Ronaldo

How come? Because he will. Suarez's biggest club honour is a league cup. Long may that continue.

I would start him, definitely, but Ian's description is way over the top. Either way, he's not nearly as good as being made out.

You make it sound like he's Xavi. He's behind Leroy Fer in the Dutch squad.

I've no idea what that's a reference to. Presumably you're still wounded that I was right about Tiote and Coloccini.

One thing's for sure, Aguero will have the better career of the two by far.

City look so much better with Lampard in there.

He was shit, man. Him and Gerrard were bloody awful.

I hope when I'm nearly 40 I'm giggling at singular words on the internet.

Somehow I doubt you actually laughed at that.

8 goals in 20 in a horrible league isn't excellent. Either way I think even Pardew's figured out that Gouffran should be nowhere near.

I have.

That you wrote him off and it's easier to find trivial criticism than hold your hands up.

He hits it long when he isn't, he hits it long a lot, that's a major issue. He's done well so far defensively in what? 6 games? That doesn't make him excellent nor does it call for that hyped up sentence from TCD. My original point was about someone comparing him with Puyol ffs, a mainstay in arguably the best passing team of all time. 12 games, not 6. In fact, he's played about 30 games for us as a defender and never really looked like a poor one since breaking through. I think the hoofing nonsense comes from those who wrongly wrote him off wanting to save face a bit. I disagree and I can argue a point without you referring to me in the collective third person and creating a reason for my opinion other than that I've watched him, don't rate him and think that he hoofs it a lot. I'd be the first to say if I was wrong about a player, I've done it a few times. I don't see anything in Dummett to suggest that it's anything more than good form, in a team in good form, he's still a basic player that offers little other than being average at defending. What stops him from being good at defending then? It's just bitter guff, all the time.

Bit of a weird opinion, like, KI. Man U and Chelsea dominated the PL for 7 season while semi-frequently 'hoofing' it. It's hardly a major issue that one defender defends consistently well and hits it long under pressure.

He's got a cracking left foot, like.

From what I remember of his 6 goals most of them came from set pieces.

His years playing upfront he was 1 in 2. Pretty sure I read that when he first signed. He previously used to play out wide, but that was at least three years prior to joining us. I think the very best he's ever managed over a full season is about 1 in 3. I don't think for one second he'd do as well as that in the PL. Anyway, who cares? Cisse and Perez are better players and better strikers. Scored a goal every 2.6 games in 2011-2012 season and a goal every 2.2 games in 2012-2013. Its hard to judge him as a striker here when he's never been given a chance up front. Granted he's playing like shit at the moment, but playing out of position for years can do that to you. Not when you factor in the games he played for us that season. Either way, he had 8 goals in France when he signed for us at the end of January. It doesn't bode well.

It would appear that Jenas has just retweeted teeth.

I think my hatred for Villa has washed out. No longer bothered if they go down or not, to be honest.

A 1 in 4 striker from France. No need to tell fibs.

Did you inspect him for high heels?

I don't want to keep pissing on this sympathy parade but we're talking about a player who signed for us nearly 6 years ago and has a whopping 2 PL goals in that time. That's how much his one good attribute has contributed to the cause. Nice lad, good pro, shouldn't be anywhere near a PL squad.
