Don't worry - Larry knows he's in line to take over, so he's feeding us his best prospects...And it worries me that Blanc was so happy to do business with us for him.

Agree. The cafe has a lot of revisionism which suggests that Ronaldo wasn't very good for us as an 18 year old. He was the fans' player of the season in his first season and the best player on the pitch in the cup final.This simply is not true. Ronaldo on his debut v Bolton was incredible and got the whole football world talking and only played for 30 mins.
Obertan will still end up getting more games than Nani did last season.where is he? Obertan that is?
wheres the hype gone? is he still better then Nani
Yes, pleaseAh so everyone has finally realised he isn't actually all that good. Over hyped by pretty much everyone on here.
Don't get me wrong, he sure has the talent but he's in a similiar position to all of our youngsters. He doesn't have that special spark. He could easily go down the same road as Nani.
You could say the same thing about Wenger and his Arsenal sidePatience is needed but sadly Fergie has built a team around players that we need to be patience with.
good news that.Obertan will still end up getting more games than Nani did last season.
i know but when look at this thread and hype around him it makes as all look bit too extaticPatience is needed, he's still very young and raw.
Have you seen him for the reserves or France U21's at all?Come on then you cnuts is anyone going to challenge me on this.
You all sound like my fecking mother!
so you employed your sanity and you got told off for that. Typical on these on these boards but that's why i love the CafI remember that some criticized me (Top) for my lack of enthusiasm regarding his signing.What could I do ? I was surprised by it and I knew a long time was needed before we'd see him be a regular player.
I just questioned why you kept downplaying him after we had bought him, and said I hoped he'd prove you wrong.I remember that some criticized me (Top) for my lack of enthusiasm regarding his signing.
YeahHave you seen him for the reserves or France U21's at all?
fixedHe needs to bulken up, the Gym should help and the weights would work. Still needs to be more threating in attack, needs to improve his shooting as we haven't seen him shoot that much yet, he also is tall and should get more headers and also needs to use his trickery to his advantage like the Wolfburg game. I'm convinced that he still is one of our potential stars, we just need to put faith in him like Ronaldo.
For what he cost us I guess we can afford to take the risk. he's a typical young player, good in patches then his form drops off. We need to give him a chance to make the grade and stop all the knee-jerk stuff, "Oh he is going to be World class" "Oh he's never going to be good enough"on topic, im worried now for him that he wont make it, just like the millers, djemba djumbos and bellions, but i hope i am wrong, he seems a likeable chap.
All in good spirit Top, I was really surprised by this signing and as a player he never kept my attention (as much other promising players did in France) before his signing.In the few games he's played for the senior team, I saw things that I liked and others that will take time to work on.I just questioned why you kept downplaying him after we had bought him, and said I hoped he'd prove you wrong.
I would be the last person to criticise someone for having an opinion on a new player when it's based on what you've seen yourself, considering how I didn't rate Valencia based on how he played for Wigan.
Add heading to that, as he is kinda tall.His biggest problem was that he can't kick a football, but apart from that very promising I thought.
If he can develop his crossing, shooting technique.. he has a chance of making it.
i'd say the anderson and nani threads are worse.This thread represents everything wrong with this forum.
So he probably should have chosen another sport eh?His biggest problem was that he can't kick a football, but apart from that very promising I thought.
If he can develop his crossing, shooting technique.. he has a chance of making it.
