You're right, Rio did as well: http://www.squawka.com/news/rio-fer...fender-of-all-time/938374#uSLsfsjB3pfDlfQc.97
Is it only City fans that make up songs or nicknames for a new signing before he's even scored his first own goal?
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of others who think it, the Gazza one was just an anecdote I remember him saying.
Why don't you start an Italian thread no one gives a **** about it. Oh and Enzo bearzot didn't even pick him for the 86 World Cup and he didn't get a game in the 82 World Cup.
Because it's not a discussion about Italian football. Carmine (I think) said 5ft 9 wasn't much kop for a centre back and I gave an example of someone of that height who was pretty decent. If you hadn't replied saying about how he was overrated it would've ended there...
If I'd just randomly come out with some Italian based info i can see it would be an issue, but we were talking about 5ft 9 centre backs.
Come on guys, typical, arguing over a few inches!! There again, size does of course matter........ for a CB!
Not just the attitude in my opinion. He had raw talent and athleticism but no killer instinct. One of those strikers who would always arrive just too late for the cross. Blueprint of a lower league player I'd say.
I would have said exactly that about josh king. All these young players the man u's Chelsea Arsenal Hoover up have the potential. Bit of a lottery who will make it. I'd give him a shot. If he's filled out a bit too.
