Queiroz on drugs?

[Borgsta]

"We are very excited by his signing as we now have four world class strikers," Queiroz told Spanish paper Marca.

"With Rooney, van Nistelrooy, Saha and Smith we've no reason to envy Real."


Hmm 1 world class player compared to Real Madrids 3 (4 if you count Owen, personally i dont). How could he even compare the two?

 

[Dos Santos Aveiros]

Obsessed.

 

[Shinboners]

Of course Queiroz is right. They're all guns and they would p*ss on Real Madrid's pitiful collection of strikers. And don't get me started on Spurs - if Diego Forlan was still at Old Trafford, he'd still be better than any of the jokers running around Sh*te Hart Lane.

Wait until we start playing 4-2-4 Tommy Doc style - then we'll show up Arsenal for the plodding dullards that they really are.

Eat our dust!

Shut Up Glory hunter.

Saha + Ruud > Ronaldo + Raul.
Rooney + Smith > Ronaldo Raul.

Spurs have glory?

If you don't count Owen as World Class how can you count Raul? When was the last time he scored again? For club or country? If he was Emile Heskey he would have been slated by one and all.

Morientes is good, but is he really World Class? Excellent as he was last season I still have some doubts. Could be Diego Tristan II, looked a world beater one season, completely anonymous the next.

Pay Ronaldo though, even if he is still carrying a bit

hmm when else have I mentioned Man Utd.

Thats the 2nd time u have been embarrassingly wrong in a week.

hehe brilliant, keep living in ur fantasy land.

I think Morientes was Madrid's top scorer the season before Ronaldo came, Raul has never been as good since Ronaldo came either. I've nothing against Ronaldo but I can't help thinking that the Raul/Morientes partnership was better than anything involving Ronaldo currently.

Wait until we start playing 4-2-4 Tommy Doc style

That's the way! Have you read Tommy Docherty's excellent ABC of Soccer Sense?? Great book which describes tactical innovations through the decades up to the 70s. It's safe to say the Man Utd team of the Docherty era would have been one of the best not to have won the championship, given their style. The 4-2-4 became commonplace worldwide after Brazil swept to victory using it in the 1958 World Cup, more or less the forerunner of modern formations.

Have to say though the Everton team of the same period (talking late 70s) would fall into the same category- we came close, and had players like Lyons, King, Dobson and Latchford.

Hmmm....players who nobody outside of Everton would ever remember.

Even City had players from the late 70s who are more memorable than those blokes you just mentioned.

 

[David Votoupal]

Well Latchford got 30 goals in one season, 1977/78, and for a while he was among the most feared CFs in the game. Andy King could score some great goals, like the volley he scored vs Liverpool in '78 which ended our 70s derby drought.

Bob Latchford was a fine player. Best header of the ball I've ever seen.

I don't believe so, but i'm happy to let you and your delusions run wild and free. Deep down inside everyone is a Man United supporter.

Did you see these guys play? Or just rehashing something you read in a (most likely biased) book?

hmmm time no. 1

You were obsessed enough with Man United to make a post about a fairly standard comment from a football coach/manager. I'm sure if it was a club that didnt have the stature of United we wouldn't be hearing about it.

As for number 1, an abberatation of scheduling, how many internationals have there been on Fox previously? Do they do this every time there is a break in domestic competitions for internationals? I don't think so.

Now go dig up another stock standard quote.

Real Madrid: March 20th, brace away against Athletic Bilbao
Spain: September 3rd, home to Scotland

 

[moomba]

Anelka, Fowler, Macken and BWP.

The dream team

Now ask yuorself this. Do you genuinely think Queiroz believes what he said deep down, or do you think he's talking up players from the club he has a prominent coaching role at?

Does the latter count? The match was abandoned so would the goal still be formally recognised? I've got no idea myself.

It's down in the record books, so I guess so ...
