we'll reluctantly give you gouffran back in part-ex for this lad, though it breaks our hearts to do so
would he be the third ex-bordeaux "attacker" after gouffran and obertan? history bodes well if we go for him
Feel sorry for Gouffran he was almost useful in a Sibierski kind of way. Man did we ever completely break him covering him into some kind of useless LB/LM central defensive winger type of nonsense. Can't see any return for him.
Feel sorry for Gouffran? He's miraculously spent the past 2.5 years starting in the PL despite being utterly rubbish.
You won't get a more perfect partnership in terms of benefit to both players than Beardsley and Cole, like. Close to 70 goals between them that first season up. Just fucking dreamy.
Totally agree!
There is no point in debating Colo with Ron as it's blatantly obvious that the curly-haired one has bummed his pet dog or budgie!
More to do with the fact I don't like gutless error-prone cowards captaining my football club.
Coloccini's been terrible for 3 seasons. Physically awful, poor effort levels, consistently poor decision making. It's some sort of minor miracle that people are stupid/stubborn enough to continue to advocate his position in the team.
Nobody's writing him off at all. It's just that I can't think of a single CB under 6' who's been a success in the PL. Obviously it sounds like he's a really athletic kid so if he's partnered right it shouldn't be any issue whatsoever.
