Carsley to Arsenal - Better than Ronaldo Shocker!

[Dave_M]

Following the recently rumoured move of Everton's Lee Carsley to Arsenal for £25m (£20m if we throw in Vierra), I thought id do some statistical analysis on him and compare him to a recent aquisition of yours. One C. Ronaldo.

Now admidedly these stats may be a little out of date, but the evidence is certainly apparent that Carsley may be better than C. Ronaldo...

Player Name: Lee Carsley
Starts: 13
Goals: 2
Mins Played: 1138
Bookings: 3
Sent Off: 0
Hair: No

Player Name: Cristiano Ronaldo
Starts: 10
Goals: 0
Mins Played: 915
Bookings: 0
Sent Off: 0
Hair: Yes

Now most of those stats speak for themselves, but the two that really clinch it for me, that really make it apparent Carsely may just be the superior player are these two:

Cards: Carsley has 3 of them, and I mean come on, who DOESNT like to get cards, especially at this time of year. Any player willing to get into the festive spirit will invariably be a real team player

Hair: Carsely's lack of hair clearly makes him a hard bastid, which I think Arsenal really need. We have a reputation as being a bit soft, and never really making any hard tackles, so I think this may be a good thing for us. Also it is apparent that C.Ronaldo's lack of "hardness" is directly proportional to the ammount of hair he has more than Carsely.

Finally, did you SEE his goal against Newcastle on Sunday. Absoloute cracker it was. If he only does that twice for us (as he has for Everton) then its worth the asking price alone.

I think once again Wenger has proved his managerial genious by investing in little known talent, while Man U just continues to buy proven superstars - which just isnt very sporting - is it?

Honestly don't you have something better to do? Did they kick you out of the Gooner forum already?

Seriously, if I did the same on the Arse boards, would you all not come down on me for trolling?

I think it was a Fair and Balanced analysis :D

Yeah, but at the same time I can imagine quite a few people getting sensitive and the end result of a card for a United poster who did that would not suprise me much.

Perhaps. But with an opening line like "Lee Carsley to Arsenal for £25m (£20m if we throw in Vierra." I think most people would take it for what it is...

...but perhaps the timing was not so great with a game playing tonight. I stand by my intent, if not my methods. Perhaps I should have linked those two threads in the first place. My appologies if you took it to heart.

Pfft. Coach and Rick are about as lenient as they come. I recall a Man Utd newbie spooging some Ronaldo man-crush when he first joined your squad a while back, and aside from some mickey-taking I dont recall either of them being carded for it.

I wouldn't call it a full out troll. The stats were WEAK though.

[Rick B]

Er this was suppossed to be a joke guys. Please don't take it out on Dave, I take full responsibility. Come on, lets face it - the first sentance takes any reality out of it!! There's enough bad blood between the two boards, this was something we could all take the mick with.......

Those two baldies are good players for Everton.

[sarabella]

How can you guys not see the humor in this thread? Lee Carsley v. C. Ronoldo? Sheesh....

[hawk_claw]

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dave_M again."

Oh, I will .... I will.

You're taking this thing like a man, Dave, and you deserve some backup.
