maybe MON will bring him back to Villa, or perhaps Keano would be interested in pairing him with Dwight Yorke at Sunderland? the possibilities are endless...

only if they are dosed up to their nostrils on crack

there is a humour forum you know:rolleyes:

What a joke. Maybe he could start with 'The Match' on Sky One on Sunday. He hasn't played in nearly 6 years, he must be mad.

edit:// "I know I can still be among the best."

Yup, he's stone cold crazy. That said, the registration for Team Boards hasn't completely finished...

Think of the publicity though! We could get a reality show on Bravo or Sky Two for it! And Des could still leave him on the bench.

Actually the possibilities end there. He's 35 ffs!

Collymore for Villa? ROFL! MON can raise the dead but even he wouldn't touch Stan in a million years. And as for joining Sunderland? More chance of Keano getting togged out himself.

Colly's a mad yoke, always has been (has-been geddit? ) and biggest waste of talent since Gazza.

I have no comment to make on this speculation.

Although, I will say this, I have been approached by an agent of an unspecified 'big-name' player (Who may or may not have been Stanley Victor), but he also offered me a bung of a set of bibs and ten cones for training purposes. I told him to get out of my office right away, that we'd only be interested in young up and coming talent. The bibs and cones I'd take.

Guy:Incognito

I think the angle he's trying to use is that the transfer window is closed till January, so a club short on strikers wont have an option to buy one, so up pops stan.

zAbbo

He was never one of the best to start with, that and it looks like he's gained 4 stone.

3 weeks training in Spain, yeah right, 3 weeks drinking and battering folk, making the front page more often than the back page.

I still can't believe Villa took him for 7mil

// Bitter Liverpool Fan

Pighead

Is it true that he fcuked then manager Roy Evans daughter and then bragged about it in his book?
By the way I reckon he'll end up at Wigan.

Ruu_Old

Ah I guess the whole film career didn't work out for him.:)

Chucky the tree

He'd still be considered a rookie at Bolton.



Yep, true pigman.

el rabitos

maybe forest will have him back

I dont think even Nottingham Forest are that desperate

unless you meant just dumping him in a forest and leaving him to fend for himself...might be a better idea!

^^ one of the writers over on bbc picked him apart pretty handily here

wheres me jumpa

Speaking of The Match, has anyone seen Bosnich on it? Oh my god, my granfather is in better shape. All hes missing is the Hawaiian shirt and hes the ultimate big fat party animal.

Imagine the shame of being on the celebrities team.

gustavo

Things really will have gone to the dogs if he gets a club again.

I almost hope he does come back, it'd be pretty funny. I mean, he's gonna make an ass out of himself. Which, from reading those God-complex comments, he probably deserves

I suppose the goals he scored for 'pool against Newcastle in the 4-3's count for seet FA?

Personally I thought Collymore at his peak was one of the best striker's in the league. Not saying I want him to come back or anything but let's not forget how good he once was.

kinaldo

That guy had so much talent fúcking talent.

Seaneh

Biggest waste of talent EVER!


[edit] well, since gazza[/edit]

My wasters 11

Keith O'Neill
Collymore
Brolin
Lee Sharpe

Gazza
Dyer

Branca
Duberry
Babb
Bogarde

Bosnich

Subs
Asprilla
Ronaldo

Manager
Sven

gustavo

Thats a rather successful manager you picked there but judging by your team English football is your only frame of reference so its understandable

Xavi6

Poor Keith O'Neill. Surely his injuries don't make him a waster? More unlucky I'd say.

i'd agree completly - although he cost us qualification to 1998 WC by letting macedonia score in the last minute, when we drew one all.

Ah now that's a bit harsh as well. There were 11 players (plus subs) who 'Had A Macedonia', not just O'Neill.

it was a toss up between him and Mark Kennedy -- i always thought O'Neil had talent , but let this talent go to waste -- but maybe Kennedy would be a better pick

Guy:Incognito

Ronaldo can hardly be called a waster. He has a bag of medals and has only missed large parts of his career because of injury. You cant blame him on his knees giving in. Plus after the 2nd time he collapsed riught after his return and was immediatly rules out for another year, everyone immediatly said thats the end of him and he'll never play again. The guy came back as strong as ever. Truth be told he's made a great carrer despite so major adversity.

Given the rest of the players he's listed, it could well be Cristiano Ronaldo...

I was actually going to stick that on the end for a laugh.


Is teh Macedonia game above the one where McAteer tried to kick the guys head off with a karate kick? Or am I thinking of a different game?

Wouldn't know where to start with the EL list of wasters !!

Asprilla was a super player for the barcodes and I can only hope it's not the Ronaldo you're referring to (ie Brazilian world cup winner and all time leading world cup competition scorer)

Almost as bad as Stan's idea of a comeback, yeah!

The Rooster

Anyone who thinks Collymore was poor for Liverpool has a bad memory.
His record was a goal in every two games (28 goals in 57 games). When he started games alongside Robbie Fowler they averaged more than a goal per game between them. Not bad at all.

Collymore was hugely talented, but obviously a headcase. To get the very best out of him you would have had to treat him as a special case - something Evans and Liverpool FC never did, albeit the fans did their very best.
