oh shit, i got myself into deep shit now
:nervous:
i dont think he's a bad player at all...the point of the thread and my point is that DP's a bit of a waste of talent when he coulda been something great IMHO
yes i know it's not easy, especially once being the golden boy of italy..but i dont understand why players like Raul or Henry etc can still be so exciting to watch and still cope with all tha pressure.
i 100% agree with jules that DP thinks too much on the ball..
about the zalayeta think, i really think even zalayeta is jumpy than DP...all the time when DP gets the ball, he runs with the ball, gets fouled or just does nothing gr8, things that most average players can do..

Throwing away the league is all about pressure and he was one of hte main factors that Arsenal buckled, what happened when pressure was off they beat Southampton 6-1 with Henry sparkling whereas there was a distinct surrender against Man united, Bolton and Leeds
In the wc, do u remember him doing a thing apart from being sent off
Raul, I am sure gets the same stick as Dp in Spain as Spain have done nothing internationally and he is at Real Madrid where its easy to be good with all the talent around you but he has coped evry well but I do not agree he is exciting, he just a magnificent player who does the simple things very well
I get your point about wasted talent as I think like me that Dp should have least at some point in his career being a main candidate for European player of the year but he hasnt come close in a long time
