Invariably he plays one good game a season, usually a live game [/quote]
Aye.
I remember watching Newcastle v Arsenal in a bar in Lanzarote about 4 years ago and he was fucking phenomenal. Never seen him play even half as well since.
[quote=“Special Olympiakos, post: 816948, member: 366”]Some going for an Arsenal man like Scotty, he’s played almost every London club except them at this stage.
Charlton, Chelsea, West Ham, Spurs and now QPR.[/quote]
Parker is one of those lads who’d be an average player in division 2 and an average player in the premier league. He just blends in wherever he is.
Plenty wrong with that. He’s completely overpriced for one, but Southampton’s willingness to spend that much isn’t quite as ridiculous as their ability to spend that.
They’ve certainly strengthened their squad alright, he has a lot of players to keep happy in the middle but if it’s at the expense of Bale, who dragged them through the second half of last season you’d wonder will it be enough. What have they up top?
Are they not in good enough shape? They let a load of players go on free transfers so there should be a nice but cut from their wage bill and there’s the additional TV revenue to consider.

Even the guys they have bought for big money like Wanyama, Lovren and Gaston Ramirez wouldn’t have been on relatively big wages at either of the sides they were at, would any of them three be on more than 40k a week at Southampton?
Osvaldo would be a different story though, he would be on good money at Roma

He’s obviously their attempt to bring in someone like Michu I presume.
