Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Gavilan was a weird one, came here really highly rated and then dropped off the earth. Wor Haris deserves a shout too. Gavilan was ace on FM. Can't remember seeing him play IRL Which one? He's wack on 01/02 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 *after we sold Nobby. Ah right. Not sure why that's a caveat, but I stand by my point re: Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 *Tin hat* Wouldn't have been against keeping Sibierski for longer. Wow. I think you need body armour and a bomb-proof shelter for that one. (I hope you're not kidding.) Excluding those who left to further their careers or quit because of injury, I've never understood why we didn't see more of Acuna.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 *after we sold Nobby. Ah right. Not sure why that's a caveat, but I stand by my point re: Shearer. I used that because those players were available from Jan 04 when we sold him. Think we’d have been better with those than playing Ambrose RM.

I used that because those players were available from Jan 04 when we sold him. Think we’d have been better with those than playing Ambrose RM. Bringing Ambrose into the equation definitely changes things. Canny, but no replacement for Nobby. Thinking on this, didn't Sounness use Bellamy on the right, and wasn't that the original source of their disagreements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hugo Viana Definitely! My abiding memory of him was that Portugal vs. England friendly, he was sensational, just sat in the middle of the park pinging about pinpoint passes and controlling the game, Valderrama-esque.

Candi_Hills Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Abdoulaye Faye. Thought he was good. Best defender I've ever seen for winning headers. Keegan came in and dropped him and N'Zogbia for being miserable gits. I was disappointed but trusted Kev. Guiseppe Rossi. We got him on loan and never played him. I always preferred him to Martins whose second touch was a header. Rossi was a much better footballer but I think Roeder felt obliged to play Obafemi because we'd paid 10mil for him.

HaydnNUFC Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Swear down I remember Rolando Aaron looking like he had a bright future barring injuries. Was I seeing things? I remember him retweeting something a fan said which was along the lines of Pardew kept on playing him in spite of him having injuries in the first few games of 14/15 to save his job. Which was probably the case, dragged us through that Palace home game which we still threw away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember him regularly impacting the game when he played and getting highlighted on MOTD then just faded into nothing. Fuck Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Carl Cort could have been a player without injuries I reckon. Woodgate was simply the best defender I seen play for us. Best defender in the league IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle obviously I thought Wijnaldum started off very well, clearly a very good player, but probably lost enthusiasm as the season wore on under McLaren. Thauvin was also obviously a better player than he showed at the time as well. Like I said, would like to have seen some of these players under a decent manager with a constructive buying policy.

Doesn't mean Rafa was wrong, and it doesn't mean Wijnaldum was a bad player either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim o knee Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 So..... He turned out to be really poor, but based on his previous I was properly excited to see him in a toom shirt - Silvio Maric. It should have been brilliant, but it wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really didn't care at all, and it showed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
