ribery is pants

[shoot_ffs]

don't think i need to say anything else. He's andy reid on a diet, but reidy can finish.

[highlander]

he's only good in the french league which doesnt say much as their league is crap, from what ive seen in this WC he is poor but at under-21 level he was amazing. there should be more to come from him but not a lot

[JJ]

He's very energetic. He was all over the pitch, literally, chasing and hassling but he showed serious inexperience with his end product. Like you said, for the French league he may have what it takes, but i can't see it in the prem.

[shoot_ffs]

i don't think you'd get any value out of him, he's more of a gareth barry/andy reid than a lennon or routledge.

[Danishspurs]

I think he has a big potentiel... He may not be worth the 25 mill. he's rated to but he's really talented.. He's very energetic, extremely quick, good with both of legs and a great dribler. His end product may lack a bit, but I recall a lot of people saying the same thing about Lennon 6 months ago. He maybe a little inexperienced, but a few years at Lyon, and he will be a top class player..

[sundancer]

He looked well out of his depth

he may be many things but quick he aint

[Thfc4Life]

he may be many things but quick he aint

I have to disagree with that comment to be honest! admittedly he is not as fast as Lennon (who is) but he is quick and i would rate his pace in the same bracket as jenas'.

[Chinaman]

Even 10 million for him is.........Robbery!

[shoot_ffs]

i don't think he's as quick as jenas, maybe davids.

[onthejazzin77]

what is up with his face? He is pushing Tevez for the ugliest player in the tournament. why does he shave a patch of hair on one side? has he been in some kind of fire accident?

[WelshSpur82]

I hear he may be the new face of Calvin Klein !!!!!

Car accident when he was a kid.

[Welsh Spur]

I'm glad we didn't sign him....seems like we'd have been paying these 'extortionate' prices that are now common place....More and more I think we're in very capable hands.

[neilmcnab]

ribery very much overpriced but he has genuine pace and aggresion, every time he came on he made a difference, france is stale, thats y he look so bad

[Danishspurs]

:confused:

Right, he did pretty much what he wanted to tonight and showed why he's been rated to 25 mill.

[WelshSpur82]

I agree he looked very useful tonight.

[neilmcnab]

yeah we all saw frank ribery 2nite who said he is slow ...please...very confident... doesnt need an invite to burst into opposition half/ area.. can play eather side or down middle... y dont france play saha who knows... did u c arrogones the racist and vieria... shud of let them at each other...

[JJ]

Yeah he looked better today. The goal clearly lifted alot of pressure off him. He's a real engine, can't deny that. He was all over the pitch to the final whistle hassling spain.

[Chinaman]

He was very, very good today; but is still a long way from being 25 million pounds. If he can consistently play like today, I'll take him for 12 million.

[Danishspurs]

Totally agree... He's not worth the 25 mill. But he's a big talent and he showd that today..

[mjbmedia]

one good game in 4 appearances, thats value for money

[Welsh Spur]

Ribery would probably be a good signing at around £7million pounds.

[marcusto]

Ribery looked class 2night... now I see what all the French were raging about..

Espically when they dropped Guily for him, due to a public out cry for Ribery to be in the squad

[Spur]

one good game in 4 appearances, thats value for money

I agree with that, he has not shown why so much money should spent on him over the whole tournament. TBH, he has missed chances that should be put away with ease, and whilst he may have played ok in one game, at a level where we want to be, that just isn't good enough considering the amount we would have to pay.

[Houdini logic]

could the france/ribery saga be close to england/lennons? - only lennon looks more impressive and is NOT being played as much...

[Chinaman]

Lennon is a lot faster, but it seems that Robbery has more experience in the middle and thus looks more composed there. As Jol said that he thinks Lennon could play in the hole in future, there is no reason to doubt that given half a season playing a roving role, Lennon cannot be just as effective, if not more then Robbery in the middle. So in conclusion I still think Lennon would evolve into a better player then Robbery.

[Welsh Spur]

Seriously if Lennon is used properly for the remainder then he will inflict some damage. Portugal won't know what the **** to do, foul him and get booked or watch him fly past....And I don't care what anyone says, Brazil's defence is shite....they haven't played a strong team yet and if France can pull another performance out the bag they'll beat them.

[Chinaman]

Had the Ghanians had more luck and confidence they could have beaten Brazil.

[Chaydle]

If Man U sign him it would be highly amusing hearing Fergie trying to say his name..........Fwanck Wibewy!!!!!!!

[highlander]

yer hes not jonathon ross

[shoot_ffs]

ribery played ok last night, he didn't look confident in his goal though, he nearly fluffed it.

[highlander]

he did play well but i think the jury is definately still out and the brazil game will be the test to see if he is a decent enough player to play for a good team

[Chinaman]

You're so right.
