***Offical*** English Football Season 2004/05

[roseboy64]

Anyone noticed that Tottenham have four quality strikers unlike some of the top teams except United.Keane, Kanoute, Mido and Defoe are all good IMO. But they're not close to van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Saha and Smith. Chelsea have Drogba and Gudjohnsen.Kezman's not impressed substantially yet. Arsenal it's Henry really.Bergkamp can get a mention but van Persie is unproven yet IMO.

 

[roseboy64]

Nice return by van Nistelrooy.Average but it's a comeback.Nice to see Alan Smith out there.Howard and that greek guy gave up two goals that can't really be blamed for.But that third by the Greek was just poor.Nice by Rooney though but ridiculous positioning.

 

[roseboy64]

Wow by the Spurs. The subs saved them.Two great goals there by Kanoute and Keane. That's a pretty nice bench there to have with those two.I really think they should climb up the table now. Robinson, Davies and King in there should also help.

Thank goodness for Rooney, he was the only one who looked like threatening, great game from him, lets hope he can reproduce at the san siro!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Arsenal come nowhere close to that.Also, the Academy is mostly English with Kieran Richardson one of the most outstanding along with Chris Eagles. Rossi's Italian but hey...

We said "good"

Rooney > Defoe > Nistelrooy > Keane > Smith > Mido > Saha > Kanouté

Rooney > Defoe > Nistelrooy > Keane > Smith > Mido > Saha > Kanouté

That is debateable, Mido cannot be judged on the handful of games he has had for Roma and spurs. The clear best 3 are indeed Rooney,ruud and defoe but it is hard to distinguish between the next 3, though Kanoute is indeed the worse. Saha on his day is as potent as anyone as shown by his time at fulham, he just hasn't consistently produced that at man utd, yet.

 

[roseboy64]

That's because he's been injured. He did however score in his first five games or something like that for Man Utd.

Keiran Richardson is absolute toilet, (he's also far from being an academy player now)

Other than Rossi, there is also Markus Neumayr, Jonathan Spector , Jami Puustinen, Floribert N'Galula, Kyle Moran, Paul McShane, Gerard Pique,David Gray, Darron Gibson, Jonny Evans and more who are not eligible for England

Pretty much what I said.

Richardson is a outstanding player who has got Potenial it a pity he might not make it as Giggs will stay on at Man united for a few years..... lets hope that he signs for the Baggies

 

[superkingdave]

nope Richardson is utter w*nk, he has never done anything when he has played for the first team to suggest he is 'a outstanding player', even most manure fans i know would admit that

If he was outstanding he wouldn't have been loaned out. Simple as.

 

[roseboy64]

That's to get first team experience.Giggs is there so his first team games would be limited if he was to stay at Man Utd. Doesn't that make sense?

Well it's at least more English than Arsenal's.I'm inlcuding the Reserves and U19 and first team foirnges in there too under "Academy".

 

[marc71178]

But there's Neville, Neville, Brown

Oh great (!)

They're all better than Saha or Smith.

 

[marc71178]

Richardson is a outstanding player

Hmm, is he playing at Worcestershire at the moment?

If he was going to be any good, he'd have made it by now.. He's 20 and by that age you should be pretty regular. I've just discovered he wasn't a United product anyway...

If he's not better than Quinton Fortune, there really isn't much hope for him, is there?

 

[roseboy64]

Well he's not playing too badly for West Brom is he?
