He aint that quick and certainly isnt anywhere near as good.

Agreed. Its taken to long, he is clearly talented but doesnt fit the system as such, played well today but still IMO doesnt have the workrate to fit in Poch's tactics but has some serious ability. IMO he has the rest of the season to prove it.

You have seen how bad the other two have havent you ? Seriously ? Have you seen them ? As for what you said regarding Stoke, complacent ? Maybe, fresk ? Definately. He, for me is up there easily in or around Niemi as the best keeper Ive seen live for us. Ok, he does a few crazy things but hey, he leads, his reactions are sound and apart from his kicking he is very good. Id suggest you are very very wrong here nicky

This Though I personally think vic missing impacts a lot, Cork is good, V good but Vic adds more to our system. Davis and Gazza are terrible reservists. Boruc leads from his position aswell as being very able in the art of goalkeeping.

Was over in hospitality (I know, free bar though, you wouldnt turn it down either) seemed strong but as far as I saw was his first foul so a tad harsh, cane too soon after their moan about Morgs' foul I reckon.

Whilst I agree, and whilst I believe your a man that knowshis stuff. I think its worth giving him atleast the next 6 months and if we get a big offer then potentially look at selling on. He hassome serious ability, but has the stereotypical foreign playmaker mentality, he works quite hard, but not hard enough. FWIW I think he played ok today, he offered something different from yhe usual take no chances and keep the ball stuff we usually play. At the moment Im v happy that he is an option, he certainly offered more in 30 mins that Lambert did in 90

Were you at the game ? Looked clearly like it ended were he intended it ?

This I said at the time long shouldnt have given him a chance, but he did and Boruc did well, something the other two would have cocked up

Well then the commentator was talking crap

How did Lambert stay on that pitch ? Aweful ! Clynes crossing was off today, other than that he was ok. The baggies came for a draw today, defended well. Cork had a decent game, J Rod looked ok, plenty of effort. Good 3 points Good to have king Artur back

He was bought v young by sunderland and wasted, big big fee if I remember rightly. Big lad, good attributes, hopefully it works for him. Gray deserves some luck aswell, excellent coach and good guy

At certain points yes I agree, personally I think that it is imperetive that we get at least a keeper as the two stand ins are woeful, also and in form yoshi is good enough but for some reason jos is prefered which is v worrying. So in that case perhaps loan in a CB to cover and look at permanent options come summer.

Apart from the fact we dont need a winger or a striker and Bertrand is a Left back ?

Im saying he fits our system, he would fit bilbaos system but not really Barca, they dont really play with a striker per se

I hear you get more bites if you just leave the bait in the water rather than repeatedly casting

This, the tactics still work, its just as a result of our rapid progression we dont have the replacements to our best 11.

Its not exactly Barcas model no, its more Bielsa than even Pep chose to copy. But Im just being pedantic if Im honest. Faxt is Ossie fits us much better than anyone ive seen you care to put forward as an alternative so Im assuming your just trying to make a point, albeit a poor one. I could explain the reasons to you why ossie fits the system but I fear you wouldnt understand and your only on a pathetic troll mission again anyway.

If he is such a talent why has nobody signed him ? Not s if Blackburn are going to be gracing the prem any time soon ? Or are you very wrong again ? Stick to trolling and using pointless stats, this football larks not for you

And others are just ***ts

The one for the freekick ? It clearly was a freekick No idea what Moyes is complaining at

Fox ? Seriously ? Fox ?

You have been on the main board for longer than your doctor advises bear, I think you need to go post a thread on periods or womens nipple piercings or something

True, but he isnt suited to the lone striker role in our system either which is why he tends to play with another or in the attacking midfield 3

As I tend to do most of the time I find myself agreeing with your footballing insight Chezer, shame you dont post more often anymore but I assume like me you find this place gets a tad tedious at times. I am starting to lose a little faith in Gaston though, as much as I 100% agree that he is a top player he just doesnt fit the system nor does he seem to be getting used to it. Id love him to come good and show his true potential, Im perfectly happy to see him stay until atleast the summer.

He might be a bit over the top and aim in on the stupid carp that quite a few posters on here trot out from time to time but he is rarely wide of the mark by much IMO.
