          Why are people mentioning Bellamy?? His record of 9 goals in 41 games is hardly prolific
          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

            Kewell when he played for leeds maybe, but when was he fit and on form for us?

              What are the alternatives really? Fabio-10 games a season- aurelio, andrea - I scored a goal against the scum- dossena or Inusa that have only just established himself.

              Besides the last season under Rafa, Riise did a very good job on the LB. He basically lost his reputation because of one very poor own goal...
              That is absolutely not true in the slightest. His form had been abysmal for a long time - the OG was just the icing on the cake.

              Aurelio plays a damn sight more than 10 games a season and is a massively superior left-back.

                    I know - it's putting it slightly on the line, but he does play few games for us, and half the time he plays further up field. I just think it's a bit much saying he has been our best left back looking at his career here so far.

                    I would be inclined to saying Insua is the best so far, but he has just broken in to the first team so still a bit to early days for saying that.

                    But I honestly think Riise got far to much stick in his last season here, and got blamed for way more than he was responsible for. It's a bit like the slacking of Lucas currently, when he almost gets the sole blame for a poor form on most players part.

                      The problem with Riise was that he was neither fish nor fowl - he wasn't classy enough in attack or dependable enough defensively. He was a very good player but he was too inclined to look for low odds long balls and not pass short and quick into midfield and lacked the pace to recover when he got himself into advanced positions.

                      I worry a bit that Insua may have some of the same failings but is young and could well iron them out. Aurelio is much more intelligent in terms of how he covers and times his attacks and is a vastly superior passer of the ball to either.

                        Surely any team that can come back from 0-3 down under Rafas reign, to win a European Cup has to be "THE BEST TEAM"

                          That was the team that went 3-0 down not the team that came back from 3-0 down Replace Finnan and Kewell with Hamann and Smicer

                            Shanks I'd rather pretty much any team from above than that even with the subs, that was just our night mate, meant to be. Good answer though
