Gonzalez is the New Vlad

[Delinquent]

As daft as it is to claim that Gonzalez is the new Smicer without giving him a chance, it's equally daft to then dispel the thought that he might be on the strength of an 8 minute cameo role against piss poor opposition.

In short; good start for the lad but lets not get carried away.

you beat me to it

here's that bile he spewed in full the other week:-

Gonzalez is the new....

... Vladimir Smicer.

All hype, zero product (well apart from the copious amounts of it in his barnet).

Good feet, looks the part, lovely touch, 'amazing in training'... Gives the ball away 9 times outta ten.

He'll produce 10 woefully anonymous perfromances in a row and then knock one in the top corner in some meaningless Carling Cup tie, which will be sufficent for all those who've vehemently backed him to tell us all that "I told you he'll come good blah blah blah"

He's gonna frustrate the fcuk out of us all season, every season.

Thanks for that, saved me the bother of doing it.

Ryan is often wrong, here's a gem of his from last season

They have weaknesses.

Mourinho can and will exploit them. IMO, Chelsea are certs to beat Barcelona.

I can't remember what he was saying about Pennant, but I do remember him starting threads on him occassionally last season asking what people see in him, saying he's shyte etc

To be fair to SAR, it was an utterly ridiculous rant by Ryan

[mark1975]

We all say things that are proven to be bollocks, and even if it was OTT, there's usually a point to Ryan's statements. He HAS been overhyped. Christ, it's happening again now because he scored a goal.

For such a young inexperienced lad, he could go either way. He could be too lightweight and go the way of Vlad, or the kid could be the next Zola. Who know's? It's ridiculous to write him off (and I don't believe Ryan was) but this 'I told you so' mentality is equally fcuking stupid, and just plain annoying in all honesty.

There was a 'Predictions' thread here yesterday. I can only presume you're going to dig up everyone of the incorrect guesses in it too then? Yes?

That's far too sensible for him Mark.

you make it sound like he was making some succinct point in a calm and rationale manner, it was a stupid rant

Has it ever occured to you that he dressed the point up in a "ranting" post so that it would be funnier and attract more attention?

Hmmm? Hmmmmm?

No?

Oh well.

How long did it take KT's finest lapdogs to climb back off your leg after the 'Thanks for the European Glory Rafa blah blah blah' post?

I could do without these fools following me about for the next year.

was there any need for it? not really. if he makes ridiculous posts like that he deserves to have them quoted back to him to highlight how stupid his wild assumptions were

Christ, do you actually keep a log? The only person you're embarrassing here is yourself mate. It's bordering on obsession.
