2 points from me:

Souness - Read that article.

The one that got away - Aguero

I do believe that 'The world class star in the making' that we narrowly missed out on in 2007 is Kun Aguero

Well I thought it was a great read and a brilliant insight.

Good read. I like how Benitez has spare pieces of A4 lying around. I would have thought his office was organised like a German manufacturing line.

REckon it is Pato.

Aguero went to Atletico in 2006.

Tomkins has his critics and rightly so. His articles are somewhat long and sometimes he uses ten sentences to say what can be said in one. He gets a lot of flak from some posters on other forums because of that.

I am tolerant of his writing style. However, even I get irritated by some of his articles at times. Despite his flaws, however, he is a true red and I find it hard to openly criticize someone who is desperate for this club to succeed. That was a cracking article he wrote. He has done his very best to drum up support for Rafa.

Tomkins, mate, if you are seeing this, I have disagreed with your views and articles, a number of times in the past. But for this one you get my utmost respect

And I am so freaking jealous that he got to spend four hours in Melwood

Nice insight and interesting read, although it could have been said in half the length - especially the beginning.

Why do people have such an issue with the length of his articles? These aren't short sound bites he does his best to put his point across in a constructive and informative way and shouldn't be criticised for it because someone can't be arsed to take 5 mins out to read it.
