Kid started 11 games out of 26 season before last. Averaged 43 mins pg. Scored 3, assisted 1.
Last season: played 31 but only 17 starts, averaged 53 mins, scored 4 & assisted 4.
Obviously I can't see into the future, but if he stays at Rennes (and injury free), I bet he'll play 34 (Ligue 1 has 18 teams) of which 25-30 will be starts, his MPG will hit the 65-75 mark and he'll score 8-10 with minimum 6 assists sprinkled on top.
With rare exception you usually try to play with your best players in their best positions. It's also how you figure out where you can really most benefit from improvement in the ranks. Romero playing CDM is bizarre and depressing for me- the man won the world cup as a CB- why in the hell would we ever want to regularly start him elsewhere?
It's rather simple to be honest:
1. No missus = plenty time to watch football (and yeah...the odd youporn)
2. Got a missus? Make a deal with the devil ie I'll watch a fair bit of footy but in return I'll do most house chores, get you flowers on the regular and no less than 2 posh dinner dates out on the town per month. If she comes with me to the ground, that's a full 3 or 4-day weekend I'll have to spend learning how to knit or zumba. Sex bans can also be imposed unilaterally by her highness, even though I've fulfilled all my contractual obligations and some. That Colo Colo vs Santa Cruz in the Copa Chile better be worth it...
I'm 100% with you, my man. So sick of that bullshit. It's already hard enough for them keepers, give them a friggin chance.
I don't even mind a pen taken right down the middle, especially when it's a defender or guy with limited tekkers.
But them stuttering runs, jumpy shit...that bollock gotta be put an end to sharpish.
Yeah I also just don't think Romero has the ability to play there.
He's an excellent centre half.
Playing central midfield is a lot more demanding, have less time on the ball and the game doesn't play in front of you.
you're really not ok are you?
ok you didn't say word for word verbatim that you "REALLY" wanted him (that I can find) but you've clearly stated how much you want him (those 2 examples I've given above amongst a ton of posts about him).
YOUVE NEVER SEEN HIM PLAY ffs. Do you not understand how odd it is that you can make these claims about his supposed potential when you've never seen him? it beggars belief but crack on.
It's mainly Gerard Houllier's fault that Ginola got abused to that level. Absolutely vilified him in front of the whole world right after the game, then used his media contacts & friends at the FFF (French FA) to completely ruined El Magnifico's reputation and NT career. It was nothing short of a targeted smear campaign led by Houllier...absolutely despicable behavior, all that because he didn't want to face the music himself. May he rest in peace, obviously, but he wasn't the uber gentleman of French football he often got labeled as. Some of the stuff he did to Le Gin back then, he'd have been sued these days.
But in the end we should still thank him, cause Ginola opted to move to England and we got to see him grace the Lane time & again. What a truly fabulous player. And handsome bastard.
Doue has 76 pro games to his name between Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Europa League.
Can't normally be bothered with the past but it was an absolute pleasure to just watch Ginola play the game of football.
Disgraceful how Houllier treated him.
Leave Cuti where he is.
Try Kulu at the 6. He's big, strong, gets stuck in, kid's got a top footy IQ, can defo ping some sweet passes, can still make runs into the box...his lack of pace defo hurting us less there than on the wing.
Brighton just signed a very good no 6 for 30 mill. Mats Wieffer.
We dont want him do we?
Wieffer was seem to be a 8 in Feyenoord. The problem with him being a lone 6 is that he’s a front-footed aggressive player. As a lone 6, doing this can leave the midfield exposed if not timed correctly & the opponent can easily bypass the mid-block. A lone 6 has to have positional discipline & stay at the base.
I really rate Ramsey. Really good ball carrier, good feet, potential to score decent amount of goals. Injuries the only worry and why people have slept on him. they both could play in the same side. Ramsey more an 8.
How dare you question our resident football genius, don't you know through his extraterrestrial tv package he can see into players souls and judge what they're like as people and what their potential is without ever having seen them kick a ball?
Shame on you.
Neto and eze would be fabulous signings.
