Guest LucaAltieri Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 TOTTENHAM are ready to end Barry Ferguson's Rangers hell and bring him to England (The Sun) A central midfielder so bad I'm not sure if I'd play him ahead of Nolan or Butt. Surely no Premiership club will be in for him, it's off to the likes of Queen Of The South for you, laddie... The big boss at work is a huge Celtic fan and he rates Ferguson for some reason. Says he wouldn't mind him at Celtic. Seems to have a decent reputation up there at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Dare I say it but if we get relegated we could do a lot worse than Chopra, he's like Van Nistelrooy in that league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that Fulham are now considered a step up from Monaco. from what I've seenof him he's pretty decent. Quick and will run all day. Not a tremendous goal threat but still good. Also I'm sure his name has always been Park Chu Young. Is yours the proper translation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching this mini-documentary the other day and seeing all those live events with thousands of people watching the games live and probably a million more watching it on TV it made me wonder. Those pro gamers are pretty crazy, like these clans lock themselves up in this little rooms with just tables and computers and practice 14 hours a day (and when they practice there is no time for msn/facebook etc. you actually play for 14 hours straight, they have 3-4 coaches that ensure no one is doing anything else), 6 days of the week. It's a bloody 10 year old rts game ffs! Taken from wiki "Boxer), is one of the most successful players of the real-time strategy computer game StarCraft to date. Dubbed The Emperor by his legions of admirers, he is the most popular Starcraft player with a fan club of more than 600,000 members and a DVD compilation of his greatest games released in South Korea." Seeing how dedicated and competitive Koreans get can when it comes to computer games ya have to wonder why that doesn't transfer that to sports and why they don't have more world class athletes.

Seeing how dedicated Koreans get can when it comes to computer games ya have to wonder why they don't have more world class athletes. It's got a very devoted and large group of fans (I'd say it's the third most popular "professional sport" in Korea after Baseball and Football,) but it's a bit different from other sports in that its cultural relevance outside that group is basically nil. For example, Koreans who've never watched a match in their life will still know who Park Ji-sung is, I don't think anyone over the age of 35 would notice Boxer if he passed by them on the street.

Guest Heneage Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ok there's 1. But by in large the track record of the lower league striker making the step up is poor, Dave Nugent being a prime example. Chopra was totally the wrong buy for Sunderland as outside of his goals which would be a lot harder to come by in the top league he offers very little, he wasn't really all that impressive in his few games for us in the Premier League. When you compare him to someone like Jones, who can defend corners, hold the ball up, beat players, be strong in the air. Its no contest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about attributes really. A short fat striker with semi decent finishing ability is never going to be good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
