*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[Craig]

And you had plenty of chances of signing two of them from a certain Serie B club.

 

[aussie]

Well if he had acted quickly enough he might have got one.

well who?, the only possible left-sided player in Europe that United can get as Giggs long term replacement in the near future is Downing. Since the likes of Cole, Robben, Duff, Vincente etc are either higly unlikely or impossible.

 

[TT Boy]

anyone say Real Madrid game tonight (or last night) English time. If you did how did Beckham look.

He was sub (again) and come on for Reyes with about twenty mins left. Didn’t do much wrong or right TBH.

Vicente could be attainable, Valencia have young boy called David Silva coming through who looks the business. Also they have Jaime Gavilán another left wing wizard who did extremely well with Getafe last year. If the money is right and with Vicente's injury problems, Valencia would probably sell.

 

[TT Boy]

Heinze's the only Argentinian successs so far.

Ossie Ardiles, Ricky Villa?

 

[TT Boy]

Priority is holding midfielder then forward. Anything else is surplus atm.

Michael Carrick, no?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Michael Carrick, no?

No.

Considering Duff went for only 5m, I think they could have been able to afford the fee, however United would more of a rival to Chelsea then Newcastle are/will ever be, so they may not have been keen to sell, but then they were prepared to let him go to Tottenham so perhaps they would have (heard a priceless call by a 8 year old at the MU - Chelsea game last year, but if I said it I would be banned).

Heinze's the only Argentinian successs so far.

 

[Matteh]

I've always wanted about that though, it has be a language/lifestyle thing, especially with some of the Brazilians have been useless in England, only Edu and Gilberto Silva of recently have been wonders.

Emerson Thome

 

[BoyBrumby]

Cahill on target again. He's too good for Australia, really. Criminal waste.

Don't you mean "waste of a criminal"?

[Barney Rubble]

Crying out for it.

 

[Tom Halsey]

That'd be the one i posted which Scaly didn't respond to. Henry's goal scoring record against the big four is still around one every other game. Which is fairplay.

It would be for most strikers... but for someone rated as highly as Henry it's hardly amazing.

I've always thought Henry is a world-class player... not a world-class goal-scorer though.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I don't check this thread that often and when I do I just read the last page. So I've not even read this chief poseur record against big 4 post.

It's easy to pick the big 4 over a certain period and include games where they were rubbish anyway, it doesn't change the fact that he's a flat track bully based on his international record, or the way he cost the CDMs the CL last season or the way he was poor against decent teams in the WC and he missed so many chances.

Most strikers? So the Fowlers, Owens, Heskeys and Greenacres of the world would notch up a similiar record?

Alan Shearer, only won 1 PL title, only scored a fair few at international level. Didn't score many in France 98. Flat track bully then IMO.

 

[superkingdave]

yep, i'd agree after his big injuries, scored a lot of penalties

Erm no, he's far from it.

Football didn't start in the 90s.
