Moderators Carlos Posted September 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2009 Okay, so because an opinion differs from your own, that means it is based upon youtube or a computer game? Mak played half a season for Maritimo and scored for fun, but that was it.....half a season. Klasnic played well for Bremen for a number of seasons both domestically and in Europe, whilst playing for his national side. There is no comparison between their careers. Mak always had potential and could have been brilliant without his injury issues, but he was NEVER a proven player, whereas Klas was until his kidney gave up and ran away. I have watched Mak play numerous times, so let's not do the whole "we disagree so you must never have seen him" bit. I was disagreeing with the bit where you said "Klasnic was one of the best players in a good league, not true of the players mentioned.". As I pointed out, Makakula was, for a very short spell and in a decent league. That's all, I know nothing of Klasnic. If your encyclopedic knowledge of player's career is through following football rather than Wikipedia then fair play to you. You might be overqualified for here like!

You might be overqualified for here like! ha, na...I just watch too much football. I would say Mak had a period of good form (a bit like Zaki) rather than being one of the top players, but fair enough.....just agree to disagree.

GudniForever Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Has anybody any idea what squad number Klasnic has been alocated?, he wore 17 in his heyday at Bremen but Riga has our 17 for the season. Would be nice to give him the number 10 shirt and just prey he's allowed to perform unlike Smolarek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd give him the no. 10 shirt, but if it's not that, it'll be no. 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GudniForever Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah, Cohen swapped from 25 to 21 eventhough he could have taken 21 at the start of last season when Dioufy left, strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azreal88 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah, Cohen swapped from 25 to 21 eventhough he could have taken 21 at the start of last season when Dioufy left, strange If Megson gave Cohen Diouf's shirt there would have been some uproar about 'evil' Megson replacing a good player with a known rubbish one in an attempt to ruin our club on purpose and get himself sacked from the best paying and most high-profile job he's ever had.

I have watched Mak play numerous times, so let's not do the whole "we disagree so you must never have seen him" bit. So Klasnic was great (proven scorer in a top league) until his kidney issues Well, the reality of the situation is that we bought someone who was "proven" once, but isn't now due to unfortunate circumstances. Even if the kidney issue doesn't affect him now he's not on an upward curve and not really "going places" I'm not saying he won't be a success, but to repeat what I said yesterday - this guy is a gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real gamble. Not because of the money, but because if he doesn't succeed we are seriously light upfront. I am not saying the guy is a sure-fire success, though he has more chance than most of the dregs we were linked to that last week. The two issues are 1) will he stay fit? 2) will the ginger-one actually play him? I completely agree.....a gamble and we'll wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
