Surely he'd be a more effective Prem player than Pires.

Wouldn't want him though. It wouldn't be on a Pires level of badness, but he's definitely not the player he was, nor good enough at this level any more.

It turned out he didn't even have a son.

Post by: Oscar Arce on September 07, 2011, 05:07:57 PM: That's right apparently he doesn't even have a son, let alone one with cancer.
Who spreads these awful stories ?
>:(
Personally, I think he would be a much better bet than Pires as a useful squad player, if he is available.
He was a regular in the Prem last season and still one of Sunderland's best performers.

Back to football matters, 5 years out of date imho.

Post by: ozzjim on September 10, 2011, 08:46:33 AM: Appetite has gone for the game according to his coach at St Ettiene. Good player, but if his appetite has gone will be useless for anyone.

And agreed on the Gardner front, I want to see him in the side soon.
