'No'

Howard and Deuce had way better careers than any of these guys. At least they had success in PL, unlike landy who failed miserably in the bundes and PL.

Deuce had legit 2-3 good seasons at Fulham at best. Howard I'll give you, but McBride and Cherundolo had way better careers.
>>
>>66645634
Biggest mistake Deuce made was leaving Fulham, but shit happend. OK ill give you both those guys, but landycakes could never crack into the more competitive leagues.

After that good season at Fulham And transferring to Spurs I knew it was ogre, already in his 30's expecting to replicate that season.

Probably Bobby Charlton.

All the other nations on these isles have produced superior players which is depressing.

John Charles.
Kenny Dalglish.
George Best.
>>
Probably Brad Friedel, Goalie. Played 310 PL matches for L'pool, Tottenham, Blackburn and Villa.

I have been an Everton season ticket holder for 10 years and let me tell you now Tim Howard (bar one season) was slightly above average at best. His last two seasons were two of the worst I have ever seen a goalkeeper have.

I dunno if I can think of anyone better from the US though.

looking forward to having your team back in Serie A
Crotone, Cagliari and Bari in exchange of Hellas, Palermo and one of the rookies seems like a decent exchange
it would be perfect if Hellas pulled the miracle, i have a huge hard ons for traditional teams and don't like the debutants

I think they all agreed that he was technically the most perfect of the lot but not necessarily the best.
