Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Why is he an idiot and what has being scouse got to do with it? That city gave us the mel c, Jimmy tarbuck, cilla Black and jennifer Ellison. coming from gene pool that has produced such greats it's a it ignorant to say that because he's a scoucers he's also an idiot. it's also disgusting to mock his nose he cant help it, im sure he'd have it reduced if he could but he cant poor chap. it's no wonder he acts like he does when there are ignorant, judgemental people like you around.

sfc4prem Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 He is a very good player, even though he is 30. He would still be a good acquisition, and would have a couple of years at the top left in him I reckon. Worth it, especially on a "free". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 (edited) He's from Spain so he must be. I think that's how it works these days. Yes this exactly how it works. In the light of watching the Spanish under21's being a league above anyone else at the Euro-u21 tournament (and 2 leagues above England) and our regularly being associated with Spanish players because of MP and Spain basically being out of cash in the main, I considered doing a rough comparative graph to explain it better. For example Joan Verdu is 29 and a decent AM player in a mid to lower level Spanish La Ligua team. As a guide in English players only AM comparative terms he is about the same level as Steve Gerrard. And ANY player from a mid table upwards team in Spain is in general better than his English counterpart in ANY premiership team. Awaits refutation. But the general gist of it is sound. Spain third team ie, put the third choice goalie, rb, lb, cb etc upwards would probably beat England's first team.

Giordano Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Just so I get this right, are you saying that Verdu is better than Gerrard? I was being somewhat facetious for effect because Gerrard is still easily in the top 100 midfielder attackers in the world right now but Verdu is certainly more Spanish, plays in La Liga and that means he is probably better even than top England international Attacking Midfielder James Milner, as wild a claim as that is as well. In fact Milner is a better example. Name one international team in the top ten he might actually get a game for (except England), then see how many Spanish attacking midfielders of better quality exist and see how many of those top ten they might actually get to play for (Spain aside of course). I don't do playstation fifa13 or whatever its called but Im sure MLT knows exactly the stats of how many spain have versus england... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PL is not about how well a player can do on the international stage. Your argument for Spanish players is not 100% valid. Milner on a wet Tuesday night away at Stoke or some supposedly dazzling Spanish midfielder? hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 13 June, 2013 Share Posted 13 June, 2013 Name one international team Milner would get into? The problem with that, is that with any half sensible management he also wouldn't get in the a england side. There are countless better options and England always look better without him. He's not in there because he's the best available player. Azerbaijan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
