Sheff Wed then got loaned out.

..he refused to play Rubbish, he played for the reserves. cant you read? http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Newcastle-flop-Xisco-deliberately-stopped-playing-to-force-move-away-from-club-article146485.html FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON Does that not suggest to you that I was referring to last season.

You're going to argue for one second that Ranger has earned his status as a player 'who should start alongside Carroll'?
