    Overachievers: Stoke, they are in eight place right now, most thought they would be in the relegation dogfight and yet they havent spent like crazy nor attracted so much headlines or acclaim.

    Underachievers: most say Aston Villa but given our managerial difficulties MON walking out before it started and the fact almost everyone was injured at one point or another i'd say West Ham. not a promoted side yet on course for rock bottom, thats underachieving.

    Shock of the season: Liverpool paying all that money for Caroll, Hughton getting sacked should have been but considering those doing the sacking umm not so much but Rooneys transfer request saga is in there for sure.

    Im sorry but how the fúck has nobody mentioned Edin Dzeko as the worst signing of the season? Or Torres?(only 1 person did i think). Joe Cole has more league goals than the 2 of them for his new club, and i dont care if they only moved in January.

    I think most reasonable people would give them more than 4 months to settle at their new clubs?

    Because they only moved in January. Especially Dzeko moving from a different country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    I wouldn't use January as an excuse. I didn't mention Dzeko simply because City can afford to spend vast amounts and not have them work out. It doesn't matter much to them, they can just keep spending to fix it. The reason I included Torres is because Chelsea have gone out of their way to incorporate him in their team despite it being painfully obvious he is not needed. He's a good player, but it's like that episode of Friends where Rachel puts mince in a custard pie by accident. Mince is delicious, but it just doesn't suit custard pie ;)

    So the 2 i mentioned get time to settle while Cole is written off despite how many injuries he has had this season(he has played 17 league games, about 10 starts id imagine)?

    Paully wasn't asking us to use our crystal balls. At this moment in time, it is a perfectly valid opinion to have in saying that Dzeko and Torres have been terrible signings at this moment.

    The fact that ye signed a player who had well documented injury problems and done very little the previous two seasons and made him one of the best paid players at the club makes him a fairly lousy signing IMO.

    When it seemed we had no money to spend I actually thought he wouldn't be a bad option.:o

    Hindsight being the wonderful thing that it is shows that I was very wrong and should have listened to those who said he was a crock and well past his best.

    You could make a case for saying Torres has been a terrible signing because of his general poor form for the 18 months previous so it could be argued he won't hit top form again(even though I think he will) but why say Dzeko and risk egg on your face when it's been proven time and time again that foreign players can come good and turn into superstars even after a dismal first few months?

    Because Im saying right now, Dzeko has been a poor signing. Im not saying he's one of the worst of the season due to the situation at Man City (I think a lot more goes into a bad signing than just how bad the player has been).

    Im not saying he'll be forever remembered as a bad signing, just at this moment in time, he has been. I think that's a very simple concept to understand, and again, I don't think Paully was asking us who will forever be remembered as a bad signing. Stop trying to make an issue where there isn't one, it's very simple!

    Paully's asking for the worst signing of the season. In my book that means a player that's been a disaster and that more than likely will never be a success and will probably be offloaded at the first possible opportunity.

    Fair enough if your definition of worst signing of the season is different, but it won't stop be disagreeing with you or anyone else on it.

    Sure in that case why are we even answering the overachievers and underachievers topics? Why don't we wait and see how West Brom do over the next couple of seasons to see if they truly are overachieving, likewise Villa with the underachieving.

    It's a season in review, why anyone would look at it outside the context of the season itself is bizarre.

    Best fans: Celtic. Manchester United best away.

    Underachievers: Inter

    Shock of the season: Inter going out to schalke 7-3 on aggregate, Torres to chelsea :eek:

    But why pick a player that's only been in the league for 4 months if it's a season review?

    Anyway, we'll leave it at that. Fairly meaningless argument.

    Ozil deserves a shout for signing of the season.

    Also Alves getting 20 assists at RB is the statistic of the season for me. ;)

    Im sorry but how the fúck has nobody mentioned Edin Dzeko as the worst signing of the season? Or Torres?(only 1 person did i think). Joe Cole has more league goals than the 2 of them for his new club, and i dont care if they only moved in January.

    My God you're an unbelievable whingebag.
