AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Stewart Downing and James Milner are both quality Premier League footballers. James Milner is a brilliant player. When used correctly. Downing, on the other hand, is a waste of skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think Shola's the best finisher I've seen at the club aside from Shearer and possibly Ba (baring in mind I go back to about 98). Shame he's guff at everything else. Viduka would probably be closest to Shearer but I'm going to discount him because he barely played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 On his day, Titus was brilliant - quick, strong, good on the ball. It was just that it didn't happen often enough. I seem to remember him being brilliant against Juventus in the CL and thinking that if he could play like that every week... Exactly this. On his day he's everything you want from a CB. He was a better player for us than Saylor has turned out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a better player for us than Saylor has turned out to be. Bramble has never come close to the odd run of form Taylor has had for us. For all I'm not particularly keen on him, Taylor's had more than one lengthy spell of being just about imperious. Bramble had the tools but ultimately he was fucking garbage for us and I celebrated his signing to Wigan like a goal. His sending off for the Mackems against us was glorious, too.

Dr Venkman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Titus Bramble was a very good defender for the majority of his career here. Very good? For the Majority? Can't agree with that like. He had his days and occasionally he would put together a 2 or 3 game run where he didn't do something ridiculous, but even when he was solid in defence he was still smashing the ball 60 yards up the pitch and out of touch. You simply can't be a very good premier league defender without a brain. Titus Bramble was a good player. Relatively quick, strong, good in the air. Was capable of some magnificent performances. Always likely to drop a clanger though. Aye, but he wasn't 'very good for the majority of his time here'. Or anything close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Parker was decent 1st season (mind our best run that season came when he was out). 2nd season he was gash and completely shown up by Nicky Butt which said it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 God, I fucking hated Nicky Butt. The constant attempts at the clever dink over the defence, the free kicks. He was horrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Jean-Alain EightMillion was probably the only CB I disliked more than Bramble. Didn't mind O'Brien; he was one of those squaddies who you knew wasn't great and never expected a great deal from, but put in a decent shift. Like a better Williamson, really.

Bramble played for a better team regularly, aye. But he was good enough to play regularly in a side that had a few decent cup runsn and league finishes.

Kimbo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think Scott Parker is mint and he was one of my favourite players here. I liked him aswell and felt he was harshly treated.

I remember people rating Nicky Butt over him, which I found mental. Nicky Butt was far better than him in 06/07. But wasn't that partly because Butt was given the simple job of being a DM, while Parker was expected to get forward and create because he was considered the more talented of the two? I felt we should have stuck by Parker and I thought it was crazy how quickly people turned on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Tiote is not nearly as bad as people like to make out. If he can recover the form he had for us during the first season and half, he is a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, you could replace Parker's name with Tiote there and you'd have the situation we're in now with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
