adios 717 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've been very patient with him, but tonight again I thought he showed very little, doesn't really get stuck in, looks off the pace and disinterested. I'm very worried that the 18 million spent on him and Boumsong is money down the drain, honestly I think Boumsong has shown more value for money than him. 5 million a piece, cut our losses and reinvest.

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) I've stuck up for him, however now I've decided I've had enough being patient with him. It's strating to annoy me this "Luque will come good, give him a chance next season, he just needs to adjust..." attitude of many fans. Firstly why would he want to stay? He'll go to Real Madrid for a knockdown price instead of spending another miserable season here, because he's "given a chance." Secondly, of course he needs to adjust, but that's only if he wanted to. I'm sure he could improve if he had the determination to do so, but frankly he is uninterested, and why should we persist in sticking up for somebody uninterested when Bramble and Boumsong are at least, making an effort? I don't see the, getting much support. Just sell him is all I say. He doesn't need a chance, he needs what's best for him and that's a transfer back to Spain.

Wullie 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think he could have been great for us (could still be feasibly) and circumstances have certainly conspired against him. However, he hasn't done himself any favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I didn't see the game, this is very disapointing to hear I still think he could do with a proper run in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the useless knacker out, but don't talk him down and try to get a fee. I only hope people remember these 2 deals, among others, that were all down to Souness' professional "expertise" when Fred gets crucified for not having another 50m quid in the summer..... BTW, the bold bit was obvious as fuck after his first game. Edited February 22, 2006 by LeazesMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I Think he is actually lazy, Luque was just walking back, rarely ran, it is pathetic, i think he has had to much time to go out drinking and lazing about, he needs to get motivated.

All the manager of the time could go off was what we all saw, a good player. The fact he turned out to be a crock of shite was in no way inevitable.

David Kelly 1260 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I can't beleive he is a bad as what he looks at the moment, you simply don't get to play for Spain if you are. But he just doesn't look like he fits in with the rest of the team. He looks like an outsider and as such he can't seem to get himself motivated. I'm sure it doesn't help that he found himself basically the 6th choice to play up front at the minute or that every slight error is met with groans from the crowd. But at the end of the day it's up to him to show more than he is and at the moment it looks he can't do that and the sooner we sell him the better.

Shearergol 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Something about Spaniards not being able to play in this league. Even Reyes is a shadow of what he could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Regardless of whether he can perform any better or not in this country, I think the bloke is suffering from a massive lack of confidence at the moment which would frankly affect the greatest players in the game. Bergkamp suffered from it when he was at Inter - no doubting the fact that he's an awesome player though. Would have been interesting to see how things had turned out had his cheeky free-kick gone in against Southampton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still willing to give him a chance, but he's really testing my patience. When he went on that run in the middle of the park, the Charlton lad went shoulder to shoulder with him, and he just gave up, stopped running when the ball was still there to be won. Even the most patient amongst us were tested with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Agree with that SLP, if he's showing dis-interest than that simply is not on...

(not including you in this...) 99597[/snapback] Robert produced the goods in terms of goals and assists - that much is indisputable. I'm not going to rise to your bait, but you should question yourself why YOU have felt it necessary to bring up Robert twice in a thread that has nowt to do with him. As for Luque, did anyone notice on Saturday against Southampton how he walked straight off the pitch without clapping the fans or swapping shirts, unlike the rest of the team? People saying he needs time to adapt are talking bollocks. He doesn't appear to have the skill to do anything right, and what's worse is he isn't even bothered. He's a bigger waste of money than Marcelino and is acting like a complete cunt imo. I'd take 3 million for him and get rid asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
