Steve McManaman - Legend or big time charlie????????
Marty McFly:
Legend pure and simple. Not sure about him as a pundit yet, just talking about his contribution on the pitch.
Was gutted when he left and we never really replaced him. Still pissed off he left us on a free but he was my favourite player for years, even with Fowler at his best.
Robbo1980:
As a player he was fucking fantastic for a good few seasons, he was the Steven Gerrard in Roy Evans side, he could and often would pick up the ball in his own half a dribble the length of the pitch without much support.
Sometimes his final ball would let him down but a very very good player.
As a person he comes across a bit of a twat.
They way he left stinks but Micheal Owen left in similar circumstances (not the same) and most fans would have welcomed him back with open arms.
What he did on the picth heavily outweighs what he did off it for me, although he does think a bit too much of himself.
Armin:
Never thought he fully realised his potential, which was huge. He played some great games for us but for some reason I never felt he fully pushed his limits. Great athlete in his day which only made his latter exploits for City all the more embarrassing.
Has any player in the history of the game displayed a better command of the pointy finger command of fellow teammates in lieu of doing anything oneself technique?
Now looking alarmingly pink. I'm worried that he's turning into a sentient scouse tomato.

Let's not forget the swipe of the hair out of the eyes, palm raised, head shake apology - he did that about 700 times a game.

yeah but dont forget the club tried to shaft him by agreeing to sell him to barca only to find out they were being used by barca, after that his mum took ill and you cant really blame him for leaving on a free, it was the club who showed their hand first !
