Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Viduka for Sibierski/Dyer. Enrique for Baba? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Wayne Routledge for Hatem Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 not a fan of nolan...huge fan of cabaye....but to say its the best replacement is just silly. could easily come up with 30 (or so) better replacements...if i could be bothered....which i cannot. Come up with 3 then. Cabaye for Nolan is the single biggest transfer reason for us doing so well this season. That allowed us to sign Cisse and will probably allow us to hold onto the likes of Colo (possible wouldn't have signed a contract if we were in 11th or so), Ba, Ben Arfa....... It's a f***ing brilliant replacement and we've been a different team from day one because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 30 better replacements than Cabaye for Nolan why has there only been 3-4 other serious suggestions in this thread, then? Personally, I'd say Tiote for Smith is a wider chasm and a better replacement; Nolan had his flaws but what he was good at (being a captain + scoring fairly often) was very useful. Smith served literally no positive function whatsoever, he was a passenger, a burden and a fraud. Cabaye for Nolan is almost definitely second.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Who did Bellamy replace? Gallacher/Cort? It was pretty much Robert & Bellamy for Glass & Gallacher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Tiote for Smith if that counts as a replacement. Who did Shearer replace btw? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Beye was similar to Tiote in that he solved a problem we had had for years and years previously. Enrique was also a massive improvement on any other LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Our best replacement - Cabaye who replaced a Nolan who was our captain and scored 29 goals in 2 seasons to help us get promoted and stay in the Premier League? Come on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Woodgate replaced Marcelino in January 2003. One central defender out, one central defender in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I much prefer Cabaye to Nolan but I'd agree it's harsh to call swapping them the best replacement. Even Ba for Carroll I would query - Carroll was playing really well for us. Ba for the Liverpool-era Carroll, aye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Carroll was kind of replaced with Ba and Cisse which isn't too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Of the last 10yrs, or thereabouts. Robert, for Glass. We were a lop-sided team in attack, prior to his arrival. Robert's inclusion delivered left-to-right width & balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
