Bimpy474 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Brilliant player, lord knows how we signed him but i'm glad we did. Best player we've had for a long long time (HBA aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Beardsley, Shearer and Robert are our 3 best Premier League era players imo. There's having favourite players and that but Robert doesn't belong alongside those two like. Not going to argue it with you or anything, I just can't see how you'd have Robert alongside those two and that's before getting onto having him ahead of the likes of Lee and Cole.

TRon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Robert Lee was pretty fucking amazing. Still the best midfielder of our times in the Premier League. From 93-97 he had everything. He was but one thing which always stuck in my craw was in the season that we looked like we were going to win the title, him and Ferdinand went missing in the latter part of the campaign. First half of the season they were banging in goals left right and centre, then in the final run in they just disappeared goals wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Robert was an odd one, wasteful in possession, would go missing for large parts of the game, but boy could he cross and shoot and he set up loads of goals and scored them too. A frustrating figure but easily one of our best ever PL players. Apart from his goals, his delivery was amazing. None of this floated stuff to the back post, he used to whip them in with dip and curve. A nightmare for keepers and defenders, but the pundits preferred to concentrate on his lack of defensive work. Another reason why I loved Bernard at the time, he not only covered for Robert defensively, he worked brilliantly in tandem going forward as well.

Altamullan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Carr is owed more credit for this signing, especially if he's also getting blamed for Thauvin and Cabella. Yep well done Graham: established international with around 20 caps, young yet respected captain, his team won the title, Dutch player of the year.

Fuckwits that can't appreciate Colback's contribution to the team for example, while so many coaches, managers and ex-players do right? Fuckwittery, in this sense, involves ignoring or not being able to understand the actual issue previously being debated (in the Colback forum), or believing and propogating the delusional chaff which is the actual issue being debated, ie. what they see on the pitch is proof that a player is deliberately playing badly to save their skin/reputation at the expense of the team, that one player is the sole/main reason that the 'top of the pyramid' premiership teams they have played in have struggled with relegation, that people with professional knowledge and day-to-day coaching of the player over his career are biased (due to friendship/not wanting to hurt his feelings-despite having to have the conversation with 99% of the best young players who go through their academies), that anybody who doesn't share these views international manager or fellow fan is clearly wrong/not as proficient at mind reading as they are. Anyway, what doe sthat have to do with not seeing it as vital to applaud Graham Carr for finding Wijnaldum; Dennis Wise could have found this fucker. Doubt it was GC who persuaded him to sign. Who do you fancy applauding for that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Chibas Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Robert wouldn't even be in my top 20 of Toon players from the PL and I loved him. What is this madness? Intrigued to read the 20 names Yup, one of two players (along with Bellamy, another supposed villain from the Souness Era who spilled some home truths at the time) who were vital in transforming our attack and punching Robson's team up a gear. Statistically would have to be our most productive winger since Waddle. You can't rattle on about Pardew this & Pardew that and how he expects wide attacking players to have the traits of an auxillary fullback, and crucify (justifiably) the manager when his ego effectively alienates the team's attacking mavericks and have a selective memory - and HTT panned & hung Robert out to dry and backed the manager during the dark days of Souness v Robert. This is something I'll never forget either, especially at a time when a manager's warped football ideology & ego were dismantling a team. Robert received a similar a raw deal under Souness, re: Ben Arfa /Pardoo (his football ideology, expectations, and ultimstely ran foul of The King's ego). If you can't find a spot in your PL Era Top 20 for Robert (a productive flawed geniys type, made a massive impact prior to being alienated by a manager) and inclyde Ben Arfa then I think you're a sellout to just about everything previously posted about genius type players (while Pardew was 'ere) and hiw they should be handled by a manager in order for them yo flourish - which Pardew & Souness' respective 'style' is the antithesis of.

STM Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 In no order: Shearer, Speed, Lee, Solano, Ferdinand, Beardsley, Cole, Woodgate, Ginola, Wijnaldum, Given, Bellamy, Tino, Ben Arfa. Struggling after this point to think of anyone who I liked more than Robert. Robert was belting. That Spurs game man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
