Steed Malbranque What Are Your Thoughts?

With the news that former Sunderland midfielder Steed Malbranque's contract at St Etienne has been terminated after just 3 weeks, i was wondering what neautral thoughts were on this player, for me i like him hes 31 thought and in the twilight of his career.

He is a creator with good vision and execution and cans score some marvellous goals i ask because as he is a free agent he can sign for a premier league club, with the exit of Arteta im pretty sure he could fill the void left by the spaniard for this season at the least, and with money of the wage bill and him needing a club he may be likely to sign on a low contract at Everton.

Do you think Moyes will ;

a/ go for this?
b/ would he succeed at everton?
c/ or would he turn us down in favour of another club were we to make an offer?

 

I don't rate him, over his career he is brilliant at getting into goal scoring positions and then wasting them. He is not great out wide and wastes too much through the middle.

I would avoid.

 

his fitness is gone, when he first turned up at sunderland he was a good player but is so far off even that now it's not worth the punt.

but he'd jump at the chance no question

 

why was his contract terminated?

 

This has confused me.

I thought he retired to care for his son that has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

Lettuce if you're pulling a fast one with this - you're bang out of order.

EDIT: If you're not then apologies!

 

Apparently the story about his son was completely made up, if fact he came out and said it was all bollocks as he doesn't even have a son. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14797761.stm. Not sure why he's been released from his contract now though.

 

That's weird if that is the case. Why on earth would a story like that be made up?

 

-------------------

no lol, was on bbc gossip pages but in other news i saw this its really quite good.

I've got no idea where the original story about his son came from mate i agree it was a totally mental thing to make up.

 

Probably the ****ing S*n newspaper at it again to be honest.

 

I wouldn't put it past them mate as we all know they have form in the making **** up department, and they also like their lies to have that extra element of being really offensive at the same time.

 

Steed is banging on a bit now, even 2 years ago he was completely out of puff by half time at Sunderland. He is slow, lost his touch and lost his sense of direction. Perfect signing for Everton.

 

What this PROVES , is 99% of the media will use any source of information for there stories.And they DO NOT check them out.They are supposed to report the facts, they dont they just make it up as they go along. News of The World phone tappin is just the tip of the iceberg with media hacks

 

It's a f..king stupid name.

 

Look who's talkin
