Dry yer eyes.
I wasn't asking you to take my opinion over Jess's, honey. I was merely getting involved in a conversation, which I thought was the purpose of these forums?
This attitude of "he's played with him", "he's a manager so what do we know", is a lot of fucking guff. It implies that everyone in football has the same opinion - or arsehole, whatever you wish to call it.
Your quote about Dion Dublin being signed by Alex Ferguson, ergo he must be ace... Was Kleberson a better player than Paul Mason?
Dublin was a good player, no doubt about that. I was merely suggesting that Charlie Nicholas (a player with ten times the ability than Dublin, a guy people would "pay to watch" as the saying goes) and Hans Gillhaus (a European Champion, Dutch internationalist at the time of Gullitt, van Basten et al) were better players. Why you have to get so high and mighty about it is fucking beyond me.
