Didnt Cisse do quite well for Lazio when he first signed.

well yeah , that should be accounted as well , though from the image i have of his time at Greece and the high expectations the Laziali had for him , well it makes it debatable.

In addition , he did lost unbelieveable sitters this season against the most agile defences and a sitter is the same everywhere ..!

But even though i've voted Taiwo , Downing's a real favourite Laughing

For a guy who cost so much money, and who should have been the central piece of liverpool's attack, he flopped big time.

He should have had a better season considering liverpool's style of football suits him perfectly.

If you don't watch Liverpool, there's no point in throwing out random names fed to you by the media.

I do watch liverpool. I follow all their games, same for Barca and madrid.

Care to explain why you think he wasn't a flop?

Forgot that carroll was transferred in 2010-11 but he only played 9 games that season. I believe he played 47 this year.

Yeah... Downing. My bro's a Liverpool supporter and I literally facepalmed myself through the eyes everytime Downing received the ball.

AVB wasn't really a flop considering the tools he had and the style he wanted to implement. He was a little naive, yeah... but not really extremely flop worthy.

by Lex Thu 17 May 2012 - 1:52

Di Matteo, using those same tools, got to a CL final :lol!:

by Sushi Master Thu 17 May 2012 - 1:56

Yeah, tactically naive as I said. No way he was playing sexy football with those oldies.

Now, classic Chelsea countering they still have the players for, Jurassic era or not.

Di Matteo won't really look to good in 6th place and once they're knocked out of CL, though :coffee:

Voted for Downing but Andy Carroll had to be one of them. Maybe the last few games of the season salvaged his reputation slightly but still Carroll :facepalm:

Wouldn't even be starting for Villareal 'B' in Liga Adelante to be honest :facepalm:

Carrol didn't transfer this season to Liverpool , so how it is possible for him to be transfer flop of the season , i can't tell.
