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'?

..he refused to play Rubbish, he played for the reserves.

such s****. just give up man. Once again, you can't explain why.

Horrific attitude? For an entire season he wasn't even acknowledged by his manager. His attiutde last season was spot on, even if he looked a poor player.

Yes, and he did. The same amount that Ranger does. One's lazy and the other's a workhorse, ask yourself why?

Scott Parker? WTF are you on about now... all you had to do was see Xisco play and see Ranger play to see that Nile puts in much more effort than Xisco ever did. Parker was not and never was a lazy player. I don't think you've quite grasped the concept of a striker putting in effort. ie Intelligent, disciplined running. Too funny, Xisco did non of that anyway .. are you ever going to make an intelligent post?? I never said he did.

Be honest, if his name wasn't Nile Ranger and he wasn't 18 you'd not appreciate those contributions.

Wait for it.

Where does it say he refused to train?

Scott Parker?

Xisco does not put in anywhere near the same shift as ranger. Back that up somehow.

Refused to train? More made up nonsense. All the Deportivo fans said the same about him, grafter, runs his bollocks off for the team. But he comes here and becomes lazy because he's an expensive striker who didn't look like scoring. I see Ranger's promise, I also see a player who never looks like scoring despite being a striker.
