I hope we don't have to visit Gala during his spell there. They'll only complain we duped them and be even more hostile than normal.
Insua going?

Nah, they must know he's shit.
Otherwise they'd have bought him outright; they're probably just hoping he'll be less shit in Turkey.

i think it has a nice ring to it - dirk dogshit. 🙂
seriously though, sending insua out on loan when we could have got 4 or 5 million for him is crap. we should have offered to pay the shortfall in his wages for a season or something.
who knows maybe the super slow league will suit the fat sod.

Awesome, then we will have 3 awful left backs in our squad. Having said that out of Insua Konchesky and Aurelio if I had to keep one it would be Insua hes the only one with potential to improve, Konchecky is a 30 year old journeyman with little pace or positional sense and Aurelio is a hospital case that makes Josemi look like Marc Overmars, so while Insua was wretched last season he also has the best odds of turning into a reasonable player even if only at squad level, the other 2 we should get rid of as soon as possible. Something tells me NSEV would never have sanction the signing of Konchesky or the resigning of Aurelio
Is his contract expiring this season? Remember reading it somewhere. What a waste that will be. We missed the boat when he rejected Fiorentina's contract offer (5m was it?). With those extra millions, we *might* have been able to bring in a better left back instead of our current 29 yr old. :🙂

It was still Roy who was purchasing. SO it would have been Konchesky, just a few mill more expensive.

I never realised Hagi was the Gala's gaffer. What a player he was.

Who did you think it was?? Frank Rijkaard maybe?? 😉

Is he still rated highly by the staffs or there aren't any other capable LBs around of that age range? ???
To this day my wife occasionally catches me staring blankly into the middle distance. She shakes my shoulder and shouts 'Mistadobalina! snap out of it!' I say 'Sorry. I was just thinking about Insua' ...and shudder.
I cant believe some of you would happily take him back! He got raped more times than a.... I can't think of a unoffensive way to finish that sentence.

He's there to clean up the unfinished pies.
The exact polar opposite of Lucas - started off fine, regressed to shit. We need to keep him away from Lucas to avoid contamination.

Featured for the 2nd stringers in their 4-1 defeat to Nigera on Wednesday.
Yeah, I think he was better than both Dossena and CanJetSki.
After a few bright moments in the opening minutes, an inexperienced Argentina team looked hopelessly out-classed against the hosts, who time and again marauded down the flanks and ripped apart the away team. Taye Taiwo and Joel Obi in particular took pleasure in torturing full backs Pablo Zabaleta and Emiliano Insua, and the opening goal did not take long to arrive.

I'd say he was better than Traore too.

No chance.

Agree. Traoré was at times part of the best premiership defensive line England.
A couple of f*ck ups here and there doesn't change the fact that he was better than Insua.
Sadly it's the mistakes we remember, not his last ditch tackles.

You mean his last ditch tackles after he'd been caught under the ball or out of position three or four times in nearly every match?
Those last ditch tackles?
Is it those you mean?
The ones he did to cover for his own fuck ups?
Is it them?
Is that what you're talking about?

Which times were they?
The 2 seasons when he was anywhere approaching being a first team regular we conceded 41 goals.
In the few seasons after he got dropped and ultimately left we conceded about 27-28 goals
Even in this season, which has been an absolute fucking disaster, we conceded 44
