Ronaldo

a full-back? Are they having a laugh, he's as much a full-back as Michael Owen is a dominant centre-half

Cissokho would murder Johnson in a race, his physicality e.g. strength and pace are his biggest plus, and why he's good he's like Richards he has great recovery pace. Johnson is also strong and quick, you just don't like the bloke tbh

With West Brom and Boro being so bad and losing some of their big players, i'd sas yes, providing Butt and Nolan are kept away from the midfield.

Milan offered £14m for Aly Cissokho, which makes the money for Johnson seem slightly better spent

it was March 2006 when Moore returned to action Viduka and Moore has their places in the Aussie squad sewn up long before then to be honest

I'm sure Shearer's initial list of players is in the bin now

He's a good player when fit but no longer has anything like the mobility required to be a genuine goal threat still has enough (when completely fit) to be a good target man. Doubt many of the top 10 sides will want him though

cool, had no idea the post involved Zirkhov

eh?

Dont' let Dresden hear you saying that he has 'no left foot' because of injuries apparently

When Shearer was better than Bellamy ie up until 2003, he COULD make something happen out of nothing. Look at all those fantastic long range efforts and half chances taken

Inclined to agree

Kinnear or Hughton?

I was born there, but both my parents being geordies we eventually moved here in 1988 You pretty young when you moved then? aye, just 2. Did you stay there long?

Daglish working for Liverpool again. Anyone else noticed that he hasn't aged whatsoever in 11 years?

He was s**** in all of the above tournaments genius you say that like every player was great except owen. most players let us down in those tournaments, thats why we didnt get very far in them. 'most' is over the top.

how the f*** did you guess?

I think we all know what 5 goals in 16 games represents for our main goalscorer

He was shite in all of the above tournaments genius

he's almost 31

The same Owen who let us down in 2000, 2002, 2004 and to a lesser extent in 2006 could help us win the world cup? He wont even be there, and rightfully so.

Is there anyone besides Dreseden who doesn't believe we would have avoided relegation had Owen been at a different club from Jan onwards?
