He says it as it is allright.

Eamo is just doing what he does best. I don't think anyone take him too seriously these days, His cred suffered with his stance on Ronaldo.

Reserve football? My bad, clearly he is well known and a clear world beater. How stupid of my and Dunphy to think any differently. :pac:

Ditto!

lol. Dunphy talks crap and people still care.

MementoMori

Whelan pretty poor on the Academy stuff.

Check how many players came through it in the previous ten years with English coaches who included among there number Parry's son.
Then maybe compare it with the youths some of the ex-Barcelona coaches have developed in their careers.

Whelan's source - the reserve manager who was moved on in the summer.:rolleyes:

JerryHandbag

Ronnie really is the harbinger of doom!

Wait till Mr Alan hears about Dunphy saying Rafa's net spends is 150 million.

He'll have to get his list out again.:pac:

Yep, Frank Mcparland. A legend back in his home country of spain.

He could be right that could be the problem, i never understood the reason Parry was let leave Anfield

Giles 'analaysis' of Obertan is hilarious.

he is only a baby,, Fergie wont rush a young player unlike most managers.. his timing will be right

the main thing...he lost the club many, many millions in potential revenue by being sh*t at capitalising on the liverpool brand.

he also liked putting his oar in on transfers when he knew f*ck all.

he was a nice man, and a good servant, but he ended up out of his depth.

Headshot

not in a million years

Lol at John Giles didnt have a clue about Obertan.The cheek of Bill for expecting a "top" pundit such as Giles to do research on anyone such as Obertan. :rolleyes:

Unknown to the Match of the day fan,,
not unknown to good football fan

Dalglish isn't a coach.

Though he's pretty hard to understand either way.:pac:

Oh come on what has Wellbeck done? He is unknown.

Obertan starts on the right.

we're talking about him, he can't be unknown , no?

No but he's in terms of the Academy the three key individuals are McParland, Dalglish and Jose Segura.

It's noticeable in interviews with youngsters/reserves how many mention chatting with Dalglish and he seems to be constantly around the place since he joined.

Basically Whelan was flinging dirt at the new regime in the Academy and implying that there was no way the English kids could understand the coaches which according to everything I've read/heard since the new regime started is nonsense. He also failed to mention how abysmal the Academy were under the previous system in terms of bringing players through, which has hampered Rafa's efforts a fair bit

Great story about the Neviller when Michael Owen joined United and he was introducing him to everyone. When he gets to Wellbeck "Michael, this is Danny Wellbeck, he has something you heven't got, a Premier League Winners' Medal."

Legend.

My bad, I stupidly thought that when dunphy said he known he meant unproved. Clearly he just meant has anyone ever heard his name before, silly me. :rolleyes:

MickL

one of his job requirments is to know players, not say he is a unknown,
