PaulC Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Fernando Torres. He was good but that was 7 or 8 years ago at Liverpool. But he's a player that I don't think would score many goals in the championship and when Simeone brings him on in a champions league semi-final the opposition must be rubbing their hands with glee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a quality centre forward but doesn't seem to deliver in the really big games. If he passes for one of the best strikers in the world then the quality of strikes in football must be at a bit of a low.

He's been terrible at Athletico, totally out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unfair, he is 33 and has had many a bad injury and has been playing football non stop since he was 17. He has done well to last this long, and not join other former burnout wonderkids like Owen, Rooney and Kluivert. He is never going to be the goalscorer again because a lot of his game was based on that raw acceleration over short distances, but I have watched him a bit the past 18 months and he still has a good touch, intelligence and can link up play really well. Still a useful addition IMO. Edited May 4, 2017 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Quote Everton forward Kevin Mirallas will sign a new long-term contract on Wednesday, says chairman Bill Kenwright. The 29-year-old, whose existing deal runs out this summer, joined the Toffees in 2012 and has scored 39 goals in 171 appearances. Kenwright made the announcement at the Toffees' end-of-season awards at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Mirallas has scored four times in 33 league appearances this season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39865817 I just think he is shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a job for life at Arsenal if Wenger stays. Bit similar to Wes Brown being at Man. United for years even after he stopped being first choice.

Its the one thing Pep has got right. At least the Torino president had the balls to tell it like it is. Edited June 10, 2017 by andym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 His level has dropped a lot last 6 months and I'm a fan or at least give him a fair hearing. Can only see him signing for a mid table prem club. Would be shocked if he's still number one for the world cup as at least Southgate is moving on some of the old guard now.

Yes I agree. Green got treated far worse. Not had a top keeper since Gordon Banks in my view. Even Seamon and Shilton made mistakes at crucial times.
