Rich Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've liked the look of Mifsud from Coventry in the admittedly brief spells I've seen him (can only be about half a dozen games). Small and fast, always playing on the shoulder, but not a brilliant finisher by any stretch of the imagination. He's not that young either, but put in the right team I think he could perform to a good level. He reminds me of He who shall not be named, a bit, mainly because of where he is like. I've always liked Zoltan Gera and knowing a few Baggies now, they absolutely love the bloke as well. Has a bit of everything about him, bit like a Benayoun sort. Could probably look decent at a much bigger club and may move up a division if WBA don't get promoted. Ricardo Fuller should have been a lot better than he has turned out, but a combination of injuries and bad moves have scuppered him a bit. He looked a class apart when I used to watch Preston now and again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Where on earth is Tommy Smith? Much better than Henderson or DeMerit who are included, pacey tricky goalscoring winger. Still don't understand some of the inclusions: Windass? Camp? Gray is NOT that good, also puzzled as to how Nathan Dyer misses out, Lee Croft is another good one not included.

Guest NorwegianMag Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Both Koren and Mifsud were in the lillestrøm side that met Newcastle in the Intertoto cup. Looks like they both do well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 how many would be good in the preimership? im thinking kightly is the first im thinking of Kightly has looked not much better than average whenever I've seen him, which tbf, isn't very often. Released by Spurs as a kid and went into non-league, Grays I think without checking. Of those on that list, only Surman and Ledley strike me as being future Premier League quality.

AlanSkÃrare Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Darius Henderson is the most impotent striker I've ever seen, at least when he was in the Premiership last year. Surely someone like Billy Sharp is better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone like Billy Sharp is better? Now, he is a battering ram, works his socks off and can be a poacher inside the box, exactly what is needed at Championshp level.

1878 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Saw this about a week ago, it's absolutely awful. Loads of the best young players aren't on the list. I can only assume someone who hardly watches the lower divisions put it together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Darius Henderson is the most impotent striker I've ever seen, at least when he was in the Premiership last year. Surely someone like Billy Sharp is better? He was last season, and would be this season if Sheff United realised he has to be in the box. Nice to see 3 former Scunny strikers in that last - can't really work out why Martin Paterson isn't in that list though (or Jack Cork, though strictly he's a Chelsea player). Thinking even further, Joe Murphy is regarded as one of the best keepers outside the Premiership yet still doesn't make the list. They've basically missed any player out who doesn't play for a fashionable club. Stupid list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm actually surprised that West Brazil's side don't occupy the first 11 spots tbh. The way the media go on about them, I was surprised they weren't in the Champions League draw today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got Anthony Gerrard on there who is shit. His ex-Everton reserves team mate Daniel Fox was also at Walsall with Gerrard and did very well, getting himself a big move to Coventry in January yet Fox doesn't make the list. Then again, I suppose his cousin isn't the England captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the football improved? Does a leopard change its spots? No, not really, it's improving slightly but nowhere near 'football', it's more 'a couple of passes then hoofball', which is more tolerable, the results aren't there though. However, Stoke tomorrow is bound to give me neck pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Buzsaky looked good whenener ive seen him and i still maintain that Ricardo Fuller is the best player outside the premiership (bad luck with injuries though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Glad Peter Hamolsi got a mention, this guy is very good. Can dribble, shoot, beat people, cross and take free kicks. Think he will be bought from Argyle in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
