I aren't sure he has failed to take his chances

from what I've seen when he gets a chance he shows what he can do, then gets dropped for the next game

Like I said below, Mallorca and Depor both spent 10 million on him and both qualified for the champions league with him in their teams. He was bought for 10 million by Newcastle because he's been a class act in La Liga for years.

A hamstring injury and a manager not liking you doesn't change the fact that you are a class act

        perhaps it might have escaped your knowledge that he's a left winger as well (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 15:42:29
        
        Wasn't what they lauded him as when they bought him. (n/m) (General Chat) - Steve in Holland, Nov 29, 15:43:51

        No. (General Chat) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Nov 29, 16:00:10
        
        Ok, I'll ride, lets take Mallorca, qualified for the champions league whilst he was there (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 16:03:00
        
        So Deportivo was all about Luque? (General Chat) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Nov 29, 16:13:37
        
        You brought up the theory that the team might be better than the player (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 16:18:46
        
        Now i've no idea what you're on about. (General Chat) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Nov 29, 16:24:11
        
        What I said is he's played for teams, and they've done well when he has (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 16:39:41
        
        You don't get it do you? (General Chat) - InTheAbsenceOfAHorse, Nov 29, 16:46:15

        Eto joined at the end of the season they qualified for Europe (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 16:50:52
        
        Not true. He's also good because teams have paid lots of money for him. (n/m) (General Chat) - Steve in Holland, Nov 29, 15:49:30
        
        Of course by this logic he is only a fraction as good as Nicolas Anelka (n/m) (General Chat) - Steve in Holland, Nov 29, 15:51:43
        
        Nicholas Anelka is a class forward, better than luque (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Nov 29, 15:53:49
        
        and Hernan Crespo, and Robbie Keane (n/m) (General Chat) - Steve in Holland, Nov 29, 15:52:59
