Sorry, I've done him an injustice. I've just checked, and he's actually scored THREE goals in his 75 appearances since he left us, not two.
I just do not see what he brings to the table, and this is a case in point. His scoring record is clearly woeful.
So does he make up for that with sheer workrate ? Errrr....
OK, how about getting on the ball and playing some probing, defence-splitting passes ? Hmmm....
What about tricking his way round someone and whipping in an EVIL cross...errrrrm
How about being a focal point to hold up the ball and bring others into play ? Ummm...
Can someone help me out here ? What is it he actually DOES ?
i asked "arthur" that question and he seems to have disappeared since then

I'm sorry, this is quite incredible. You are calling me a pleb for questioning Turkey's international record. Right, let's look at this century shall we. So far, in just 8 years, they've made the 1/4 finals of Euro 2000, finished THIRD in a world cup (2002), and are now in the semi-finals again tonight. Yeah, that's a really woeful record, isn't it? If only they had England's kind of achievement
Yeah. He does that a lot.
Apologies for having a job/life aside from this board!

Ok, they may not have the most consistent history, but what does that matter? How many countries have a better record in the last decade? Probably not that many, and that's what matters. The point was you called their record "woeful." How any of us, currently sitting in a country that did not qualify for a tournament they've reached the semis of, can slag off Turkey I don't know! If Turkey are woeful, then god knows what you think of the majority of countries.

Regardless of what you or anyone else on this planet thinks of the bloke the facts speak for themselves. We sold a player for next to nothing who was then re-sold not very long afterwards for 10X the amount we sold him for. 1 season on he is probably worth 5X that amount! You don't think we f***ed up slightly here?
if your job is so important why on earth are you on nsc at all??

Well that I totally agree with. I just wouldn't call them WOEFUL, because in recent times they've made the best of what they've had. Imagine if England could get as much out of its talent as Turkey does......
