Laurent Robert

I was at the game on Saturday and was appalled by the turnout. However it can only be expected with the prices at £20 each. Fucking piss take.

I wanted to get a response about the new boy Robert...

I thought he looked like he had real class and was a genuine threat(tackles like Solano mind) in an otherwise diabolical performance.

Maybe the rest of you cud give a view on wot they thought?

Mint. In a different class to Solano (eg. has pace).

Yeah he seemed a canny player. He could beat his man and he seemed to play off the crowd, something that other players could take note of. His main strength is free kicks by the looks of things (half of all his goals last season were free kicks) which is something that has been missing from our performances recently (especially since Shearer was injured for so long)

Just saw a couple of highlights from the RL tesimonial. Very brief but Robert looked a different class. That free kick must have been almost a hundred miles an hour. Time will tell but I liked very much what I saw.

A new Roberto Carlos for free kicks? Superb
