Afonso Alves

By the way Vidicious, don't you feel so stupid? Forget the thread jinx thing, I mean saying that a player is a flop while he's actually a very good player.
 
I think people are in a hurry to condemn people as 'another South American flop' etc, Vidicious was obviously so impatient with this one he came out to snigger at another foreign failure before it actually happened.
 

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition !!!

Let's start threads like this about attackers on Chelsea's opponents.

Well, only time will tell mate. Just cause he scored twice against us doesnt mean he wont be a flop. He may not score for a good few more games. But anyway, the reaction was priceless, so in answer to your question, no, not really.
 
I wasn't able to see the game, but when i saw whats the score and who scored i remembered this thread and i thought ''niiiice''
 
To be fair, he's not a bad player, I think next season will be a good one for him, I think a better team will come in for him though I doubt Boro will sell him

He's actually settled into the Premiership quite well and although his goals took a while to come he was threatening from day 1
 
To be fair though, hes done feck all since this thread was created, depends how much time you want to give him, he still stands as a flop to me.
 

I'm something of a hypocrite when it comes to superstitions as while I don't believe that starting a thread (or bumping it in this case) will make him score against us i wouldn't do it anyway. Just in case!
 
His confidence has dropped sorely. He scored for fun before hitting the shores and now he can't hit a target from 5 yards out. Think he needs to move on but would be useful for a team like Villa and under a coach like O'Neil.

Needs a new team drastically...
