tottenham2k7 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 harsh comments about managing spurs yeah ill be playing as go ahead for two reasons, the name and overmars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erol Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Go Ahead is one of those clubs that used to play quality football and is now struggling in the dutch first division, now of course they were playing decent football twenty something years ago. Paul Bosvelt was also considering to play for Eagles as well but then he caught an injury while training with eagles, or so I believe. Managing Eagles will be fun, they signed two strikers who are both two meters tall (Mathias Ranegie from Sweden and Sander Post from Estonia). Overmars played fairly well the first matches but at this point he is not as exciting as his name suggests. Bit sad, but then again the opposition always dedicates their fastest player to mark Overmars. All in all, Eagles is one of the few real cult clubs in holland.

Unbelievable. How does Ljungberg get on the bench? Seriously, and I ask this as an Arsenal fan, what the hell did he ever do apart from play well in 10 games at the end of the 2001/02 season? I agree with Winterburn ahead of Cole - Cole is a right so and so. Winterburn had a far better effect on the club than the venomous Ashley Cole. It's very tough between Sol Campbell and Keown, really is. On one hand, Keown was more consistent and could actually pass the ball, whereas Campbell was a far better tackler. Seaman, Winterburn, Adams, Keown/Campbell, Dixon, Overmars, Fabregas, Vieira, Pires, Henry and Bergkamp for me, so the above poster has it spot on IMO. Subs; Lehmann, Clichy, Toure, Keown/Campbell, Petit, Parlour (say what you like about Ray Parlour but he's versatile, consistent and a generally very good player - that and also I can't think of any other very good right-sided players under Wenger) and Wright.

pelicanstuff Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ljungberg was pretty good from when he signed right up to 2003-2004. His scoring record was very impressive for a midfielder and his understanding with Pires seemed telepathic at times. Don't knock him too much.
