How many Bolton, Birmingham or Boro players have performed as well as he has in Champions League. For anyone that says that SPL players arent good enough for Premiership have a look at Alan Hutton at Spurs, top quality defender. The same arguement was said about Henrik Larsson for years that he was only performing in a crap league and that was no indication of how good he was....Turns out he was pretty good after all!Quote:

Oh dear God.. Are you seriously comparing Mc Geady to Henrik the Great?? I'm outta here, this thread is nuts.....Quote:

Im just making the point that there are good players in the SPL and they just cant be dismissed because of the league they play in.... and McGeady will probably win the player of the season up there this seasonQuote:

Are you for serious!!!! Go back and watch the Barcelona and Arsenal Champions League final and note when the turning point in the game was. Ill give you a clue, it was the minute Larsson came on. He was excellent for Man Utd and has such an excellent football brain.Quote:

Larsson is a classic example of a late developer.
Ah so you see my young silly boy. HENRIK = LEGEND...... ;)
And the end product of these 50/60 yard dribbles was exactly what?Quote:

Interesting that this personal abuse rule only applies to some people on this board. Its not like the moderator doesnt read and post on this thread extensively.Quote:
