It's not the greatest of leagues to finish his career in but it is a fresh start at a club playing in the Champions League and with the World Cup at the end of the season then the extra game time will come in handy.

Souness achieved fuck all as a Manager in England apart from winning the FA Cup and League Cup.Hardly worth writing home about is it.As has been pointed out we were offered £3M for Lake but the offer was turned down as Kendal wanted to build his team around him.I think that in itself speaks volumes about the player.Then again not good enough for you.Not at all. Seriously, why did Lake, and the other youngsters of that time, Brightwell, Redmond, White - why didn't they attract the very best teams? They were all good. I saw them all. Home and away. I'll tell you why: they weren't good enough. Lake included. Paul Stewart was though. That's why Spurs paid big bucks. Because they thought he was medal-winning material. And then Liverpool subsequently agreed. He won FA cups with both. So what stopped either of those clubs buying Lake? What did they see in Stewart that Lake didn't have? Or maybe, Souness knows less than you?
You wouldn't classify Kolarov as a legend, eh? Boy, that's a pretty controversial take. Might want to keep that one to yourself...
Controversial opinion but it is a slow news day.

Souness achieved fuck all except winning two more trophies than nearly 95% of managers in the last thirty years. Yep, good call that one. And Kendall was so certain a Lake-led team was going to win stuff, he fucked off to Everton! Lake is all about what could have been. Sorry, but he was nowhere near a great player. And 110 games and zero medals confirms it. Night night.Souness achieved fuck all as a Manager in England apart from winning the FA Cup and League Cup.Hardly worth writing home about is it.As has been pointed out we were offered £3M for Lake but the offer was turned down as Kendal wanted to build his team around him.I think that in itself speaks volumes about the player.Then again not good enough for you.

I was at that Villa game he went down to the right of the north stand I was stood in the top left hand corner of the Kippax. Gutted for him he would have gone on to be a legend.Do you know anything about Paul Lakes history ?? If you do,then you should be fucking ashamed of yourself for making those ****ish remarks.

Agree. He has had his moments good and bad, but the time is right for him to move on and I too, wish him well

Someone mentioned lLake so I committed. Is that OK with you pal?This post should be left here as the second post on the thread, all the Lakey stuff has no real place here.
Legendary status tends to be about what you give to the shirt. Not what you happen to win whilst in the shirt.
I am not a Kolarov hater and have defended him at times on these pages, but there was a reason why for our first trophy in the premiership era he was replaced by a make shift Left back for the final and then a replacement left back brought in for the following premiership winning season
If he goes he goes with my thanks and best wishes but no one will remember him accurately as one of the better players during our recent success.

Exactly one tenth of what Chelsea would get for him were he to be sold by them.
North stand and he got sussed and had to make a quick exitMain stand
When he is good he is really good ....when he is bad he is almost Fronzeckesque
Exactly, but comes across as a great bloke, if he goes the dressing room will be missing a top and respected man.

I know what you mean - I guess that a lot of the reasons why we appear to get lower fees maybe down to wages - Aleks will be on top dollar and so of the players sold by Chelsea ( i.e. Ake ) I don't think will be on as much......so if we want them off our books we have to sell at a lower price in order that the difference helps other club still pay what the city player expects.....that's my guess anyway
