Albert Luque (now retired)

[Dave]

No Champions League for Albert.

[Guest]

Has this deal definitely been confirmed? Hope tonight's result and lack of Champions League money doesn't scupper it.

According to the Sky Score Centre Slavia scored in the 86+3 minute...

 

WTF?

[Tsunami]

Best news I had while on hols!

Albert Luque looked back with mixed feelings on his debut. ,,I enjoyed the stadion and the atmosphere, but I am not pleased with my performance. I have to get in better shape."

2-2 and Luque subbed off.

Has this been confirmed yet?

[Karjala]

Luque has confirmed he received his pay before the game again

[Guest Geordiesned]

Has this been confirmed yet?

 

What? That he needs to get in better shape?  :giggle:

[Guest Ebolarama]

Still nothing on .co.uk. Worried yet?!

[Karjala]

maybes Albers been ultra clever, and is being paid by 2 clubs

[Newcastle Fan]

Still nothing on .co.uk. Worried yet?!

 

They are just so gutted that he left.

[Guest Ebolarama]

Time to take down the sausage meat and horsehair Luque effigy, I guess.

[thenige]

He started on the left in the 2-2 draw with FC Groningen. (I think this pretty much confirms the transfer!)

No doubt he'll start for Ajax the same way he's played for us on the occasional and fleeting apearances he gotten in our team.  But who wants to bet that once he's had 3 or 4 consectutive games at Ajax he won't start to look like the player he was before he came here?

I'd be surprised if more than 1% of this forum knew what Luque was like before he came here.

 

Personally, he never caught my eye and I never heard anyone raving on about him. Ever. I'd bet a lot of people will say the same as well.

Yeah I'm sure most people here saw little Spanish Football and didn't know much if anything about Luque before he came here.  I'm no expert either, when I said "start to look like the player he was before he came here" I simply meant he'll look like a good player again.

[Rich]

I beg to differ

[Teasy]

I beg to differ

 

About what?, that he'll look like a good player again given games?  I'm glad you disagree, makes it interesting to wait and see what happens

Whatever you obviously don't watch must Champions League either then.

Fucking hell man, it's late.

 

You said "who wants to bet that once he's had 3 or 4 consectutive games at Ajax he won't start to look like the player he was before he came here?" about Luque and then said that you're not an expert on him pre-NUFC either, much like myself.

 

My point is this: how can we compare him to the "player he was" when barely any of us had seen much/any of him before 2005?

 

Was he ever that great for Deportivo? He certainly wasn't an invaluable player for them, as his appearance record shows, if anything he was possibly their less-effective version of Laurent Robert who scored a few raspers for them and an important goal or two, but was quite probably as infuriating as fuck the rest of the time and offered little/nowt from open play.

 

From what I remember he has a goal ratio 1 in 4 or something throughout his career, which would be mocked for most other strikers/forwards.

 

Don't believe the hype, basically.

Changing your post. Not cool.

 

You beg to differ about what?  Be more specific, I don't know, janitors are always lazy bastards

He played left wing a lot of the time, especially in the latter end of his Deportivo career, and he was infact a very important player for Deportivo along with players such as Tristan,Victor, Fran,Valeron etc with Makaay been the exception as he was the best out of the lot.

Janitor

 

Dear me it must be late for you mate, you're obviously incredibly irritable if you get so worked up over a joke about janitors being lazy.. how bizarre, unless you really are a janitor and I've offended your profession or something?   Anyway as I said its not important exactly how good he was, as I already said I just meant he will probably be a good player again IMO.  It amazes me how people can make so much from so little sometimes..

 

This was my comment by the way for everyone to see "About what?, be more specific.  I don't know, janitors are such lazy bastards ".  Hardly anything to get worked up about is it?  BTW I only changed it because I re-read the posts and thought it was a pretty safe bet what you meant so there was actually little point asking..
