Never heard opposition managers say he's unplayable or a collective fear of him from others clubs. Just our own fans delusions, seen some one say In his thread he was as talented as Messi ???.

But if he can iron out some of those bad plays, what a player he could be. He's still only 24, the guy could be unstoppable if he takes on board some of what the coaches will be telling him.

andyc35i Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) With better players around him and continued hard work to improve, he can be world class. There’s very few players in world football that can do what this guy does with the ball at speed and we should be building the team around his talent Edited February 9, 2022 by andyc35i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull then the bench at psg? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 This is pointless. If you just take end output then out of Ginola, Robert, HBA and ASM you'd conclude Robert was by far the best, my guts telling me he was the least talented out of those 4 however.

Robert's end product was insane from what I can recall. He didn't dribble as much, was a bit more direct, but his left foot was a wand, could cross the ball with real whip, and had a rocket left foot on the shot.

Skeletor Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Robert guaranteed double figures in goals and his free kick ability meant teams were shit scared to foul Shearer and give him that opportunity. Plus he was ace at picking out players with crosses and through balls. Shame about those briefs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hughton stays on instead of that idiot coming in Ben Arfa would have gone on to become a massive player at Newcastle. Hughton would have accommodated him, and not been trying to turn him into a right back like that moron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
