Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thought he played well against Villa this season. But yes, very very limited player who should be nowhere near our squad even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Never seen Smith have a good game...far too anonymous for that. Complete passenger. He's been a name I've dreaded appearing on any team sheet that comes out, more so than any player in recent history. Smith did pretty well in the first few months of the Championship season. Fact.

magorific Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 For me it's an easy choice. This is a man that almost bankrupted the club, he was injured most of the time, didn't originally want to play for us but changed his mind when he saw the salary offered, went straight home after football practice and generally didn't give a damn about the club's destiny. Although Fred and Souness are equally to blame for bringing in this idiot, Owen still is the biggest mercenary f*** to be associated with this club. Don't tell me, you were saying as much when Owen signed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I just can't understand how anyone would want Luque in the team ahead of Shearer, even in his last year. It seems the facade lived on even after countless managers rejected him and he left without a trace of impact. Completely delusional. He was gutless, never suited to the league... and consequently bled the club dry of God-knows-what wages, an important squad place, and £10m. Are you talking about the Luque before the serious injury and mistreatment or the Luque prior to those events? He's talking about the actual Luque, not the hypothetical world beater. This is where you lot are failing to understand the argument and so there is no point continuing it.

You're building a Luque who never existed, a Luque who should have taken Shearer's place in the team. The actual Luque was there and did nothing to earn his wages or justify his price tag. It's as simple as that. Again, you were about 7 at the time and you're completely ignoring what you've just been told by VI - who saw plenty of him. I was roughly 34 at the time and fully concur with what the 7-year-old said. I, unlike you, was sat just behind the dug-out at Spurs when he refused to warm up (for the game Owen was crocked in, as I recall) because he was on the bench. Terry Mac had to physically push him onto the pitch. Luque was a disgrace. End of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Pattison is the worst by some distance. I really don't have any idea how he became a footballer, vastly under-qualified. He has to be one of the least talented people to ever play in the Premiership. The corpses of Carr and Babayaro were awful for us, but obviously these players were quite good when their careers were alive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wh Boumsong and Luque. As much as I hated Owen and everything about him, he actually had a half decent scoring record (when fit). He was shit. According to nufcblog he cost us £40 mill and scored 30 goals. That's some expensive goals. Owen is good when he got a midfielder that is able to thread the breakthrough passes he needs. But Owen is not the kind of player that stands out if the rest of the team has problems. Then he's the weakest link. One expects more from a player that is paid £100 000 a week. A player on that salary must be a notch above the rest, delivering good football even though the rest have problems. But he was just as bad as the others when we went down. He was in fact invisible.

tmonkey Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Worst recent player over his tenure with us: Alan Smith. Worst player in any one season: Nicky Butt during our relegation campaign. Worst youngster to be fielded in the first team: Matty Pattison Pound for pound worst signing: toss up between Michael Owen, Albert Luque, Xisco and Jean Alain Boumsong.

Lescott has ability but he's not an ideal partner for Coloccini. Rather have Saylor alongside Colo. He {Williamson) can and will be dropped the second Saylor is fit. And rightly so. Taylor is the more capable. And... He's {Saylor vs Williamson) got a lot more going for him. Go get your coat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
