[Archived] Sam Allardyce

[CrazyIvan]

RSC and BennyM can't really be compared as they are totally different types of player. Both have exceptional talent and both have weaknesses too. RSC's abilities are probably better suited to our style of direct play.

Sounds just like 'wot I said'. We agree on something else Gordon!

The idea that Benni is better or worse than RSC is like comparing apples and pears. The only similarity is that they are footballers who play up front. Their games are different, the way they play is different and the way they are used is different.

Statistically, Benni has had much the better career. Of that there is no doubt. If you asked me who would I rather have up front (on a day where both are fully fit and fired up) I'd choose RSC but then if you play to Benni's strengths he's a world-beater. RSC has more about his game than Benni overall but his career just doesn't compare AT THIS POINT. Give it 6 years and it might but that depends hugely on if he ever gets fit again!

PM me for a teeny pic of Big Sam at the press conference

[philipl]

Ten out of ten to Sam for how he handled yesterday's press conference. The man done good, brilliant in fact.

[Hughesy]

so there better players than rsc

Benni is yes - check his history compared to RSC

I was talking overall - not just present - it seemed to spark an arguement -

League Career

Benni - Played 271 - Scored 110 - 2.46 games per goal

Roque - Played 235 - Scored 67 - 3.5 games per goal

Benni has been a much better player than RSC throughout his career. Anyone who argues otherwise is plain wrong.

Amen

Brilliant? Come on philipl how can you say he's doing brilliant from his press conferences?

Just for the record I've been very impressed with his transfer dealings so far, not so much the players he's bought in as we can't judge them yet, but more about the way he's gone about things. The Salgado swoop has impressed me no end, from seemingly pulling the his name out of thin air, to laying down the law on the transfer money, that has been impressive, lets hop he can close the deal this weekend.

As for the football side of things we’ll be in a better position to judge that tomorrow, but from what I’ve seen so far we’re going to struggle, time will tell.

Thats not what he said though is it? Read the rest of his comment... oh and I think you'll find Hughes was the creator

[rovers1995]

My brother-in-law refused to sing Sam Allardyce's name last season as he was unsure about him. Then in the friendly against Hibernian at Ewood, he suddenly started singing 'Big Sam's Blue and White Army.' RESULT. If Sam can win him over, he can win anyone over.

Interesting, he sounds like a decent coach.

Really liked this quote in the article: "Kean’s Rovers opportunity came in the wake of Karl Robinson’s somewhat bizarre decision to join Paul Ince at MK Dons and it is a chance the Scot is determined not to throw away. "

Ha, cracking line!

[Dunnfc]

But i was there and proud Waggy...

[tcj_jones]

Not that this really has anything to do with what's been discussed, but the turnover of staff of late suddenly reminded me of one of Ray Matthias's post match comments towards the beginning of the Ince reign where he described Steven Warnock and Vince Grella as being 'the best CM partnership in the Premier League'.

Thank God we are rid of that muppet!

[waggy]

does sam not realise we need a ball playing midfielder,wasting money in wages on a 33 yr old full back when the team is desperate for a midfielder

[Billy Castell]

Know any going on a free then Waggy? Maybe you should enlighten us all.

not my job to know,but i'm sure there will be plenty about,think scholes could be available soon

[Billy Castell]

How convenient. Free wheeling with the critcism and yet barren and vacant when offering alternative choices. And Scholes is about 40 years old, so if he was to sign no doubt your comments will be along the lines of "Why are we wasting money on a pensioner, lardarse is a plank etc."

For the record I'd not pick Scholes as he isn't anywhere near the player he was.

sure was

[Billy Castell]

It depends on their physical condition of course. Scholes is slightly older, and is looking long in the tooth, whereas Salgardo has still have some petrol in the tank by the sounds of things. Anyway, I was not one of the ones cumming in their pants over this signing.

[Kelbo]

Anyone heard anything about Sam getting ###### up at Turd Moor on Wednesday evening???

I am told he was wobbling all over the place!!
