Shaun Wright-Philips

Our manager hasn't even bought anyone, so how do we know what his policy is? Rafa on the other we know thinks success is built on having legions of half decent fullbacks.

SWP on the right, Petrov on the left would be awsome !

How much do you think Chelsea will pay for Petrov?

I'd say about £9millon, if they're lucky.

Petrov, for all the excitement he creates, just doesn't score enough goals.

He's going to be 29 soon, and for a player who relies on pace a lot, it's not a good sign.

nah, I don't either

He's more skillful and entertaining to be fair.

Depends what you class as entertaining.

Black Dwarfs = entertainment

He was always like that, even at Atletico. 1 goal in 38 games or something was his record there...that's why I've never rated him as highly as some others seem to do in England.

Seeing a bit of a pattern here...players leave Atletic and appear to become better..coincidence?

Why don't Boro buy Reyes and Luis Garcia and we can test that theory?

We should do, we'd save their careers.

Pierre, let's not be silly here.

if you're speaking about Kalou, Young, Bentley, heck even Lennon, I'd let you get away with this, but Shaun "my 1st touch is a 10-yard push" Wright-Phillips?!

Behave.

SWP has a hard shot and great pace, very little else. He's like a smaller version of Ryan Babel, though he can shoot from the right side as well.

Really though Aaron Lennon is just SWP Version 1.1 beta.

I agree with everything you've said but don't understand its relevance

Why would the fact that his 1st touch is a 10 yard push make him less skillful than Frank ronaldo ?

SWP has a very bad first touch he has a good shot but his crossing is so bad i swear he is just an older version of Lennon

Aaron Lennon has much better ball control dribbling ability & technique, SWP is an exceptional striker of the ball.

Plus despite both being midgets, Lennon being mixed raced is easier to find in the dark

I cant wait for Aaron Phillips to come out.

You really don't rate Ronaldo you would probably say McAnuff was more skillful than Ronaldo

Lennon has no technique he has dribbling skills he just a very bad version of Jesus Navas IMO

How many pieces of skill/trickery have you seen SWP pull during a match ?

I'd agree that Ronaldo has morphed into Thierry Henry rather than the flair player he was when he 1st burst on the scene, but I think the fact that he's had to become like this is a sad indictment of where the games headed, and not necessarily him.

Do you know what ? I would say that McAnuff has better 1st touch and dribbling skills but he can't shoot or cross.

Ronaldo is much taller, stronger, faster, strikes a ball properly with the laces and is far stronger mentally and therefore 50 times better in today's game.

I don't - because I know that people laugh at the person when they can't beat the argument.

If I said he was better that would be stupid.

If I say he's a better dribbler its because the ball sticks to his feet like glue when he dribbles and he can slalom his way past two defenders before :

a) being blocked off by a bigger defender

b) Scuffing/dragging the ball wide of the post

c) Crossing the ball into the stands



ronaldo just gets his head down and runs but he scores goals.


That's modern football - but I'd pay £350 to watch McAnuff 23 times a season rather than whatever United pay to see ronaldo anyday
