| Quote: J.T " The thing with Cole is he has never livec up to the hype surrounding him as a young player. Maybe an extended run in his favourite position may bring that out in him but I'm not convinced he'll ever be the player he was expected to be.'"
I can understand people's reservations but even last season when he wasn't playing much, he still looked dangerous when he came on. Forgetting his goal, he was the bestplayer on the field at OT in the title decider for mine. Again, maybe I'm being too optimistic but we are desperate for some direction in the middle of the field and to take the pressure off Gerrard. For me, Cole is a great acquisition as he is hungry to prove himself. As Rooney said, he's the closest thing england has to a brazilian, and unless he was talking about his back, crack and sack, I'd take it as a complement!
Quote: J.T "Though I'd still have Vidic over Agger dog leash or no dog leash! '"
So would I currently but I'm expecting big things of Agger this season. |

On Agger, I bet Torres doesn't make him wear a dog leash at training like he does to Vidic every time we play United. ![]()
Everytime?He's had the better of him twice. In 2007/2008 he was in the back pocket. We'll put an extra ball on for Gerrard next time so he can have a touch, either that or if he asks nicely Fletch he may let him tackle him.

In the last 2 years he's had 3 red cards against us and Torres has made him look fairly daft. Surely you can accept that?
We've won two out the last 4 and Gerrard didn't even play in one of them so Fletcher's done well to nail him. I always thought it was Anderson's pocket Gerrard had to get out of.  |

I agree Torres has the better the past 2 seasons, but he didn't get a sniff the year before that,

Djimi Traores won more than Dan Agger. Get real FFS.
Pepe Reina is in the top 3 keepers in the world, whether you like scousers or not. |

PMSL. Even your scouse brothers will laugh at that. Not even top 3 in premiership.
Given
Friedel
Cech
VDS
Reina.
In that order. |

You know I'm not that biased mate but Reina last season was phenomenal. He had a better season than all 4 that you mention, IMO. I'm happy to say that Gerrard was shat and would critique any other player but Reina was magnificent.

I've nevere understood it with Reina, I've never seen a game and thouygh "he kept them in that" or "if it wasn't for Reina they'd have lost" Granted you watch alot more games than me though. |

17 clean sheets in the PL last season would disagree with you mate. That's almost half the games he has kept a clean sheet. I would bet a lot of them are down to Reina's saves, plus no 'keeper distributes the ball like he does.
Quote: Mark "Correct. Best in the Premier League, easily.'"
 I'd go along with that. |
