Tooj 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.

I get your point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point though. Their goal tallys and assists don't come near to Roberts though. He was far more productive as an attacking force. Have to say loved them both as well mind. One of them should still be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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. Unearthed a hidden gem there and for just under £15m--we bow to your perceptiveness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
