NB from that liverpool echo article upthread, a reminder that is was that very paper which beget the artist formally known as nult
The no-holds barred yet fairly performed effort against the star player of the team he loves lit the blue touch paper that day and sparked Everton FC into life.

im a little surprised someone better than fulham hasn't bought dempsey cuz he is certainly a good & consistent player (although not top 100 good)
― nakhchivan, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
Depends what you mean by 'better than Fulham' but I can't think of that many clubs that would need him - United could use him arguably, maybe Everton or Villa or someone but they're kind of on the same level.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
players on that list that are 'not top 100 good' maybe number 25

Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to deflect such talk away from his players, although he did concede they would have to deal with the shattering disappointment of eviction from the tournament he rates higher than any other. And Evra, while insisting he retained faith in his team-mates, accepted they need to work out whether, personally, they have done enough.
"We have to be honest and say we haven't been professional from the beginning of this competition," said the France defender. "I don't know why. Maybe one or two of us have to look in the mirror and say we can do a lot better than we have done. Everyone. And I am the first."

― big popppa hoy, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
was talkin first team, available players tbh. Not sure pienaar and dempsey occupy same pitch space, but i'd have niko on left or behind a striker before dempsey
― bloating forecast: ruff swells (p much resigned to deems), Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
really? niko is kinda lame tbrr
kinda lame in that he can't really run, sure, but much more intelligent and technical player. better finisher and better passer than clint.
― mizzell, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
Don't really think that leaving the Fulham first team and going and sitting on another team's bench is what Nakh had in mind.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i guess i could see him at villa or maybe a decent bundesliga side

just looked up info on krancjar cuz i forgot about him completely
Andy September 2, 2011 at 2:52 pm If Krancjar was given a run in midfield, he would be far more effective than Modric. If he was paired with either Sandro or Huddlestone in the centre, it would be ideal. He scores far more goals than Modric, he provides more assists. He has a better range of passing than Modric and is more attack minded.

see, thing is, niko is actually a lot more effective than modric, ito goals certainly and killer balls in and around the opposition box too i'd imagine.
But luka threads everything together from the fullbacks to parker through the wings and into adebayor, and works so much harder off the ball
Niko should prob be playing to give bale a rest, i dunno is he in any way a player that would replicate modric's role in the centre.

Yeah the only time Kranjcar was a straight replacement for Modric was back when we were playing Luka out on the left. He isn't anywhere near good enough to replace Modric in central midfield and if anyone should be playing there in his place it should be Rafa.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 8 December 2011 17:20 (twelve years ago) link
i love niko but wouldn't mind if spurs sold him actually. would prefer he go abroad, he could probably do well in italy right?

tbf it's a stupid rumor, but it's stuck around for a while. I first read it on someone's phone in a bar in Seattle after the Fire's defeat in the US Open Cup final like 2 months ago. the coach was sitting two tables over so we showed it to him and he said he had no idea where it came from. still, I wish it would go away.
