Ronaldo

He was good when he was at Roma like, that injury ruined him a little He was but he looked totally the wrong type of player for our league. Now De Rossi imo is a player who be perfect but Aquilani just too lightweight and the games just seemed to pass him by. Not saying Aquilani is a bad player, its just some players are better suited to certain leagues. If Cabaye had gone to Liverpool he might have been written off too. Fortunately he went to a club that threw him in at the deep end, and he swam.

I've allowed myself to fall in love with Demba. I'd be devastated on a personal level if he buggered off.

Who's available that's a lot better? Rafa? Not sure if he'd be a better option, mind. He most certainly is, like.

Think they could've done a lot better.

Ba He's only really been brought off in the games we've been crusing if memory serves. Not exactly true, but even still it doesn't mean much when you look at our squad size. Ba simply doesn't have the legs to last the full game.

Welcome.

I was there. Missed a penalty later on didn't he? aye, was the last kick of the game Jan Stejskal.

We have 3 strikers left now. One is physically incapable of playing more than 20 minutes and another is capable of 70 minutes at best. Agree with you (as almost always, of course )

We were 3rd in November with him in the no.9 role. I don't think that's a Championship player. But we'll see.

Scored 1 goal after September 15th.... Ba scored 16 after that day, though.

We had 25 points from our first 11 games did we not? He was pretty much as good as anyone in those first 11 games for me. If Ben Arfa played a big part, Best certainly did.

Good player who shouldn't really be leaving. Played a big part in us avoiding the relegation fight in 10-11 and finishing 5th last time round.

Merge or get rid. How this is worthy of its own thread I don't know.

I was too harsh on him during our first season back. Poor player who contributed when he could and demonstrated a good attitude.

Indeed.

Welcome to the 28 drunkest hours of my life.

Jumped the gun.. Can you blame me?

GONE

Far, far more, actually.

Xisco played no real part in our relegation.

It does indeed.

Feel quite guilty I'm not in Newcastle under Bobby's statue for this.
