Superior Acuña Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Can't hate Dalglish like. Baffles me how bad it went, even allowing for the massive disruption of losing Shearer, Ferdinand, Ginola, Beardsley, obviously was a failure, but here's clearly quality, and he took us to a cup final and had one of our most famous nights in history. Also as said, some key signings that went onto be important part of Bobby team. Regarding the shit ones, was he not obliged to sign some filler to an extent due to our lack of a reserve team? Perez was a second or third choice keeper who never played a game, so not really sure why that one gets highlighted. Tomasson in hindsight seems like a good signing that was let go too quickly - and relied on too much too quickly due to loss of Shearer.

The Merse Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I remember Tommassons first game and he missed an easy chance - always thought if that had gone in if things would have been different for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It wasn't Tomasson's fault, but I think the notion he 'proved us wrong' is a bit misleading. After us he went back to Holland, scored goals just as he had prior to joining us, and then used that form to move to Milan on a fee transfer. He only really had one good season there in front of goal there and that coincided with a league title. If you look at the totality of his career he never proved himself to be anything more than a 1 in 3 man at best in a top European league. There's nothing wrong with that, but he wasn't quite as pedigreed as some would believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Howey, Sir Bobby sold him years later and he chose to sell Ginola and Beardsley. Ferdinand was more a PLC decision (that money was then wasted on Andersson and Guivarch). In the same time-frame and on less Arsenal won the league and Chelsea 3cups and sailed past us - both were previously behind us. Not actually sure if anybody spent more. Would have took a Hendy, a Pires/Collins (for Ginola) and 1good instead of 3woeful forwards. Keegan built the team that nearly won the league - Ginola, Hislop, Gillespie, Barton and Ferdinand on the sales of Cole, Venison, Mathie, Neilson, Fox and Sellars almost to the penny.

Kanj Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 There was no real good reason to dismantle the team, despite selling Sir Les for "PLC" reasons i think all of that was a load of bullshit. Tommason was a good signing and should have been properly groomed under Big Al and/or Sir Les. Ginola should never have been sold for any good reason either and Dalglish for all of his credentials should have known better. I blame Kenny a lot - because he came in with a phenomenal resume and did fuck all with those credentials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he had Howey but he'd started picking up regular injuries that was to dog the rest of his career, Shearer got a long term injury, Ginola had his head turned by Barce and wanted out when he couldn't get that. Beardsley wasn't what he had been. Andersson was a stop gap due to Shearers injury and yes Arsenal built a great team for less.....does that mean every other manager that spent more and won less was rubbish ?

The dismantling was down to age (Beardsley), recurring injuries (Howey), long-term injury (Shearer), Want away (Ginola). IIRC Albert was picking up regular injuries as well. Didn't Asprilla spend a long time.e.out also ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That said, if he was selling players due to their age (Beardsley), then why replace him/them with Rush, Barnes and Pearce? Genuine question, I was about 7 at the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, I was about 7 at the time We didn't have a reserve team towards the end of KK's time here so I got the sense that those signings were to add a bit of depth and experience to the squad. Players who had experience winning things, which most/all of our squad didn't. After Dalgleish got us up to second it felt like this was supposed to be getting us ready for another title challenge. That and probably a bit of giving a few of his pals a final pay day. I don't think any of them were supposed to play as much as they did, mind. Pearce was steady, Barnes ended up our top scorer and Rush was abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, I was about 7 at the time Rush was brought in to play centre forward in response to Shearer and Asprilla injuries. Barnes and Pearce owe us nowt. It won't just age it was that Beardsleys legs were going. He only played half of Boltons games and wasn't great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
