Is Mourinho trying to be too clever?

That was the problem - he was a decent player with the pineapple , all ability was lost when he cut it off :D

God knows what it was but I might has been our striker for the time he was with us, he was dire and then some. Then he appeared on TV slagging our club off saying it was poorly run and basically not up to his standard and he was glad when he left. Needless to say he not the most welcome in the area if he should visit:) an absolute disaster of a signing.

You can have that mate - I'll raise you one Andy Carroll !!
 
On a slightly lesser scale Kevin Davies on a free transfer was a good bit of business and sold to Southampton for £750,000 a few years later which turned out even better for Southampton as they sold him to Blackburn for £7 Million I think, worst for us was Jason Lee at £250,000 useless footballer scored 1 goal in about 20 games before he shown the door at a huge loss

We also got egil ostenstadt in that deal, who we later sold back to rovers and got money and James Beattie who we later sold for millions to Everton. Blackburn kept us in profit for a few seasons.
 
Agreed Carroll was overpriced. I do not think he has been given a fair crack of the whip though by Rodgers, he seemed determined to hound him out of the club from the day he arrived to me. Tell me if I am wrong but that was how it seemed to me.


Think you got that spot on tbh

Yes he was a good £20mil over priced

But played right he could be a beast of a player - at times he was unplayable and caused so many problems but the price tag was always going to be a problem.

Remember when he destroyed Chelsea in the league after the Cup Final

It was clear BR didn't want anything to do,with him
 
Yep played correctly and used properly in certain games he could be an asset to most teams. Physically not many will get the better of him. Downside is the temptation is to keep pumping long balls up to him all the time.

Injuries are killing him at the moment and yeah pumping it long is never pretty - but get players wide and get crosses into,the box and he will create problems

Do yu have some personal thing against Chels, your post would suggest do....
 
haha, spat my coffee then!

I would still take Torres back at LFC if Jose wants to get rid ;)

Really ?! Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole now mate - certainly burnt those bridges for me
 
I rmemeber posting ting about this at start of season and quoting your official site with the details, just had a look at it appears you've had a number of u21's return during January. With only Gael Kakuta still out on loan, so expect they made up the original 34. But according to your site I make it 25.

The 24 on the official website are;

Atsu
Delac
Hazard
Courtois
Kane
Wallace
Omeruo
Chalobah
Saville
Traore
Cuevas
Davila
Lalkovic
Pirez
Perica
Bamford
van Aanholt
Piazon
Bertrand
Marin
McEachran
Lukaku
Moses
Romeu

Same number, 24, as were on loan when you posted last time.

Bonus of a night shift is the time for research, the 42 players listed for UTD includes the 3 players they have loaned out. Liverppol squad total of 37 listed with 7 pf those loaned out. Chelsea have a squad list of 26 including Moses who is loaned out, in addition to that they have a further 24 players loaned out, giving them a squad of 50. Not so small maybe. All figures can be manipulated to show what you want.

I said I remembered posting about it, not exact figures. Although as I also said, you've had extras return from loan and I don't see kakuta on that list of 24. Have a look on your website. Go to under 21's, find kakuta and let me know what it says........

I think the original things I said were in reference to you claiming to have a small squad in comparison to competition. Nothing to do with simply hoarding all big names. Although as has been said. You have a first team squad of 24 first team players. You very rarely give a shot to many youngsters. They get a game it two and if don't set world alight it's bye bye.

I didn't say it was the same 24, I said it was the same number, 24.
