Who has the most goals of any englishman in top-flight competition? Not Owen, not Rooney, not Defoe, not Lampart, not Gerrard, not anybody but AJ. Yet, Sven Goran Eriksson thinks he might make a fair right winger? Hmmm. Perhaps TO would make a nice blocking back, perhaps LT might make a nice TE, or perhaps Manning might be an ok flanker . . . yeeesh. Perhaps Sven has been looking at how Yahoo classifies players to make such decisions, Ronaldo a Striker yet Duff and Robben midfielders . . .
More importantly, he is a fantasy stud. If only Crystal Palace's kit (apparently what the peeps over here call uniforms) wasn't monkey ass ugly I would considering wearing an AJ shirt.
If AJ gets relegated which teams could benefit from his services? As a striker that is, not a midfielder that is . . .
My best guesses at AJ's destination if he, err Palace, were to get relegated...
ReplyDelete1) Newcastle - Shearer...gone; Bellemy...gone; Kluivert...cranky and not as good as he thinks he is.
2) Villa - They seemed to have money to spend on Beattie and AJ would be a better choice
3) Tottenham - because they seem to be collecting every up and coming English player they can (I mean seriously, the entire u21 squad is Tottenham guys)
4) ManYoo - because they seem to enjoy acquiring young talented English strikers who will sit on the bench (paging Mr. Smith)
5) Chelsea - because they seem to enjoy acquiring any players with talent who will end up sitting on the bench (paging Mssrs. Cole, Geremi, Parker, Bridge, Johnson, Crespo, Mutu, Forsell, Smertin, Cudicini...)
