Agreed. when he plays well he is amazing. It's just that it doesn't seem to happen very often. .................... another one. George Best.....what's the point in having the talent of a Greek God when you have feet of clay ? Permanently sozzled. ManUre were right to sack him. After an amazing start, his football career became an embarrassment of shyte teams in crapper leagues. Edited by PalazioVecchio (18 Sep 2021 2.46pm)

please give your justifications & discussion. Feel free to disagree with other Eagles on these opinions.
Olivier Giroud ..... World class ? he seems to specialize in wearing the shirt of conquering teams while doing little himself to contribute to the conquest. Pele ...... the Media's darling. He is good, but not that good. Mesut Ozil.....my favourite Arsenal player, 42 million quid of lazy wandering shyte. David Luiz.....another Arsenal hero i love. Always involved in every f..ck-up in the box. Always pointing the finger and blaming somebody else after conceding a goal. what others ? Giroud is was criminally underrated in my opinion, scored a couple of world class goals against us, scored a goal every other game in the prem, even tho probably over half his appearance came from the bench. Will also end up Frances all time scorer tho admittedly he wasn't great when they won the world cup. He never got a fair crack in the prem especially last season with Chelsea.

I'm surprised Harry Kane hasn't had a mention yet. Is it me, or is he really worth £150m? I think there's a lot of hype around him and there's no wonder that Man City walked away. Mind you, after failing to score against Southampton yesterday, maybe even Harry might have helped. A couple of years ago, I'd say yes. Now he seems to have lost a bit of pace and must have only 3 seasons or so left in him. When you add in his wages, no wonder even City wouldn't do it. They'll all be after Haaland now anyway. Haaland looks worth a lot more than Kane in my opinion. There is also Mbappe too. In truth no footballers are worth the price and their wages are also ludicrous.

It was reported that with the transfer, wages and agent fees Harland would have cost Chelsea £500m over five years so they signed Lukaku instead.

If you really think Pele and George Best were overrated, I must be watching a different game or through another pair of glasses! They were both geniuses on the football field, two of the best players to have ever played the game! Shane MacGowan is a brilliant musician. But he fell out with the rest of the Pogues cos he was always drunk. George Best was a busted flush by age 27, when many professional players are just getting going. An amazing talent, and an amazing drunk. Not fit to tie the shoelaces of Messi.

Have to agree with you Palazio - a tragic waste. Bit like Elvis really, although his problems were Colonel Parker and drugs.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |
