You didn't stipulate as to which leg you were talking about.

Roman Pavlyuchenko is selfish and misses a few but has talent. He's a natural lead striker.

I didn't have too. He played enough against Bayern to impress. In both legs. You would have realised this if you had used your brain before posting. But this seems beyond you

That's a lie, he only played 6 minutes of the second leg.

I yawned because your dumb ass routine is getting old, I_live_cement. You clearly are a very stupid person.

Donut · 18th June 2008, 23:53

Of what i've seen Arshavin, he's the closest thing to Messi there is. He would fit in our team imo.

And what routine would that be?

Also, I have never once personally insulted you but at every chance you get you call me stupid. The internet is a wonderful thing.

That Demy de Zeeuw player looked decent for Holland. Seems like a good passer of the ball, and I reckon he'd do well for a midtable Premiership side. Sign him up Keano!

Could be another Denny Landzaat. Shines for the NT but not in PL.

REd FUn DevIl · 19th June 2008, 05:44

Well to be honest you better not judge on the group stage where the great sides face average sides and the expected stars show their class against the lesser teams. Apart from the group of Holland, France and Italy the rest were not much help to find new talents. Now with the quarters we'll see the real tournament. IMO the tournament has been pretty crap so far.

That's exaggerating things just a bit don't you think? I'm sure you've only seen him 4 or 5 times?

Yes, something like that but he was superb every time i've seen him. He's 27 though, makes you wonder why he isn't at some bigger club... Or maybe he's just a late bloomer.

I'd say it's a mix between him being a late bloomer and him being happy making millions at Zenit, as they supposedly pay him a fair amount more than he would get paid here.

Actually you have insulted me before. On top trying to at every turn score some sort of points at my expense. Like you are in some sort of competition. While acting like a dumb ass. As I said. I am tired of your routine. When you change it then will I become more civil towards you. Till then suit yourself

yes, Arshavin seems to be very very good player, but to compare him with Messi...why?

The closest thing to Messi is probably somebody like Robben.

Donut · 19th June 2008, 13:18

Why is that laughable? I'm not saying he's as good but their style is quite similar, much more than Robben, who is more of a traditional winger.

Robben has similar close control and speed to Messi making him much more similar.

Giggsy PO · 19th June 2008, 13:40

Find me someone else who has compared Archavin to Messi (do we speak about the same Lionel Messi from Barcelona?)...it´s laughable.

Mozza · 19th June 2008, 13:53

Russias right and left back

You have completely lost me on this one. Please explain what you mean and I may be able to defend myself, because at the moment I have no idea what you're insinuating. Anyone else know?

cesc's_mullet · 19th June 2008, 16:15

Guus Hiddink.

Iron Stove · 19th June 2008, 21:22

Zjirkov, Pavlochenko and Arshavin of Russia. Fucked up the spelling no doubt.

The Boxer · 19th June 2008, 21:27

Podolski & Benzema

ERICSAGOD · 19th June 2008, 21:29

Arshavin
Modric
Sneijder
Engelaar
Pirlo

ninja_alan · 19th June 2008, 21:57

Ballack is really talented at pushing people around.

On a more serious note Podolski has really impressed me.

Kelvin · 19th June 2008, 22:17

Podolski, maybe we should try and sign him.
