Cant think of a CM weve had that matches his ability. Only player i know of thats come in and shown that level of class in the existing team is Keegan. Vastly different obviously but im thinking immediate impact and clear levels above.

 

 

 

beardsley hit the ground running too. we’ve had some good players. let’s see if he can become a legend like those

I'm tempted to say since Shearer. There wasn't the same reception obviously, as we didn't know how good he really was when we got him, but I can't think of another signing since then that's been as good as quickly. Cabaye and Robert were class, but Bruno looks slightly better. Colo was class, but took a while to become a legend. Other big names like Owen and Kluivert flopped hard.

 

Exciting times.

 

 

 


Odd how much out fanbase has changed. If Kluivert signed for us last season and got 13 goals under Steve Bruce he’d be a bonafide cult hero. Graeme Souness sacked him off in 2005 so he must be a flop. ???

How's Justin getting on these days? Is he in our current 'realistic and worth buying' range?

 

Had a soft spot for him because of his dad when he first started coming up but just seen he's been out on loan the past couple of years.

His return in 1 season for us was great. Absolute waste, as was everything else under Souness. He carried us in Europe.


He was a class act and under the right manager would’ve been a massive success.

Always found it a bit odd that seems to be an almost universally-acknowledged truth that he was a big flop. Obviously we never saw the best of him but was hardly a flop - and scored those two crucial FA Cup goals that were probably the highlight of the season. Gutted we never got to see him properly under Bobby.

 

Palace away goal is a great memory too.

He did pretty shit wherever he went after he left us. He looked quite unfit when he came here and fitness didn't seem to get any better. Safe to say he was winding down his career either due to injury or lack of motivation. Think we got rid of him at a good time.

Would probably take him he’s played at some top clubs and would be good depth for next season. Help him realise his top potential, he’s an upgrade on anyone we have other than ASM is the way I look at it.

Would have loved to have seen Kluivert and Bellamy get a good run together up front. Would have meant Shearer on the bench and he wouldn’t have broke Milburns record like so was never going to happen.
