Good work Rod & Pat your on the money except for the Larsson part ( I wouldnt want want his memory tarnished  )


Stilian Petrov would be a first team player in every EPL team with the exception of Chelsea, but most of you prolly havent heard of him. Hes a better player than any of the 14 or so central midfielders on Spurs books (I'm not having a pop here  )

"Nem, Hartson maybe the highest profile player in your eyes but hes actually only our 4th choice striker, hes only playing cos the other 3 are injured."

My point is, that being a relative novice in Scotish football knowledge, he has the highest profile and international experience out of all your players since Larsson left (your only true decent player you've had in the last 5 years)Like I said in my previous post, he ISN'T your best player.

"Stilian Petrov would be a first team player in every EPL team with the exception of Chelsea, but most of you prolly havent heard of him. Hes a better player than any of the 14 or so central midfielders on Spurs books (I'm not having a pop here  ) "

I know you're not trying to have a pop, but come on mate, lets have a reality check here... If Spurs wanted to buy him, we would. Jenas, Carrick, Davids or Petrov??? "You'll be alright"! Gazza went up to your league and use to score 20 goals a season ffs.

Also, if Petrov could fit into any EPL team except Chelsea, surely one of the other big 5 would've come in for him. The big 6 EPL teams all have a bigger transfer budget's than Rangers and Celtic combined (can pay higher wages) they also have a bigger turnover than Rangers and Celtic, and lets be honest if any top 6 EPL team wanted to buy him, he would definitely want to play in the Best league in the world.

Although Celtic have 53,000 season ticket holders (nearly double my team Spurs) you still don't have as much spending power in the transfer market as Spurs.

So lets get things into perspective here.....

Yes, Celtic and Rangers are great British clubs, with great history but because of the pathetic league you play in, you will never be as great as you once were. You play 3 or 4 games each season, Celtic Vs. Rangers x4

Im listening.....

Petrov is great on Champ!

To compare him to EPL (top 6) centre midfielders is having a laugh though. Although I'm not sure Spurs count as top 6! 

Petrov doesn't compare to at least 4 of the yiddos CM's. Although I'm still not sure how Micheal Brown gets a game there with your kabillion or so midfielders you have....

I am going to start a mock auction on ebay...

For Sale. Michael Brown and Andy " 2 Donner Kebabs, 3 chips and a Big Mac" Reid...

I doubt I get any bids over 14p


IMO Vieira was/is a better player than Keane... but Keane was great in his time.....

[madasahatstand]

I'd have Keane although even with his rep. he has a lot of baggage at man u and i dont think he'd be as crazy at Celtic. We wouldnt get much time out of him but the experience he has would rub off on the younger players.
Keanes always said he'd love to end his career at Celtic so if he's willing to come at a cheap price, why the hell not?

Now that's a whole new can of worms....

1) Vieira didn't do it in Europe.

2) Vieira has been poo the last season and a half - although I haven't seen him in Italy yet.

Keane's done it against the best year in year out and just edges it for me. That semi final vs Juve the year they won the treble he DOMINATED Zidane, Davids and Deschamps. It was the Roy Keane show. Never quite saw Vieira have quite the same impact. Close call though.

By the way 14p is steep.....

[madasahatstand]

By the way 14p is steep.....

what about £1.50?

1) Arsenal havent done it in europe.

2) I agree, I watched the Milan Juve game and Juve were terrible... him included

3) Wasn't Zidane injured in one of the legs(games), Deschamps suspended? It was his greatest moment in a Utd shirt

[The Baron]

The 2nd leg all 3 were fit and playing. (Not sure about the 1st leg now that you mention it - but the first leg was a draw anyway right?) Keane played them off the park in my book. They dominated the first half of the first half but after that it was his game. Shame he got booked for the final.

I dont buy the Arsenal weren't good enough excuse. He still should have been dominant in his area of the park. He just hasn't turned up in Europe yet. Some guys are like that though..... look at Cantona.

(Stands back and waits to be abused......)

I heard Ferguson saying that Keanes the greatest midfielder in his generation.... Do you agree? Does Zidane fit into his generation?

I would say Zidane is the best midfielder I've seen.

Keano is a different type of midfielder though. If you were to ask zidane I'm sure he'd say he hasn't played many better than Keane.

IMO Zidane is the 2nd best player ever behind Maradona.

But thats another story.....

Where's Yoda gone?

 

[Nem]

I told him about Yoda's coolness... especially smoking a spliff. But he has decided to opt for the Fonz because of those Citroen adverts
