Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
If Liverpool didn't pay the full 17m because of Crouch and got starting right back and if Zhirkov is really only going to be Cole's backup and possibly not even be ahead of Malouda for 18m, then it has to be Johnson doesn't it?

Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
I think the Owen vrs Vassell one has potential
Both formerly quick, injury prone, midget England internationals, unwanted by their previous clubs and available to the first takers.
Which club has made the best signing ?

Tosic and Llallic (£16m) vs Wilson Palacios (£12m)
why did Ferguson spunk £16m on a pair of unknown, unusable kids when the team and fans were crying out for Palacios?

Johnson is the better signing but still a big risk - they haven't had a really good one since Barnes.

Liverpool and Chocolate don't go well together.
Sissoko was more than decent and got sold at a profit though.

Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
It is very fashionable to go for Jonny Foreigner because we know less about them. In this case though, I think its justified. After Arshavin, Zhirkov is far and away Russia's best player.

I've not seen too much of Russia, but I thought Anyukov was just as, if not more impressive than Zhirkov in the Euros. I know Akinfeev is highly rated also.
I like the look Dzagoev as well. Imagine he will end up in the Premiership as well, or possibly the Bundesliga.

Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
He is definitely one of their best and most important players, but I wouldn't say that he is "far and away" above the others. Anyukov, Akinfeev, Pogrebnyak etc. really aren't too shabby either. Russia have a strong team.

Pavlyuchenko is better but was knackered last season.

Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
I'ld kind of understand the voting results if the question would have been: who's the best right fullback?

Denial is a river in Egypt Coops.
Roma wanted Pav before Huntelaar.
Stuttgart wanted pav before Huntelaar.

But it's not. It's who's the better signing, and Johnson will make more difference to Liverpool than Zhirkov will to Chelsea. Guaranteed.

Sure they did TS Then they realised they were dealing with a Jew, wouldnt get the cheap and cheerful striker for cheap so have gone for a better striker who will cost them what he's actually worth
I've never seen such shite written so many times. "poor highly paid footballer has to play football again this week"..how does he cope??? Give him a can of red bull and tell him to get on with his job the lazy fucking c**t

Re: Glen Johnson vs Yuri Zhirkov
Beg to differ no way that's guaranteed. There were other options than Johnson. Johnson is not 1 of the top right wing players in the world. Zhirkov is 1 of the top left wing players in the world.MadVillain wrote:De Guzman wrote:I'ld kind of understand the voting results if the question would have been: who's the best right fullback?

Liverpool needed a right fullback more than Chelsea needed a Zhirkov like versatile player, but that dosn't make Johnson a better signing than Zhirkov.

Anyukov?
He's fantastic at timing when to get forward but with the ball at his feet I don't think he gets anywhere close to the ability that Zhirkov has.
Akinfeev is a fantastic player but I was really only talking about outfield players.
