Are you for real? :lol:

He played in Brazil, La Liga and Serie A and you say he has little experience?

Okay, so it's quality of experience you want, not quantity? Yet you dismissed Patrick Vieira due to him 'playing loads' in what was a very poor Ligue 1 at the time. You are just making up the criteria as you go along, aren't you? :lol:
 
Oscar has played the same amount of games for brazil as alfred duncan has played league games. It was a poor example to be fair like
 
Good to see Fishpaste getting angry with more posters who disagree with him

I see you are STILL talking specifically about me. Cheers pettle. Nee wonder my head is so big with all this attention. :cool::cool:
 
Youre exactly right but my argument stands that:

No young foreign player has had an immediate impact with as little experience as Alfred Duncan currently has.

Every player mentioned so far has more experience than Duncan has.

Vieira was only 18 to 20 when he signed from AC Milan.

Where did I say Quality?

Countinhio played more than 40 games before moving to Liverpool, your stats are wrong.

Also Veira played near enough 60 games in a poor Ligue 1 as you say which contained poor players such as Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makele at the time.


:lol: :lol:

MARE
 
How have the goal posts changed? :lol:

2 seasons in Brazil and 15 odd caps for the most successful side in the world is more than a "little experience"

Also a season in Serie A being capped by your country is more than a little experience.

Duncan has had less experience than all the players you have named in debate so far, youre having a mare.



Played regularly in France before moving to Milan. I want us to sign Duncan but the point is that he is a huge gamble and the history of these type of deals tell us he wont hit the ground running.

Okay then, what about Abou Diaby?
 
I've nee idea what arguments are taking place coz I can't be bothered to read it all BUT...

you only get experience from getting a chance and if you're good enough, you're good enough.

Half the players Wenger signed at arsenal came from nowhere to make immediate impacts. Anelka can't have had much experience.

It really makes no difference anyway! I am
Not convinced by him from the couple of appearances i saw for Ghana recently but better judges than me rate him.

He has now but when they signed him he only had 6 and I think they were mostly sub appearances. Also only had 30 club starts to his name too and in a league that isn't really recognised as being easy to move to the Premier League from.
 
Now my point about letting alfie go has a bit more substance

If we sign duncan and he struggles to adapt we'll bench him for a few games, then we're going to have to rely on vaughan, larsson etc who arent good enough

We let a perfectly capable player in ndiaye go

This should be pinned to the top of the board.

If the new structure thinks they are good enough, then sign them no matter how young or inexperienced they are. If they've failed 12 months down the line then twist about it
