Popular Post carmine Posted November 10, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) West Ham originally, then Chelsea, then Liverpool I think (with a loan spell at Lille) I know who he has played for. Was asking who signed him on at Liverpool. It was the "Hodge" i believe. He's also responsible for their defeat to Anzi earlier in the week.

Sorry, that was Roy (apparently) but who really knows at that stage the Texan bozos had the place in panic mode at that stage, not sure if Roy would have signed him if he wasn't on a free, but 5 years was a bit mental considering his injury record.

Desperate times..... Thanks 4 answer. Guess on a free you can understand someone taking a punt. He did used to be quality. Strange the way different players deteriorate at different rates. Their careers are short enough as is, you would have thought each and every one, barring those who have injury problems, would do everything possible to make sure they stay at a reasonable and competitive level right up to 35. Guess a lot of them get distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have an ideal position that suits him and slots in well to a balanced side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangrakBob Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Well after 14 years of top flight football in various teams I'd so no, Carmine. No doubt he has the skills, but even with a league wining Chelsea team full of players to compliment his style and skill he was let go. Maybe injury did him in, and I think now his confidence is shot for good. He said he wanted a chance, Rodgers has given him a chance, but both his last two displays were beyond ordinary, especially Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know redknapp wanted him a Spurs but i could never see how he was going to accomodate him. Mindyou, i doubt Redknapp did either. He was probably doing an under the table deal with Joe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Who signed him? christian purslow did. deal was done before hodgson arrived and was done by purslow despite rafa benitez telling him it was a bad idea as cole was finished and too injury-prone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I would of taken a point before the game, Chelsea have looked a dangerous side this year and will be up there come the end of the season. Pleased with our response from going 1 goal down and getting back in it at the bridge, we slowly changed the game in the second half and we might of nicked a win. Enrique finally showed his form, at long last! One thing I will say about Rodgers in the past few games, is if he sees its not working he hasn't been afraid to change formations or make a couple of personnel changes early on second half. Still a lot of work to be done especially with our tempo to the passing and that final ball. I am concerned that we don't seem to have any other goal outlet other Suarez. I can't pick one other who might get is a goal at the moment. Edited November 12, 2012 by Devil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think Chelsea are the best team in England at the moment. The trio of Hazard, Oscar and Mata have been talke about endlessly yet we nullified all 3 to the point where they were simply not effective. If we had some more firepower and guile up front I think we would have won yesterday but given what we have I think we can come out of that result feeling positive. It's now a case of waiting with baited breath to see what happens in the Jan transfer window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he turned over a new leaf? yes, he's even burned his klan hood. if you're referring to the one that took out brave john terry's knee that was no dive, that was a public service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just how can someone say Chelsea are the best team when they are in 3rd? could see chelsea taking the title if they sign a goalscorer like falcao in january, but think that the combination of united's goalscoring options, ferguson's experience and their favourable relationship with referees will probably get united over the line this season.

Chelsea where 7 points clear of United a few weeks back. I agree, although I hate too....I reckon United will do it this year. The only thing that might stop them is too many games and they are being scored against. it's just at the moment they can score more in a few minutes than most can in 90 minutes.
