SikhInTrinity Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Does he talk about any of his other numerous clubs in as glowing terms? I'd imagine he enjoyed his time at Valencia aswell given they reached a champions league final when he was there? What's clear is here he loved the connection he had from his debut with the Holte End which I doubt he had at any other club. He talked up Valencia as much as us on his recent Fantasy Football club appearance. He didn't pick any Villans in best 11 of players played alongside either To be fair, he played with some awesome players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heskey > Totti He could've found a place for Laursen though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 didn't see it but I imagine Ayala was definitely one of centre halfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Someone told me that he said Ashley young was the best player he played with? I asked if he meant just in England and he said no. Surely that's not right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He didn't pick him. He stated on that show that Totti was the best player he ever played with though. I'd say he edges Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Totti is an underrated player in England, probably because of his loyalty to Roma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) he is still scum though. One of the dirtiest footballers ive seen play the game and on a level of Pepe, Barton for actions on the pitch this about Totti not Carew Edited March 25, 2014 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He had Ayala and Chivu as his CB's. With Angloma and Carboni as the full backs. I couldn't find fault in his line up to be fair some cracking players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Carew played in the same team as Mendita when Mendieta was one of the best players in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 **** me thats a horrible team. I know the results on the pitch this season haven't been great but we are better than that one surely?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoguht he might have been gone by January when Big John joined. I went with Beye because of the colossal waste of money he was, but yeah Bardsley would be a good shout too.

Papillon Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ashley Young was quite brilliant when he was here, easily my favorite player in the last ten years. Sure Benteke has a higher level when he is playing at his best, but it's hard to appreciate anything when the rest of our team is so crap. Under MON and when we had Young et al we had a genuine belief of winning every single game at home. We didn't, of course, but we were even odds-on favorites to win against Arsenal at home one season. When did that happen lately? People wanted to see Villa, because we were both a good team and we played interesting football. Sure the current Everton-side is very appealing, but back then we even surpassed them in terms of interest for our team. Young was excellent at challenging the line and whipping in crosses for Carew, just imagine what could have happened if let's say we had signed Darren Bent back then instead of Emile Heskey. Lying nine points ahead of Arsenal at Christmas is no guarantee for a team like ours, but we really had a shot at that 4th spot back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think quite a lot of people expected us to beat Liverpool at home this season actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
