I think you could count Cutrone as one though he’s not nearly at the level of any of the real legendary poachers.

Piatek was one last season now he’s just a garbageman.

Can’t believe you forgot future AC Milan player Mauro Icardi.

Here’s all his Inter goals because why not

You’d be hard pressed to find such a limited striker consistently playing at such a high level for one of the big clubs. And that’s coming from a huge fan.

Yeah, if you haven't seen it yet, he's the central figure in the series. He's basically Barry Homeowner from Athletico Mince, but more of a oval office.

I don’t really see the problem with Charlie, it’s clear the staff have stopped giving a gently caress a long time ago, are just phoning it in, and need a swift kick up the rear end. As much as I love to lol at Sunderland his approach to unfuck Ellis Short’s disaster is what’s needed if the club doesn’t want to go under.

Granted I wouldn’t want to work for him because I’m a lazy piece of poo poo but you as a staffer can’t expect for that gravy train to continue forever

He’s posh yeah but he was hired to do a job and by all accounts seems to be doing exactly that? The soft touch approach doesn’t seem like it would work when the club was hemorrhaging cash and nobody cared.

I never said that he wasn't doing a good job. TBH, there's little in the documentary to show whether he is or isn't. I just think he's a horrible oval office.

He had a really good track record in the League One prior to Sunderland though.

Yeah he's got some real David Brent energy. Wanting the stadium to sound like "a nightclub at Ibiza".

I've also had a number of bosses who thought "I don't want to hear excuses, I want it done" was an actual and real counter for something not being possible within the given time limit, and that seems to be his one go-to move so gently caress him.

Absolutely. It's pretty clear what the producers thought of him by having that be so prominent early on.

God drat some screamers in there. The Bale one is insane because of how high he lifts his leg and how much power he gets on it.

Matty Taylor could really smash them.

658 league appearances

E: also this is good

quote:


To begin, we take you back to January 2008 with Manchester United legend Keane in charge of Sunderland.

A stunning debut managerial season saw Keane guide the Black Cats into the Premier League as Championship winners, though a tough opening half of their top-flight campaign meant Sunderland were 17th come the start of the January 2008 transfer window.

Keane understandably looked to the transfer market as he sought to aid Sunderland’s survival bid – and he had his eye on one player in particular, Matt Taylor.

The former Portsmouth, Bolton and West Ham midfielder was surplus to requirements at Fratton Park at the time, and had a choice of moving to the Black Cats or Bolton.

Taylor opted for Wanderers despite meeting with Sunderland boss Keane ‘for an hour or two’ at the Stadium of Light.

And it’s fair to say Keane was not impressed with how Taylor made his decision known – sending a text to him just seconds after their meeting came to an end.

In fact, Taylor hadn’t even left the stadium car park before texting Keane!

The story that is so hilarious that even the typically dour Keane broke into tears of laughter while telling it begins: “Trying to get players up to Sunderland is always difficult; their wives didn’t want to go up there because they wanted to go shopping.

“Eventually, I got Matty Taylor up as he was leaving Portsmouth and had the opportunity to go to Sunderland or Bolton.

“So I met him at the stadium, in the boardroom, gave him all the talk for an hour or two… he said he’s got a lot to think about.

“I said: ‘Of course, you take your time, it’s a huge decision. I’ll walk you down to the car park’. As we walked down he says, ‘listen Roy, it’s a huge decision, thanks for the chat’.

“Bolton and Sunderland… there is no comparison, but listen, Bolton weren’t a bad team at the time.

“I saw him walking to his car and say, ‘brilliant, thanks for coming’.

“He turns his back and I’ve got a text, and not many people text me.

“It says, ‘Hi Roy, it’s Matty Taylor…’

“I’ve got my phone; I think it was a BlackBerry, at the time they were in. I can see him getting into his car!

“[The message continued] ‘I’ve decided to go to Bolton’. And I’m there waving him out the car park!”

Taylor’s decision to join Bolton did not disrupt Sunderland’s first campaign back in the Premier League, however, as they preserved their top-flight status with a 15th place finish.

My favourite Yeboah one is the one where it looks like he's about to volley it but takes a beautiful touch to evade a challenge then rifles a thunderbastard in off the bar.

The Rooney one against Newcastle is one of my all time favourites, not just for the hit but that he's arguing with the referee right up until he sees the ball come across and he hits it. So :discourse:

That Danny Rose volley in the NLD has to be one of the best goals in a senior debut.
