Tel, I'm sorry I called you that.
I don't Google so I was just going on only having remembered him scoring once for us. How many has he got? Two? Three? Either way it ain't much for 4 or 5 years as our midfield maestro. If he's been crocked for a lot of that time that's all the more reason to suspect his usefulness.
Do you want me to dig out another, say 30, quotes from Barton from the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous? That would give some context as to how much he should be taken seriously. COLIN? Has he ever actually managed a good team?
I don't know. How long has Faurlin been with us?
Apology accepted & to answer your question's.
1) Faurlin signed prior to the start of the 2009-10 season & won the players & supporters player of the year. This was followed by the promotion season & then the first year back in the Premier. In the Premier he was ever present & top of the statistics for tackles won when he received his injury in Milton Keynes.
2) As I stated in my earlier reply, he hasn't scored many goals for us, five being the answer. A poor tally, but I wouldn't be surprised if his "assists" are more than any other player (that is speculation & not a fact).
3) Has Warnock managed a good team? Probably the Queens Park Rangers Championship winning side is his best, so I would tend to have my doubts that he has. However, there have been a few good players he has managed (including two (good?) players you have named as being better than Faurlin). After decades of managing Football League clubs, Warnock naming Ale as the best player is quite an accolade.
Will Ale Faurlin ever be the same player prior to the MK injury? Almost certainly not, but then that would be comparing him to a time when he was about to play for Argentina.
Again this is only speculation, but i would think that this season he has won more tackles than any other midfield player at the club.
I don't expect everyone to agree with my views of Ale Faurlin as a player, but I doubt if many would find a bad one to say about him as a person.
