Saha is crap and not just because of being constantly injured but because of his workrate he never gives 100% in a match, whereas players like Rooney will chase down a lost cause and go looking for the ball Saha is only any good when the ball is played into his feet.101Walterton wrote:Yes Saha is good but he wont play he will be injured !!!Heston wrote:101, it looks like we may be taking Saha off your hands, is he any good? I know he's injured a lot.
We also signed Malbranque and Chimbonda this week, I'm starting to get excited!

Re: Association Football Thread
Usual top 3 with Scousers coming up on the outside. Too many variables to take into account at this stage of the season but whoever finishes above Man U will win it.
Re: Association Football Thread
I'd like to think we can challenge this year, got the strikeforce at least to compete so we shall see as we get going.

I agree with the strikeforce being strong Ive always rated Keane, but further back a lot depends on Gerard as usual.tosh wrote:I'd like to think we can challenge this year, got the strikeforce at least to compete so we shall see as we get going.

Re: Association Football Thread
Could've been contenders last season but always too inconsistent for too long, Keane should give you a good edge along with Torres, he will bag you 25 goals a season. But I have to agree with 101 it all depends on Gerrard and the peripheral players.101Walterton wrote:I agree with the strikeforce being strong Ive always rated Keane, but further back a lot depends on Gerard as usual.tosh wrote:I'd like to think we can challenge this year, got the strikeforce at least to compete so we shall see as we get going.

Re: Association Football Thread
Liverpools challenge will depend on their injury list, I don't think they have decent replacements for their key players but if Gerrard, Torres and Carragher stay fit they've got a chance..
Arsenal will stuff the weaker teams but come unstuck against the big guns again and Fabregas will piss-off at Christmas..
Man U have bought nobody yet, have already got a few injurys and an outbreak of some nasty tropical disease, Ronnie going all Hollywood and wanting to fuck off wont have helped team morale either. Bet the Ferglers praying for a good start..
Chelsea or "All new exciting sexy samba Chelsea" are looking good pre-season, the ball is being moved around with pace, Deco's sliding passes in-behind defences with slide rule accuracy. The midfield looks like being Essien, Ballack, Lampard and Deco with Boszwinga and Cole bombing forward to provide width, a motivated Drogba is unplayable and Le Sulk's found his shooting boots at last........Decent subs too JCole, SWP, Mikkel, Kalou, Malouda, Alex, Bridge, Sheva....Lookin good

Re: Association Football Thread
Last weeks friendly between Maidstone Utd and Welling, the keeper has just let in a really soft goal and the fans let him know what they think of him...

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .
