It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[Neville Kneville]

He loses concentration all the time - especially at the back post - he is not a centre half by a long chalk

I thought that was a prerequisite of getting the job ?

I think he loses concentration because he's played FB all his career and finds it easy most of the time. I think he'd relish in a new role like CB or more likely DM. He would love to be Pep's latest project.
Just my opinion and I might be giving him too much credit

deary me....... although entitled to your opinion that is one of the craziest player analysis I’ve read on here!

Why? He was the ultimate speedboat without a driver. He was definitely the most expensive full back in British history when we bought him. He may have been the most expensive full back in work football. He was no where near that level. He was not even as good as Andy Hill, who played on the opposite flank. Phelan was rapid and that was it. He was light years behind players like Stuart Pearce and Dennis Irwin.

The consensus at the time was that Phelan was a poor signing and no where near the money we paid. Its funny how people look back. He was the weak link in that defence.

sorry but i think you are way off - he hasnt got the skill to play defensive midfield either.

Are we linked with anyone in tonight's game who we can look forward to tripping over their own feet & giving away a pen etc ?

the consensus with who? You’re speaking on behalf of those who were clearly of differing opinions to your own.... I mean you’ve just thrown Andy Hill into an already laughable overview...

Alaba! Yes forgot.

If we sign Boateng I'm not going anymore.

It was a different game then, not so much the overlapping full back. His speed enabled him to protect the flank and get back when a player had breached it. I liked him, I remember before we brought him he kept David White quiet and I will never forget replacing him with David Brightwell against Kanchelskis!

Unfortunately one of the biggest myths in City history. Phelan actually played left back in that game Kanchelskis scored a hat trick.

Loved Phelan and David Brightwell was diabolical. But unfortunately Phelan played that game.
