The Curious Case of Dele Alli | Emotional Overlap interview (p 19)

Here's another one

Scorer of some "worldies", one particularly, against us.

Andros Townsend.

He just seems to go through the motions, year after year, despite the rise to fame

.....and the other "elephant in the room"


Micah Richards (but injury didn't help)

Did you alter my post? Why?

Yes

So I could call mourinho pathetic

 

[levets]

Yes

So I could call mourinho pathetic

You can call him pathetic without amending my post. It now reads as though I posted same. Please don’t do it again, really pisses me off

Similar trajectory to our own Stephen Ireland.

Great while few expectations and in a team built to get the most out of him. Then gets found out when expectations become higher, or even better players come in. Career fades away.

He was fantastic for us at his peak wasn’t he? - superman in centre mid - that extra work in that Glossop gym paid off for him, his desire to max his talent was admirable.

I shall try and remember not to do so, if you can change your username to Victor M or fun time Bobby it would help me remember you:-)

You mean the "gym work"

What did that "gym work" entail?

A lot of rumors on that one and maybe why his fitness and stamina fell off the cliff?

I don't get this. Marcus Rashford is 25 years old and has 75 PL goals. Unless his career is derailed by injury or he leaves the country he'll finish in the top 10 goalscorers in Premier League history. Already won a few trophies, good scoring record for England.

And yes, he used his public platform to bully the government into feeding school kids, which is about the best thing a United player has done for 50 years.

Not comparable in the slightest to Dele Alli.

Not to mention he’s a brilliant player too. And one that doesn’t particularly come across as a **** neither on the pitch nor off it.

If we were to get a player from the rags, he’d be first choice and it wouldn’t even be a debate.

He's a diving play acting little rat.

Which footballer isn’t?

 

[aguero93:20]

Plenty.

 

[skillman]

Plenty.

All footballers dive/initiate contact. Have done for years unfortunately so it’s not a particular ‘trait’ of an individual anymore.

Yeah, but if you're a Kane, it still defines you. Have you seen how Kane has taken the expertise in this matter to soaring heights?

Agreed. But don't think it defines Rashford as a player personally.

Fell of a cliff, no finer example, ego, money, lazy, gambling, women, drugs , you take your choice.

To get to the top is hard, to stay at the top is incredibly difficult even for the most talented.

I am not sure that any of the above apply to Joe Hart. The only thing I agree with in this post is that to get to the top is hard and to stay there very difficult even for such as Joe. If he were lazy he would have given up altogether, he has the money.

 

[Eccles Blue]

There have been quite a few 'new George Bests' over the years, and it seems to be fatal to their careers to be so overhyped. It's like a writer being called the 'new Tolstoy'. Set up to fail, and for people to laugh at you.

I recall Phil Jones was the 'new Duncan Edwards'. What a joke.

The biggest joke ever. I saw Duncan Edwards play, he was my first football hero (and not just for his looks *lol*) There will NEVER, EVER, in my lifetime be a new Duncan Edwards. Sorry. JMHO

Maybe one did apply to Joe and hence why he still has to play to repay his debts.

If that is so at least he isn't sitting around moaning he is getting on with it. :-)
I have a soft spot for 'our' Joe and feel he has just got on with life and kept his head down and his mouth shut. He could have done a lot of 'poor me' stuff but he didn't and he always has praise for City. That'll do me. :-)
