You expect 20+ from Martins in that team?

not really. his overall play has to be considered, especially as he's not a natural goalscorer. what he lacks in goalscoring ability he should make up for in team-play, playing ability and work-rate. none of the last three are existent. You said 34 goals was s****. Then I asked how many he'd have to score for you to consider him good and you said '40+' make your mind up they could be 6 penalties.it was a pretty s**** question in all honesty. i would accept the useless fuckwit if he did have those three assets i mentioned in my previous quote. well than I ask you again, how many goals per season would he have to score to justify his selection?

What are we asking from Martins? That he score 1 in 2? Something that without penalites not even Shearer got anywhere near 6 goals the difference between shite and good apparently. I'm not saying 34 goals is owt to be proud of like

says it all

So you reckon Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough would have turned a blind eye to a player calling them a prick and s**** manager do you? to be fair, we have no evidence of that whatsoever

and how many would he have to score before you'd call him a good striker?

it's actually 34 goals. Better than 1 in 3 which isn't quite a shit return imo

your views on Xisco, Martins and basically everything are beyond ridiculous. You beg for the response you've recieved

I watched us get beat by both Arsenal and Hull at the start of the season in Nevada Smiths, not much of an atmosphere

I'm glad Spurs are no longer being linked with Van Nistelrooj. Would sicken me to see a player of that class and calibre join those cunts

The whole Shearer - Barton argument is a sympton of the 'what type of manager will Shearer be' debate, with most thinking he'll more closely resemble Sounes than Robson. Honestly, I really do worry if Shearer views Greame Souness as any sort of person to look up to in a management context

Saying something controversial requires a small amount of intelligence, otherwise it's just fishing and piss-taking.

He's a pretty poor defender and an absolutely woeful natural footballer, get rid

Liverpool spending £20m on a RB? I'd love to know how much of their budget that is considering their need for other players, ie a kingpin CB and an adequate striker to partner Torres

Wshmag making friends again

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money

Wasn't Freddy in the process of writing a book?

I think the 'asked 3 times' story is probably bullshit but I agree your last statement, certainly

Kanji and Cubaricho, is this your famous southern hospitality? Aye, why the hell not lads

Oh but what will you say? ps, let me know if you want to grab a pint when you're in town. will do sir, chances are there'll be a couple of days when the girlfriend will be content with the pool and i'll be forced to embark on a solo pub crawl in downtown Orlando. As for Alan, i'll probably put him through a window and lose my chance of emigrating

Is that 3 different forum members who've seen Alan Smith in Orlando now? I'm off there next month and sincerely hope i'm the fourth

He's still under contract to us. After June he can talk to whoever he likes, without violating the terms of his existing contract

You mean the worlds best striker in a team that is ALOT more attacking then Houlliers ever was. When Owen used to play for Liverpool they would shut up shop when they get 1-0 in front, and he got 18 or 19 in many seasons, not bad for someone who always picks up injuries too. Rubbish comparison Except it wasn't me doing the comparing, was it now

Selling an 8-12 goal a season Premiership striker for £7m, and replacing him with a 20-25 goal a season Championship striker for less than half of that isn't the worst idea in the world tbh. How many 20-25 goal a season Championship strikers have even managed to get 8-12 goals a season in the Premiership? aye Scotland is 30 aswell, i'd rather our entire strikeforce wasn't made up of stop-gap players
