The La Liga Geriatric 11

[diegomessi]

who is the managercoach of this team

 

[Cal-FCB]

Tamudo was cast aside by Espanyol for a large chunk of this season due to behind the scenes bollocks, whereas Henry has played plenty of matches nd been awful for most of them, as has Raul who despite scoring a couple of goals generally ruined Real's build up and attacking play. I'm sure there must be someone more regular to pick ahead of Baraja but still a very good list Nolan :beer2: Pires has been very good in period this season, especially at the start of Villareal's revival. On that basis he certainly should not be on the list IMO.

Well, have you ever ... !

wtf?!

 

[Valon]

I cannot stop laughing at that pic Gneg.

 

[Raed]

I do not get Gnegneri's picture.

It was evident as daylight that the only thing that inspired Henry was his desperate will to win the Champions League. He was going to go downhill to his real level of footballing ability once he has done that. While his hand ball helped France advance to the World Cup, he did jack shit and in fact played worse than ever in his International career, and his Barcelona career has really never been this poor. Even in his first year.

Well the list is all relative to their former form. In that context, Senna and Palop do seem like they have dropped quite a bit.

Exactly. I tried to avoid middle of the road players, mostly those who are shells of their former selves.

Yeah, I know. I said he played some good games for Villarreal this season.

But if you take the quotes of Raed en Furia, I would certainly put Pires for Guti. Guti, the games he played, and especially was allowed to play up to Alcorcon, were to be honest very nice. He even scored one of my favourite Champions League goals of this season.

Pires now has the body of Raul but he stil has (sometimes) his footballing abilities.

 

[House of Flies]

hahaa. that is an awesome picture. and the fact that he is the special guest is scary.

 

[Gnegneri]

Palop isn't only part of the geriatric category (welln he isn't really cause he was saving one after the other) but he is also going plain mad.

Being hurt by someone handing you the ball. Even Dani Alves wouldn't dare to pull that one off.

 

[beef-supreme]

Gneg you are a legend.

 

[Antimilan]

Palop should be removed from that list... quickly

 

[veryfatchocobo]

Aouate or Munua should be the goalies...

 

[Gnegneri]

Just as a reminder, both men are 30+.

(I like it how Henry pushes the ball against Palop's chin, Thierry runs away and Palop catches the ball! Tricked!)

You've got lov....brilliant eyes, Gneg.
