Gazza_8 233 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Absolutely. But then, others have come in and performed reasonably and actually scored Look at Torres. World class player but couldn't score in a brothel full of fannies at Chelsea. It comes down to the type of player you are more than your ability I think and the way the manager want his team to play. PS In no way am I saying Torres is anywhere near as good as Beattie before everyone jumps down my neck. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some will adapt to changes better than others. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Fortunately we've been lucky with our CB replacements. Cuellar - > Bougherra -> Goian. It could've been so much worse ie Loovens! Weir, Ehiogu, Cuellar, Bougherra, Goian, Bocanegra, Wilson and even Bartley and Perry. The quality of centrebacks the current and previous manager has brought through or brought in to the club has been superb and even when we have lost a star performer like Cuellar or Bougherra, the change has been seemless. I said this in another thread a while back but it is possible the biggest difference between the old firm since Smith has been back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
