As for the statistics, it is true he didn't make that many starts etc., but in my mind his goal tally wasn't what really pissed me off - it was his general match-play.
As for Kezman, the guy was prolific in Holland (as was Ruud) and now he's off the mark it wouldn't surprise me if he weighed in with a fair few goals. Goal-scoring is all about confidence and the guy undeniably had it yesterday to take that penalty in that manner.
On a side not, everytime I see Robben play I get pissed off a little bit more. That bloke should be a United player and Giggs' heir to the left-wing throne, but for the cretins on the MUFC board.  |
I thought Forlan was a good player. Probably not United class but he'd do for our bench. His confidence just went to shit near the end and it killed him. The guy has quality though. I saw him play 4 or 5 full games for Uruguay and you wouldn't believe it was the same player. Hasn't done too bad at Villareal either.
As for Kezman, my brother brought up that Dutch league stat too. Forlan scored goals in Argentina and didn't here. Scott Booth scored goals in Holland and he was crap. Dutch league records don't mean shit if he can't score here (see Forlan again). RVN done the business. Kezman hasn't.
And yeah, I want Robben more now too. Stupid fucking David Gill.
And for Dazz, my Chelsea mates aren't sold on him either but they aren't sold on Drogba either. They don't care though because you'll just spend another £40 million on strikers next season "because you just can".
