Utterly Sh*t Players We've Made Look Good

[DB10GOONER]

Fucking Nani. This pubic-haired cuntaloop wankfeatured fucktard one-trick show-pony always looked brilliant against us but shite against everyone else. This fucker can't even hold down a place in a team with Anderson, Carrick and both his Grandfathers Giggidy Giggs and Ginger Mutant Scholes in it ffs.

Mostly agree with

But weirdly, when we were linked with Nani I thought he might be decent for us

Def true that you have a disproportionate opinion of those who perform against your side
many weird transfers have been made on that basis

You take the piss out of Carrick but look at the honours list;

Manchester United
Premier League (4): 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2010–11
Football League Cup (1): 2009–10
FA Community Shield (4): 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011
UEFA Champions League (1): 2007–08
FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2008

So? Does that make him a top player? No. Look at Phil Neville's honours list. Is he a top player? No. One of the best strikers in Engerlish football history, Scum Lineker won what? One FA Cup? Does that make him shit? No.

No point in using honours as stats to qualify a player. There are great players that won not much, and there are average and shit players that filled a specific role in a team that was successful. You could take Carrick out of that Manure team and it would make no difference to them whatsoever.

Pascal Cygan has more PL winner's medals than Steven Gerrard, so he must be a better player than him too!

Carrick has improved and changes my mind slightly over the last two years
but trophies are not a useful player judging tool
Taylor, RWright, Jeffers and Aliadiere all won league titles with us
(did Cygan? Thought he arrived later?)

Cygan joined us before the 2002/03 season and collected a medal for the 2003/04 title win after 18 league appearances.

My mistake, goes to show medals do not always tell the full story
I remember him playing one brilliant game
away to Boro, he was MOTM,
he was generally shite though...

He was indeed. But in fairness, he was waaaaaaaay better in the air than MerteSLACKER is. But then, I'd imagine OneDwarfGinger at 5'4" would be too!

[highburyJD]

Cygan was good in the air, concentration and positioning were his probs
don't want to get drawn into a defence of Mertesacker, who I would always pick

[arseofacrow]

Cygan had a great game away to Bolton 03. Then he went off and we drew a game we were leading 2-0.

Other than that, he was toilet.

[skizz_b]

daniel van buyten. slower than mertesacker and made to look like tony adams last night.

[highburyJD]

to be fair, looking at Bayern's recent record, a lot of teams have been making DVB look good
Lahm is the best rightback I've ever seen, Schweinsteiger and Martinez are awesome,
Alaba is right up there with Ca$hley - prob more to do with that than the opposition

Bayern's shape is pretty much perfect for their players, including vanBuyten
ours is perfect for RVP and Cesc
but makes Mertesacker look worse than he is

Isn't there some history or away games to talk about?
