i wish i was mad. if i was, i'd give you props.

but 'keane is better than vieira' posts in 2012....

i doubt even the US soccer fans would bite for that one.

We're not Arsenal, you're not going to learn on the job with us.

He needs to go the Bertrand route and get some football under his belt. Southampton wouldn't be a bad shout.

Fabregas looked ready for the first team 5 matches into his Arsenal career.

Wilshere likewise, MOTM against Barca in his first season.

Ashley Cole was questionable for 2 months then looked class (smh)

Fact is Chelsea haven't ever had youngsters that talented. Admittedly, you can pay what you want for older players, but the kids ain't been on point.

I hope you mean it's larry holmes because they're both retired, because Keane was clearly the better player.

He was a leader of men. Vieira was a follower.

Kluivert>>>>>>>>Van Nistelrooy

You can tell you didn't watch football back then. Who ever argued Kluivert v van Nistelrooy?


It's van Nistelrooy v Henry you epic tit.

 

[ThaPrez]

Van Nistlerooy vs Henry is like Liverpool vs Man City.

yeah, it was never argued because Kluivert was jokingly superior to van Nistelrooj, you got me there.

No one, outside of United fans, would even put van Nistelrooj in the same sentence as Henry. Henry was worlds apart.

 

[Gilver]

Exactly, Prez gets it.

Historically speaking, van Nistelrooy is much better than Henry, just like Liverpool are much better than Man City.
