    Darren Fletcher is class, he is obviously good enough to be Premier League player.


    Voronin? Eh how about no, he is a decent/good player.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,951 ✭✭✭DSB


    Having Curtis Davies in your team for this is 1 of the most ridiculous things ever. Excellent player.

    I must be one of about 5 people in the world that rates McShane. :D Put him up against a target man and I honestly believe he's one of the best in the premiership at marking him. Koller, Berbatov, Benni McCarthy, Davies... Man of the match against all of them. Not bad for the worst centre half in the league. He just needs to sort out his faults but he's a good reader of the game who'll learn. His timing for headers is superb. I'm surprised he doesn't score more.

    Honourable mentions to Marc Edworthy, Darren Moore, Darius Vassell, Dirk Kuyt, Philippe Christanval, Jlloyd Samuel and Liam Ridgewell. Competition was tough at the back.

    i take it you have changed your mind on Vassell now ;).

    What was the Southampton player who Souness got his Uncle was ment to be George Yhea?

    Taibi gets GK for me.
    Sissoko is wort a mention.
    Djimi is defo worth a mention.
    Andy Reid loose some weight yea chuppy git he looks like me and that aint a good thing!
    Bramble cause he's just 1 touch away from a clanger
    McShane mainly cause he's the Irish version of Bramble
    Harry "questionable" Rednkapp signed a few bits of tripe in his time, Florin Raddaciou and there was a german striker as well who come to mind.
    Derby County FC! worst team in the league ever.
    Sunderland FC under Mick McCarthy second worst team.
    Dong, Voronin, Djemb Djemba, Baros, Harte, Connolly,

    i concur, he is only 22 and he has a lot to learn. Also its not as if he has the best bunch of lads around him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    Nani

    He's worse than Kieran Richardson and thats bad!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Robbie Savage - not so much a footballer as a brawler. Ah well wont be a Premiership player for long now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    bit harsh on Walcott, he is still a very young player, most appearances so far are as a sub. He will live up to expectations.

    Very harsh

    He's been a disappointment so far but looks very raw, I'll give him more time before I judge if he has it in him or not.

    Bramble
    Dong Gook
    Ki Hyeon
    Konchesky
    Sonko
    O'Shea
    Ramage
    Andy O'Brien
    Half of Sunderland's 50 man squad (yes including Paul 'if he was English we would be saying he is sh!te' McShane)
    The entire Derby County squad
    and a load of other useless gimps who i can't remember their names

    are all about as deserving of playing Premiership football as much as i am!

    (yes including Paul 'if he was English we would be saying he is sh!te' McShane)
    The only reason for that would be the only time I'd probably see McShane if he was English would be on match of the day. I've watched him loads and don't think my bias takes over.

    Not even a tiny bit :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Someone said Curtis Davis is a 'great' defender on here, if that is allowed then Paul McShane can be labelled the next Fabio Cannavaro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,013 ✭✭✭✭eirebhoy

    If you think so, fair enough. I honestly don't think so.

    And btw. I've yet to meet a single person that rates McShane so the bias accusation isn't really accurate.

    davies is getting there tho

    mcshane is still poison


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I personally think both will develop into good players.

    To be fair I have not seen him that much so not really fair for me to judge him.

    Haha Davies is far better than McShane. Did a better job than McShane did in the Championship, and has done better than him in the Premiership too. I'd say if you asked Capello he might agree too.

    McShane was motm every other week for Brighton. Played right back for West Brom. Just making that point, I'd definitely rather Davies though atm. McShane is still potential that I'm sure will be fulfilled. :)

    Were Brighton not relegated though? It's a far bigger achievement to be the best defender at West Brom if you ask me. I don't think McShane is terrible either though. But he'll never be good enough for a top 6 team. Davies already is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,404 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    Lee Dong Gook (Boro) definately

    I think I read somewhere he has scored against Northampton and Mansfield

    I honestly believe I would have scored more goals than that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Pizarro


    kdjac


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain

    I'm starting to think that some people in the hate thread may have got it wrong. They just picked useless players who should be pitied for their less than proficient skills rather than hated. And it got me thinking; how many fully useless players are currently plying their trade in the Premiership of all places? I know I've shouted something like "Ah ffs, shure I'd do better meself" at the telly a fair few times.

    Let us pick the first XI for Useless & Crap Albion AFC :)

    GK

    LB
    CB Titus Bramble
    CB Paul McShane
    RB John O'Shea

    LM
    CM
    CM Dwight Yorke
    RM Theo Walcott

    CF Dirk Kuyt
    CF Andriy Voronin

    Any more?

    yeah the whole Chelsea squad USELESS USELESS USELESS !!!

    Pizarro may not be a top class striker but does he fit into the "I can't believe he's a Premiership footballer"??

    He hasn't got that much game time, he scored 70 gaols for Bayern Munich from 174 appearances and you "can't believe he's a Premiership footballer"??

    Give me a break!
