Barney 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Bramble has found his level. The fuck ups are far too frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was better than O'Brien though. Unbelievable to suggest otherwise tbh. Not much to choose between them but you have to rememeber we got to the second stage of the champions league with them and Dabizas. None of them out ot the top draw but we acheived a hell of a lot with them, mostly due to Sir Bob being one of the rare coaches who genuinely improves players in his charge (Harry Redknapp is the same, pity he's a gangster too though ) We didnt need Franco Baresi types to keep us all happy a few years back and this revisionism is a bit galling to be honest. And if the World Cup had been last season Bramble wouldve been an outsider for the squad in the way Michael Dawson is being mentioned this season. But Bramble plays for Wigan and Dawson plays for Spurs so maybe not....see also,much as it pains me to say, Darren Bent and Jermaine Defoe.

Not that either of them were perfect but they played a lot in the sides that finished 4th, 3rd and 5th. Precisely.....Arsenal will finish 3rd this season with the likes of Campbell and Silvestre playing regularly....Bramble,Dabizas and O'Brien were/are miles from being top class players but I'll always think well of them for what we acheived with them in the side. To say "urrgh they were shite" is inaccurate and misses the point by a country mile....you can acheive a lot with the sum of the parts of what on paper may appear a mediore team.

Dr Gloom 20731 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) the sbr years were class. i've got massive respect for the man. the way he was sacked was a disgrace. he did have a couple of howlers in the transfer market mind - the main ones for me were bramble and carl cort. both arrived for around 6-7m and we were glad to see the back of both of them. andy o'brien was cheaper than bramble so arguably not as big a flop - didn't arrive with expectations that he'd be anything other than an average centre half so wasn't as big a let down. but to be fair alex, everyone on this board slagged both bramble and o'brien off regularly when they were at the club.

Assuming Steven Taylor leaves in the summer (nailed on if you ask me) say we brought Titus back....do you think it would be a backwards step?....he's been a first choice premier league centre back for 10 years and 5 different manangers, he must have something going for him?.....
