[Archived] Salgado

[sambo]

I think if Ruud Gullit speaks before Salgado has chance again, Salgado is going to destroy him. Asking for trouble.

[Flopsy]

Did anyone else enjoy him being put in his place? He must have thought he was the big 'I am' when he came on after a decade at Real Madrid, only for the Blackburn End to question if he was Tugay in disguise. Gold.

Put in his place?

Why, the only people bigging him up was us lot on the other thread. Unless you think it was him posting.

But if you want to be a vindictive oik, go ahead, he knows where you live

[T4E]

I cannot recall a year where our marque signings were considered unfit for duty a month into the season. RSC, Benni both hit the ground running, so why we must accept that a bloke who cost 6 million and one who spent 10 years at Real Madrid need mollycoddling is beyond me.

Neither Benni nor RSC were out of contract, and as I recall both signed much earlier in the Summer than Salgado did and thus got time pre season to get to grips with the rest of the squad etc.

Salgado signed after the season has started, and as much as I'd like to see him playing in my opinion Lars Jacobsen has been absolutely outstanding and should be one of the first names on the teamsheet at the moment.

Sam has done an excellent job with the defence this Summer.

No. Why did he need putting in his place? Weirdo...

If you do not mind can you please tell me why he was there and if anything interesting was said.

he was on the champions league panel and whenever a player was mention his answer was always like "he is a good player" and he talked about wanting owen to stay another year at madrid......can't remember a lot but he was funny, he was constantly grinning!!!!!!!! he spoke as gooda english as strachan and guillit

That's because he went to Margate on a school trip and his sister-in-law is from York. He likes speaking English and has always wanted to play in England at some point.

in fact his english was probably better

[rebelmswar]

Wonder if he was brought in for PR values as well as his massive amount of experience.

Either way him talking us up can only be seen as a good thing.

Thanks for the info by the way, I do miss Sky Sports quite a bit.

[nellybc]

when they were talking about the madrid game last night he kept referring to them as we, which was a little worrying at first.

When richard keys asked him about conceding goals from set pieces in spain he just basically answered we would score 2

he was then asked if he had practised set pieces much at blackburns training, his answer was that not only do we fight for every point, we fight for every ball.

Gotta love the fella

I'm really quite disappointed that I missed this.

[S15]

Salgado just fights.

[DanLad]

Salgado just fights.

Salgado doesn't fight, everyone who opposes him just loses.

Sam has done an excellent job with the defence this Summer.

And remember all the moaning when Sam signed Jacobsen? "A reject who couldn't get a game for Everton, on a free,too old, always injured etc etc". All these things were said and more. The manager is paid a lot of money to know more than we do and is performing.

[Hughesy]

Managers buys so far -

Diouf - Success

Givet - Stunning success

NZonzi - Success - very promising

Jacobsen - Quality freebie

Chimbonda - 2 games gone, looking very good.

Di Santo - Not had enough of a chance yet to prove what he's got

Kalinic - As above

Salgado - As above

[thenodrog]

hughsey you can put a plus to anything lardarse does,salgaldo is a waste off money

Wrong waggy. Your anti - allardyce bile has just rebounded in your face again ......... If Salgado turns out to be a waste of money and hardly plays then it's cos Jacobson, EHD, Nzonzi and Chimbonda weren't. Obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse to anyone who can think things through logically don't you agree?

[John]

But I also think Michel can play in other positions as well, which could be important for us

[Wild Irish Rover]

Whoa boy.... have you read the script? THIS IS THE PREMIER LEAGUE - NOT DIVISION ONE OF THE FOOKIN COMBINATION

Please, please someone tell me this guy has more on board than has been woefully demonstrated this afternoon at Goodison. Out of position (loads) nutmegged (several times), slow to get back (constantly).

Here's reality for you Mr Salgado - if you ply your trade in the PREMIER LEAGUE you need to do more than live on your reputation - you need to BE YOUR REPUTATION,

As a second string club we cannot afford to carry dead weight. Michael, for all your track record and reputation, you were a large DEAD WEIGHT today..

Shape up or ship out!

[John]

It was a shocking performance and you would hope he can only get better! However, he has never been that quick, so lack of pace is always going to prove a problem for him in the PL.

For me, Jacobsen should start when back fit, with Emerton as back up right back if necessary.

[T4E]

I fit it incredible to think Sam actually signed him to play RB. Surely he had a different plan for him?

Only problem John, if he's not considered for right back then why sign a 30-40k per week back up? I can't see where else he'll play.

Edit: Tugs' reply beat me to it.

[Tris]

How anyone who saw Salgado get roasted by Bolton's reserves on Monday night could consider he was ready to start in the Premier League 6 days later is beyond me - especially when the ready made alternative is Emerton and he was apparently fit enough to make the squad.

Ditto Kalinic. He clearly is a mile off being ready for this league (he can't even control a moving football from what I've seen so far) - so why did he come on instead of Benni McCarthy?

Are the people who said they saw the manager at Leigh last Monday sure it was him?

[RibbleValleyRover]

All i can say is i hope his performance shocker was a one off otherwise we have wasted the money (wages) on a past it defender, when it could have been spent on a new midfielder.
