  1. He signed nine of the fourteen players that played in Istanbul. Whatever else they had done in their Liverpool careers up to that point, surely that victory was justification enough to have signed them.

  3. Cobs in dig at Mourinho shock
  4. Wasn't this the era of the foreigner rule in Europe, where teams could only field three non English players. I think this contributed to Souness deciding to sell a lot of decent players such as Staunton and Houghton. It still doesn't excuse the mess he made of the overall job but he was put in an awkward position because of that rule.

    Fowler

    The echo has the same story but a different headline. Just goes to show what kind of spin newspapers can put on things. I've done enough for new deal, says Fowler
  6. Sky sports were reporting this morning that Roeder will be doing his coaching badges this summer, with the implication that the job was his if he wants it. Maybe Ged is coming in as director of football.
  7. Please tell
  8. Do you think he played well in the group ?
  9. I never said he wasn't a very good player. All I was pointing out was that he hadn't played well in the qualifiers. England scored 17 goals and he scored none. For a forward/striker that is a poor return.
  10. Rooney does not play the Dalglish role for England. He is there to score and, admittedly to a lesser extent, create goals. To this end he has, in my opinion, failed in the qualifying games.
  11. Explain that one to me.
  12. And what did he do in the qualifiers exactly to mark him out as world class ? He is a striker and the last time I checked the main role of a striker is to score goals. Check my previous posts to see how many he contributed. He failed to score in the champions league for the mancs as well this season as far as I am aware. So in the two most prestigious competitions he was involved in this season he has scored zero.
  13. Did a bit of checking and Rooney played in 7 of the qualifying games without scoring. England scorers : Lampard 5 Owen 3 Gerrard 2 Beckham 2 Cole 2 Defoe 1 Own Goals 2 I think looking at that England are definitely screwed without Rooney.
  14. I read somewhere over the weekend that Rooney did not score in any of the qualifying games. If true, then what is all the fuss about ?
  15. I think it was in the Sunday Times that one of the reasons Curbishley left Charlton was that he was devastated when Parker left and then when he turned down the chance to come back when he left Chelsea. It was suggesting that Curbishley knew he had taken the club as far as he could when Parker joined Newcastle. He's a decent player but surely not that important.

    Pennant

    He was the first player I thought of as well when they got relegated. Sent a text to another forum member at around ten to five Saturday saying we should bid for him that night. Would be an excellent signing if we could make it happen. Thanks for the info.
  17. Is Parker not injured ? Seems strange that he is not being mentioned in the media as a possible squad member.
  18. You were doing fine until you mentioned Ferdinand in the holding role. What has he done to prove he can play there at international level ?

  20. Twice his size, yes
  21. He has an Irish granny and in the Jack Charlton... er sorry Steve Staunton era this means you must declare for Ireland. Chris Hughton has already approached him.
  22. But Lennon is going to declare for Ireland if he doesn't make the world cup squad.
  23. Always wondered where he got that ridiculous accent. Where is he actually from? Hamilton is definitely an Arsenal fan.
