you just lost some serious credibility there dude
Haven't seen him play this year huh?
Anyway, if I've lost credibility in the eyes of someone who thinks Smeltz is world class and should be at a big European club, I'm not going to lose any sleep.

I was referring to your comment about Fowler mate, I said nothing about world class (in fact the opposite) or a big Euorpean club???
You are getting your knickers in a knot big time, take a chill pill.

I'm chilled. My response was hardly getting my 'nickers in a knot'.
My arguements are solely around the claims that Smeltz is worldclass and should be at a big club.
You've jumped in halfway through, which is fine, but you've said I lost credibility for claiming Fowler is better than Smeltz.
So you're implying that Smeltz is better than Fowler, which I disagree with. I apologise for diagreeing with you, but that's my opinion.
You also said that the role of a striker is to just get into the right position and paoch goals. While that's a large part of their role, the world class strikers at big european clubs do a heck of a lot more than that. They also do things like create, link up, harrass defenders, create space and take free kicks.
So on credibility, perhaps watch a bit more football before you slate me off.

Correct me if I'm wrong Jack, but I think what he's saying is that Inzaghi is a poacher of the highest order. Inzaghi was pure class once he got the ball, but getting it wasn't his strong point. I recall Fergie having a pop at Inzaghi one time along the lines of him always being offside trying to poach a goal.
However when the team is off, Inzaghi is nowhere to be seen. He has a great scoring record by virtue of being in a side brimming with creative players.

How did Smeltz score so many goals for Wellington then??...they were off every week and at the time hardly any "creative" players??
