Croqualini is playing in a league that suits his skill set and is therefore excelling.
I wonder how Konchesky will get on in the Blue Square league?

Yea, skillful players are all shit in this league, so despite all his assists, it was a good decision. I mean imagine if he'd have been in the midfield today, we'd have been bullied right off the fucking park.

So you reckon that Aqualini was a great success and well worth the £20m we paid for him then?

His signing was a major error. Which has now been compounded into a massive mistake by getting rid of him when the alternatives are so poor.

I can't disagree with that Darkster.
But if you were to listen to some people you would believe that we would be topping the league if we we had held onto Alberto
[/quote]Who's saying that?
This fucking bollocks that the league doesnt suit him is crap. He plays in a league where Materazzi, Cordoba, Davids, Gattuso, Chiellini, Stam, Almeyda and some of the most aggresive physical footballers have ploughed their trade.
He scored goals and created goals in the few chances he got here and the only arguments for getting him off the wage bill were A)Cole would be an improvement and B)Hes always injured.
Well heres the facts, Joe Cole has been shit and Aquilani has been fit.
We've created fuck all and are drowning in a sea of mediocrity and he is playing pretty much every game and scoring, creating and winning consistent plaudits.
It was stupid to sign a player who wasnt fit for 6 months, it was stupider to not play him when he was and it was fucking retarded to loan him out and replace him with Christian poulsen.
We might not be topping fuck all with him here but we would have three players who can actually do something instead of two. Who the fuck wouldnt want that.
