    The reason why the likes of Hasselbaink and Barren Dent won't be remembered as greats has absolutely nothing to do with what they did or didn't win and more to do with the fact their ceiling was a reliable poacher for mid-table clubs - something which is backed up by their lack of international caps compared to their contemporaries.

    Also, here's another reason why tying trophies to a player's quality makes absolutely no sense in anything other than a game of Top Trumps...
    Gordon Durie: 6 SPL trophies, 3 Scottish Cups, 1 Community Shield
    Antoine Griezmann: 1 Supacopa de Espana

    I get the feeling nobody is Googling who Antoine Griezmann is right now...

    I"ve merely stated that he hasn't yet delivered where it matters ... you don't have to be a top class manager to state facts ... he failed to score for the U21s when England were favourites and he failed to score at the Eiros for the seniors ... no argument.

  16. Hence the "could he?" in my OP.
    <doh>

    Honestly. What is the point in my creating posts for intelligent debate when I am fronted continually by this kind of muppetry?

  17. You talking about Skiddy, Bruv?

    I can't see who you've quoted, so I suppose it's that uber tool.

    The muppetry comes directly from your third rate wummery but this thread has backfired on you and not quite the slanging mate you had envisaged.
