He was a good striker, the injury and Fergie trying to turn him in to a centre midfielder ruined him.Just watching the highlights of the 7-1 game against Roma in 2006/07.
Alan Smith was the starting centre forward that night.
Incidentally, he's still playing now, in League Two for Notts County.
Speaking of Liverpool strikers, Origi.Danny Ings
TevezRemember that bloke that played for that team? You know, the one who played in that position and did that thing? He wore boots and shorts and he was around 7 inches either side of 6ft tall... you know the one.
Didn't he move to Wolves and just get pissed all the time?Roger Johnson
Had that defensive partnership with Scott Dann for one season at Birmingham. In fact I forgot about a lot of that team looking at it.
Given, solano, Emre, Butt, Duff, Dyer ,shearer, Owen.. that 2006 newcastle team was decent on paper.. then you look at the defense and see Boumsong and brambleI recently discovered that Emre Belozoglu is still puttering about down in Turkey. Last time I remember paying any attention to him he was signing for the Barcodes.
Moved to Feyenoord in January I think..Robin van Persie. Is he still at Fenerbache??
Just 3 years ago he was scoring for fun in the Premier League and World Cup.
Ah yes, was talking about out clean sheet run with my mates yesterday and had totally forgotten who scored the goal than ended it, knew that he was a decent player, couldn't remember his name.Peter Løvenkrands. Decent player.
I forgot Kompany existed till I heard someone mention him on a bus.
Pretty much, managed to get relegated three seasons in a row too.Didn't he move to Wolves and just get pissed all the time?
Seem to remember both of them being touted for England at one point.
That's a good one.Solomon Kalou.. can't believe he's only 32 and putting up decent numbers in Germany for Hertha Berlin.
