Dave Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I cannot get over how poor Damien Duff has been for us since his arrival. A player of his calibre and repute should be doing so much more, regardless of how little he cost relatively speaking. So disappointing. Who else? This is based on how well you thought they'd do compared to in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Luque..is what most people will say.. to me its defo Titus Bramble,he was the "Wonderkid" defender who will solve our any problems we had at the back,he ended up being our worst nightmare,Duff has been shit this season but i will wait untill the end of the season to judge him,but for now he is by far our worst player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I didn't know enough about Luque beforehand to be disappointed tbh. I'm not particularly talking about how much these players have cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I saw the whole Duff being s*** thing coming tbh One thing about Chelsea is that they only sell players who won't help their cause,and it was clear to Mourinho that Duff forms will not improve,so he gave him to us on a "bargin" and now that we didnt sign any defenders i am seriously questoning the "Bargin" in the Duff deal Luque meanwhille is a diffrent case (see the Luque thread) but he didnt do himself any good by not showing any heart with the club,i saw him at Depor and he was pure class,when he came here his debut was promising then he just started going from bad to worse on and off the field..and tonights game is propbly the last time we will see him.

Northern Monkey Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Bramble is the biggest let down for me. He was supposed to bea genuine talent. But he's shite. The rest, i either didn't particularly know about, and were shit (Boumsong, Luque), or i didn't expect much of anyway (Babayaro, Carr). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Duff looks truely shocking. Huge shame. Agreed. A shade of the player he was at Blackburn and Chelsea. His through ball tonight was sublime, but he can't take a man on for the life of him and when he finally did, he tripped over the fucking ball! Is he trying to do too many things in this team? Does anyone have an answer? He used to be one of the best wingers in the country, ffs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 He wasn't that bad, come on. Too often he played the ball behind him instead of taking his man on, but he wasn't as bad tonight as some want to make out, at least in comparison to anyone else.

Dokko Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Had one of his better games tonight, especially as the game went on. Looked slighter and faster, more sharp and quicker on the turn. His confidence grew as the game went on, if he keeps the performance in the last 20mins up for the rest of the season i'll be delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thought he was pretty decent tonight. Better than he has been of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko1892 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 he has been pretty poor for what some people were saying was the bargain of the summer. He has imporved though and I hope this is just a temparary poor patch. Even it has been all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maznislav Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I think Luque is the biggest disappointment. He came as a world class player and now he is below average one. Pretty sad, but I think we should sell him to the first team give us some money for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 People are being too harsh on Duff the neet imo. He was one of our more lively players. I think a few people are almost willing him to play bad now. He's been a big disappointment so far, but tonight he wasn't our worst player. I don't know why people are trying to look for negatives here. It wasn't a very good performance by any means but just look at the thread title. We're through and thats what amtters at the end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Bramble is the biggest let down for me. He was supposed to bea genuine talent. But he's s****. Bramble is indeed a genuine talent. But his concentration .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble is indeed a genuine talent. But his concentration .... No, he's not a genuine talent. He still shows the odd glimpse of quality, but a genuine talent? No. The days when he could be classed as having potential and the chance to improve are long gone. He's a laughing stock at fans form all other clubs. He's a Championship player, but at least he had the opportunity to have a go in the Premiership. Most players of his quality don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ah reet. Well i agree then Duff has been the biggest dissapoinment. Most of the time eh has been very ordinary or poor. On form he's a class act. We shouldn't give up on him though. Give him next season. Look at the turnaround Nicky Butt has made. Luque has been awful and won't come good cos he doesn't even put the effort in. Duff may well still come good and its worth giving him more time cos if he does his the form he is capable of he will be one hell of a player for us.

Dokko Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 What worries me about Duff is that he's had one too many leg injuries and they are taken its toll on his game. What worries me more is Mourinho selling him for near peanuts, backing my concern that Duff is actually burnt out or injured beyond repair. He's certainly left his pace at Chelsea.
