Inspector Lestrade Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Why are we finding faults in Wednesday players? Let's revel in the entertainment they bring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 No wonder people say we’re deluded. Saying a good championship player in ff who was deemed not good enough for the premiership by Watford is better than an at the time good premiership player is ridiculous. It’s up there with the Kieran Lee and Tom lees are good enough to be in the England squad statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant as Forestieri is, Carbone was way better I think we forget: 1 We're in the Second Divison 2 We signed Foresteri from Watford, not Inter Milan 3 When Carbone was at Napoli he played in Marradona's No 10 shirt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Carbone#Return_to_Torino,_transfer_to_Napoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Interesting article here from a couple of years ago about Italian players in the Premier League. It makes you wonder if Forestieri would have played in the Premier League of Carbone's era, and likewise if there would be a place for Carbone in today's Premier League. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/29/italy-football-premier-league-gianfranco-zola-mario-balotelli-roberto-di-matteo-rome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Standards in both leagues are much higher now, so hard to compare. I remember Benni coming to ours for Bradford in Div 1 and taking the mick but I’ve seen FF do the same against us for Watford. I think they are both very similar in that they work very hard for the team and can do the job themselves in the final third. Carbone had more of a narcissistic side to him though. If you put FF in that team of 1997-00 he would still have been a shining light for us IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 On 26/04/2018 at 23:42, Robdylan said: Your posts are cringeworthy. Inter did not decide he wasn't good enough. He'd had a great season with Napoli and he was one of Inter's top signings in 1995. He then had a good first season and he was highly regarded. But early on in the following season, he wanted to experience English football. They actually wanted him to stay. You have said that he left Serie A because he wasn't deemed good enough. Yet he then went onto play for Parma who finished 5th in the league. You have also said that he wasn't good enough to play for his country, yet you don't seem to realise that neither Paolo or Fernando had/have been capped. You're either on the wind up for a bit of fun, or you're completely clueless. He’s clueless pal. You are wasting your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be serious? I'm now convinced that you've reeled us all in. I loved Hirst. He was my hero when I was a kid. But during Beni's time with us, he was a bit part player. He was overweight, inconsistent, and he could never get back to where he'd been previously. Not only that, he left for Southampton half way through Beni's second season. Your posts on this subject are utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
