HOW THE HELL HAVE DID WE LOOSE THE BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD AND NOT REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE CLOSE TO HIS ABILITY. FUCK!!!
The guy could score from nothing, outside the box with players around, inside the box with players around, freekicks, dribble everyone and score, curl the ball from anywhere and score, the occasional header, assist(set a premier league record by the way).
Ade can only use his head and thats it!, he is more like Kanu but even he(Kanu) assited goals.
Robin is in a way similar to Dennis but THERE IS NO ONE LIKE TITI
I am really sad this evening
We have lost the "something out of nothing" and I have no confidence in this team winning the CL. Fuck what Theo said about "Teams now fear us" because they dont. I remember on the road to the 06 CL final when people wrote us off against Real and Juve, I said "FUCK THEM WE HAVE HENRY" but now I cant say that, why? because I dont know when Robin is going to score from a freekick, if there is a counter-attack I can guarantee Ade wont fucking run or know when and who to pass the ball to.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SOMEONE CURLED THE BALL PASSED THE KEEPER INTO THE FAR POST?[/b]
This is how united felt when they lost cantona, how the scouser will feel when they loose gerrard, how the chavs will feel when they loose fat frank.
I think our squad is really underated by our fans. I know Im gunna get slaughtered for this but I think that if we get a proper CB and a proper DM, a keeper (MAYBE as Almunia is gettin on abit) and we will have a great squad (bearing in mind if we keep our current bunch). And Carlos Vela, the guy is class.
Im not saying he is the new Titi but he will be immense when he hits his peak.
Maybe thats why our fans are so harsh to criticise our strikers, they compare them to Henry. GET A GRIP !!!! Titi was just one of those players that come around every 20 years. He was different gear, I dont think one man can be as influential as he was in our clubs sucess in the current state of european and english football. Messi and Ronaldo cant lead a team like Titi could, the only one that comes close is gerrard.
I don't think our team is under-rated to be honest. We don't have anyone who has the ability which is closed to Henry in our squad. Cesc still have a long way to get closed to Dennis or Henry or Viera. But I think Arshavin could be our new Bobby in the future, this guy is class
I think it is time to be honest and say that this is a mute discussion. Henry will not have the opportunity to score against us in the final as we are not going to be in it. Sure, we are capable of beating Manure in a one off game, we've already done so this year, but not over two legs. Never gonna happen!!!!
