I think what people dont seem to realise is that Jermaine is a different type of player to the "better" options of Yossi and Stevie or even Babel.

And this is what people dont seem to understand, every player gets compared to another although theyre totally different types of players. Jermaine gives us something the other players dont give us, hes got pace down the touchline, he can put in lots of crosses (more often than not good ones, but at least theyre coming in) and hes, well, just different.

So to slag him off because he doesnt do this that and the other is bollocks, because he does other things others dont seem to do that well. Stevie and Yossi cut inside a lot, Babel is very raw and still needs to learn when and where to release a ball etc.

This constant bitching about our players, as MARTINOZ said, what do you expect, Ronaldinho on the bench? And thats exactly the way people seem to think, aw ****it, whats the point

yeah but we need someone who hugs the touchline with pace and also contributes more in the way of assists and goals. His end product isn't good enough

It just DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT, and the sooner most of you Football Manager Dreamland Discoboys get that into your skull the better. This is the real world and not fantasy football.

No it's not but would Man U or Chelsea or Arsenal have signed either Pennant or Benny? No, because they wouldn't get in their teams. We have to aim higher or we simply will not compete.

Thats harsh ... I can understand people wanting Kuyt or Momo out the door ..even though they are both good players .. but Lionel Richie's only crime is well hes Lionel Richie and he has a stupid myspace

No need to shout.Well if we have the same crop of players next year then nothing will change.Same players let us down the whole time.

[Nicey]

Yeah and those too ...

Ehh ok

He has played well for us mate .. there is no getting away from it

There is a lot of support for the average players in our squad which is admirable, however if

Kuyt
Momo
Crotch
Benny
Pennant
The Crow

were all 'class acts' then we would be winning the league. We are 5th.

You left out Riise and Kewell.
Yossi is a good option to have in the squad though.
The rest are easily replacable

Yeah sorry, but you get what I mean.

A PL winning side has to have a goal threat from the majority of the front six. Our problem in the past has been apart from Gerrard we have struggled. Even now without Torres and Gerrard we look a little light in the goals for column. Can we win games with Pennant not scoring enough: Most certainly yes. Can someone else do his job just as well: IMO Yossi has proved an able replacement and he scores goals as well. Pennant would be great if we had two forwards that scored but we have only one and as such we need all that we can get these days. Sadly Pennant doesn't tick enough boxes.

[El Diego]

One or two assists and one goal the last 18 months or so. Sorry, but I can't call that top ****ing dogs when you are talking about an attacking player.

He should have scored at least 10 and assisted on another 10 during that time.

Jesus ****ing christ some of this ****e you come out with He's got about 7 assists already this season you idiot

[MARTINOZ]

Seriously - the amount of ****e spouted on here is ridiculous. JP is a great asset to the team, and just because people don't like him because of his reputation is stupid. He is a good wide player, he gets crosses into the box, is pacy and annoys the **** out of full-backs. Anyone that doesn't think so is only doing so because of who he is. We need the man back on the field. Yossi is a great player, but he will never be a wide man. He is more suited to playing an inside-right role, or behind the front men. JP gives a very good different option.


I have to stop posting in here - I will lose my "chat,chat,chat" reputation (if I ever had one).
