No-one is saying that tho are they!?
People like me are just reserving our judgement till such a time that it is fair to judge. ie. next season after a full pre-season.
Im not saying Makoun isnt great and wont be great. I actually agree with you that in the same vein as Downing, Makoun will benefit from a full pre-season and should only be judged at the end of next season. I was just saying that it is silly to make these judgements of him based on 1 decent performance against Utd, then blow him up to be some world class star like people tend to do.
Or better still we can pile the praise and pressure on their shoulders and watch them crash and burn when they dont live up to the world class status given to them buy fans wearing claret and blue glasses...
Like who? Petrov looked 10 times the player Makoun is the final games and I wouldn't put him as better than the best? People are making judgements on a player on one game for us and a couple for his previous side, madness? Berson had a couple of good games for us, didn't make him up there with the best.
I think Stu was talking about Albrighton?
But i do agree with you in the sense that people are too quick to judge players and turn them into world beaters.
We are not the sty dwellers but the mighty Villans!
What was in Randy's five year plan? To finish 9th? I didn't think so?
Spuds and Everton have both acheived CL spots and have not spent as much money as us. Why not dream! With a good manager we could achieve top 4 and once you are in it?
A bit pedantic i know, but Everton didnt actually make it in to the CL. :winkold:
The game that started people saying he was this and that, that he would be off at the end of the season to Chelsea, Arsenal etc etc.
The sun even shines on a dogs ass some days!
People on here are too quick to make something out of nothing, like at the start of the season when people were claiming Albrighton was the best crosser of a ball in the league.
edit-Just to clarify Lex, my post is not aimed at you directly mate.
Going to Spain tomorrow, first time on a plane for the little'un. Cant wait to chill out with a few bottles of beer and a book on the terrace.
Even managed to sneak the golf shoes in the case!
Come to think of it, speaking from experience I'm inclined to agree.
You were getting banged all ways by another fella?
No silly, he was banging Hanky's missus all ways.
