Jelavic move vindicated?

[maccavennie]

I still love winding up my inferior RS mates up by saying Jelavic is a better slotter than Suarez. I can argue that all night with a straight face. I even txt someone that last night after claiming he didn't miss the ball but merely assisted it to Marcelo for an own goal.

It wouldn't have been a goal without that touch. Worked hard as usual.

How about anybody who hasn't scored 25 goals in 3 seasons for 2 prem teams?

20 goals in 59 Premier League games, and that ratio will only keep getting worse the longer he's here.

He's still a lower level prem player. So I can think of lots of players who are worse.

Sorry, just saw this now with this thread being bumped...

How did you love John Spencer? Even as a younger blue, he scored 1 disallowed goal...

Joe Max Moore was a decent, hardworking, player and was underrated in my opinion. He scored some fantastic goals, and played wherever he was asked, including Midfield for a while.

But for some reason, there are a fair few of our former players who get retroactively and unfairly labelled as crap by some people. It seems its almost the cool thing to just dismiss them offhand, so they where crap because they played in bad sides. Joe Max Moore, Carl Tyler, Slaven Billic, Marco Metterazzi, Mikael Madar, Allesandro Pistone... There's more, but these are the ones that always annoy me. The players that it seems are cool to hate.

Because I was young growing up with the teams I did any players who seemed better than what I was used to I liked. Back when I was like 7 I really wanted us to sign lars boheman from Blackburn. Based on exactly nothing at the time!

Point is now in my older state I can see the John Spencers of the game forwwhat they are. Take Duncan out the equation though and my favourite ever striker from when I was a kid was amokachi.

Last night Brazil were caught out by his poo-ness. He completely scuffed what should have been an easy finish from a great cross. Lucky for him that Marcelo was concentrating on the whopper t*ts on the bird behind the goal and not the ball.

Oh, $hi t, I missed that and I've deleted the match.
