    The amount of clubs he's played for most definitely shows that his attitude is not right

    PSG
    Arsenal
    Real Madrid
    PSG
    Liverpool
    City
    Fenerbache
    Bolton

    And now Chelsea.

    Quite a lot of clubs for a 28 year old.

    Undoubted talent, somewhat ruined by his attitude. He could have been a lot better than he was. Should have stayed at Arsenal.

    He definately should have stayed at Arsenal, he was class there, but like all players he wanted more money and moved to Madrid.

    2 right backs, a center back, a right or left winger, and a striker will do me at the villa

    I'd like to propose a creative midfielder gets added to that and also the striker should be clarified as a prolific proven goal-scorer (20+) not another Harewood.

    His attitude at Arsenal stank but since then he has been alright, he was very popular at Liverpool

    When he was at pool , he was on Loan right?

    Was there an attempt at the time to sign him permanently?

    Houllier decided to sign diouf instead.

    Among a lot of awful decisions made during that time, it still ranks as the worst for me.

    The players and fans both wanted him signed.

    Back of the Indo reports Rafa interested in buying Richard Dunne. He was excellent on Sunday and while one game isn't everything Dunne has been excellent for City for some time now.
    I remember they were linked with him a good few months ago too.

    That would be sweet

    I really dont rate Hunt as highly as some on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    its only Des Tusky, dont worry!

    Big Ron looks like he could be heading back to Brazil:

    I don't think Dunne would be good enough to replace a fully fit Agger, so I wouldn't like to see him move to Liverpool and warm the bench.

    +1

    He's done nothing out of the ordinary thus far this season. A good mid table club player but no more. It's not like he's a teenage prodigy, he's 26 ffs. Prime of his career.

    As for Anelka, his attitude was crap at Arsenal, it was crap at Madrid, it was crap at PSG and it was crap at Fener.

    He's just not able to man up when things don't go his way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    Would love to have Dunne at Liverpool. He's come on leaps n bounds.

    He might even give Carragher a run for his money (better in the air, better passer, possibly even reads the game better).

    Somewhat controversially to all you Pool fans, I think he'd be good enough to replace a fully fit Carragher. Based on this seasons form.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan

    Agger is still developing, Rafa intends on him to be first choice like carra within a season or two alright, but not quite yet imo. He is still developing (which is frightening), Rafa wanted Heinze to play alongside him as well as Carra in order to develop him more imo. Dunne would do the same job. He wont be playing every week. But it would mean we could give Carra the occassional rest, and not have to play Agger every week.

    I think Agger is more than able to be first choice for liverpool already, i think he is an amazing young player, already one of the top CBs in the league. Gonna be a future club captain. And he can only get better playing with the likes of Carra and Dunne every week.

    Brown's contract is up in the summer and I'm sure if a decent bid comes in (3 million plus) United will offload him unless he signs a new one.

    united wont get £3m+ for a player a club can have for free in 6 months

    id say theyd be happy enough with half that

    Unlucky to be in the same side as Vidic and Ferdinand. I rate Brown highly, a good albeit often injured CB. He'd do well at the likes of Villa/Everton/Newky/City

    villa were linked with him again today, id take him anyway

    i think we can do without the playmaker at the moment, that can wait til summer when we'll pay a more reasonable price and theres more players available

    id absolutely love to see us try for anelka, whether we get him or not i dont care, but itd be a definite signal of intention

    Actually, screw it.

    Happy New Year Mr Alan, I'm sure there'll be many more interesting and heated debates in Twenty Oh Eight.

    Have a good one mate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    you too mate


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭irishpartyboy


    I wouldn't get too carried away there mate, he's a good young player with alot of potential.. the key word being potential. Time will tell, like with most young players.

    wouldnt call it carried away.

    he was played nearly all last season as part of the best defence with the best record in the league. He also can score goals and play football.

    He had a nightmare against Chelsea in the CL semi final first leg.

    He came back and had Drogba in his pocket for the second leg as well as scoring the goal that sent us to Athens-that shows the mental strenght of the chap.

    Guy is brilliant.

    What has he won? He's got massive potential.

    Dont be stupid. He is only young and has only had one season at Liverpool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭irishpartyboy


    I didn't realize this was the school yard. He's got potential.

    He has the potential to be one of the best in the world.

    He is already one of the best in the league.
