Jean-Alain Boumsong

Just seen a few clips of Boumsong against Man City - I can't believe we were ever interested in him or was that just forum talk - the guy hasn't got a clue

It was only Steve H that rated him.

I keep saying this, his wife and kid are very sick at the moment, bound to affect your commitment to the game.

You sure you're not confusing him with Sol Campbel?

[Nerik]

He had agreed a deal with GH at one point........brrr

 

However if it is true his family is unwell it is another story altogether. You lose focus.

what is up with them?

[Tosh]

It's a deep seated emotional illness:

 

They have a husband and father who plays in defence for Newcastle.

 

The counselling is not going well

[jimmylibel]

In fairness I'm not too sure any of our defenders would look too good if we completely ignored defensive training too.

[Stevie H]

he was a fantastic prospect but seems to have had his career f***ed by his agent and choice of clubs. if he'd gone to a decent club on a bosman from auxerre, and worked with a decent manager, he'd be a different proposition now.

[floyd]

Is it true, that because of his agent, Willie McKay (Barton's mentor for now), whoring Boumsong to other clubs, after we had agreed a deal in principle, that Liverpool have feck all to do with this corrupt agent. (alledely according to the French FA)

GH and McKay didn't get on anyway - I remember that from during the Boumsong saga. Have had run ins in the past. I certainly hope we aren't talking to him, he's the worst kind of agent.

 

I still find the story that Kev has put forward about Boumsong being blacklisted by the G14 clubs quite interesting though.

Agreed. Played well at Auxurre, played well at Rangers, goes to Newcastle (where they don't bother with defensive training) and all of a sudden he's crap... think he could come on a lot under a different manager.

I thought Mexes was the one most were looking to....

just covering my back mate.

 

still can't explain cheyrou though.

[Armin_Tamzarian]

what is up with them?

 

Not sure that info is in the public domain, all I've seen is that they're both seriously ill.

[Leo No.8]

MacKay is Djimi's Traore agent as well isn't he.

 

Wish he'd do as good a job of unsettling Champions League winner Djimi as he is everyone else...

[McBain]

He was excellent at Auxerre.

[stressederic]

You know what would help Newcastle, Boumsong and Bramble in their defensive duties and trying to shore up at the back?

 

A big name striker.

Tis not a story, tis is fact

So were Mexes and Cisse...

[Guz]

Lawrenson has said Boumsong is the joke of the premiership today. Bit harsh really, Bramble should be given that role!

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Kapo seems to have disappeared as well.

 

weird really...

[CarraLegend]

If he actually had a defender alongside him he might turn out half decent (Maybe half decent is pushing it) but with the idiot next to him he has no idea whether to do his own job or try and cover the clown who just goes walkabouts. I'm staggered they just havent called up a kid from the ressies to play there, someone who at least even knows how to form a straight defensive line would be a start. How Bramble is a Premiership player is one of the biggest mysterys going, he found his level last week when they played Cheltenham.

[Kahnee]

he found his level last week when they played Cheltenham.

 

And they caused him problems

[Bootle Buck]

He like a couple of others he was overhyped at Auxerre. Mexes, Cisse and Bounsong have looked very average if not poor since they left. Maybe their coach got the best of them. Maybe they played their hearts out for a big money move.
