Ronaldo

the idiot from the Sun that called Carragher 'the best defender in europe' after 'Pool beat Barca earlier this year he's never been good enough for international football. Rugged, agressive, all-action defending can only get you so far

if Allardyce doesn't want to play 4-4-2 but DOES want to play both Viduka and Owen, Raul would be an ideal signing Milner Barton Emre Raul Viduka Owen could see somthing along those lines

I cant actually see the article. What's the question? Oh and maybe i went a bit to far on the crossing ability but i definatly feel he was better then Shearer on the other two points. As Ronaldo has said, if his positional sense and movement was as good as Shearer's then why has he only managed a dozen goals in the Premiership? Surely if his movement was that good he'd be finding plenty of space in the box? hmmm is that some sort of trick question?. Maybe because his finishing isnt as good as Shearers? His finishing must be awful if he's got better movement and positioning than someone who scored 30+ in the league 3 seasons running but can only manage 12 himself. indeed

come on, if he had the movement and posiitonal sense of Shearer in his prime he'd be scoring 30+ a season

welcome to the forum, keep the posts coming. US players will obviously have the benfit of terrific conditioning facilities so I expect to see a few more making an impact in the premiership in the next few years

it will, but at the same time it we wont have to rely on it journeyman weren't the target for most of Shepherd's reign and the same applies for Ashley......... i hope

indeed mate, indeed. Can't think of any techincally better english right-wingers

let's hope so

Onyewu = pile of s**** but yeah, I see your point. Just seemed funny during wc06, game vs Italy, every name mentioned from both sides seemes to be italian. Got to say, spent a lot of time in the US and without the italians the food over there would be worse than over here

is it just me or are all of their good players italian-american?

to be honest, Queudreu shagged Mark Schwartzer's missus, so I give him credit for that he's better than Ramage, Carr, Baba, Huntington, Edgar, Taylor etc at LB so i'd be happy to have him as back-up

<snigger> with the exception of clubs managed by Glenn 'every issue of four four two' Roeder 2 months ago people were suggesting we get Fowler

you've never been to Spurs, have you? too right I have, but only outside upton park can you buy 'ready to eat' chicken that hasn't been near a grill, then encounter fans wearing pink scarfs who point at you and shout 'Michael c****** Owen' wankers

how many strikers do West Ham need? never hated a rival club so much in my life

are you some sort of idiot, we have Stephen Carr Oh, sorry, forgot about him. Hang on...... He's a right back. We have no real right back who isn't a thick fat irish t***, so "yes". Not a difficult choice in fairness. hahahaha indeed, fucking despise the guy

are you some sort of idiot, we have Stephen Carr

to be honest, which club with anything about them is going to let their transfer budget be influenced by SSN?

give it 2 years, he's going to be a great player a la Ljungberg he doesn't have a lot of pace, so what, his crossing is only going to get better. Who was talking about Beckham in 96? the answer is very few

seems i have it in the bag so far

it's wrong to call Van Nistelrooy a limited player. The guy's ball control and link-up play is first class

in - THE Ronaldo Given Richards Ferdinand Woodgate Baines Ronaldo Barton Essien Bentley Drogba Owen Kirkland, Bramble, Dempsey, Forsell beat that

his general play compensates for any deficency in goalscoring btw, Cantona and Bergkamp also shite? not making any comparison before you start

ok, i'm wrong I hate Berbatov with a passion but without him Spurs would have finished below us, he was amazing last season

Allardyce probably said that for Baba's benfit in order to have a good look at him in training for a week or two, see if he does need the 2 new LB's highly doubt it will be Quedrue and Babayaro, that will the rival the Carr-Ramage 'option' during Souness' last season actually no, won't be half as bad, but still...
