Talk:Fernando Morientes

--82.198.22.2 10:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)Submitted by Brian Gubb on the official Liverpoolfc.tv message boards, it's to be sung to the tune of Abba's 'Fernando' and goes a little bit like this...

There was someone in the box tonight He shines so bright Fernando

He was scoring goals for you and me For LFC Fernando

When he pulls on a shirt we dont lose That you can bet

Come on singalong his name again He's scored again Fernando

Kop Fact: Abba released 'Fernando' as a single just two months before Morientes was born.

Didn't he win the Champions League with Liverpool too? Or doesn't that count?

It doesn't count - he had already played CL for Real that year and a player can only represent one club in the CL per year, so he wasn't included in the Liverpool CL squad. Poulsen 09:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay thanks Poulsen. I wasn't sure because I knew he had played the preliminar CL with Real Madrid, but only the two previous games in summer before the competition really started (you know what I mean?), and I didn't know if that counted or not as playing the CL and thus not being eligible for playing CL with another team. Thanks again.

I've removed the following:

It seems that Morientes is not suited for the rough English Premier League, as he has failed to find the net between December 2005 and mid-March 2006. His GPA is not as high as when he was playing for Real Madrid.

It simply seems too POV. All players have a period of adaptation at a new team (look at Zidane when he first started playing for Real Madrid, for example!). It's okay to mention he may not be having such a hot start, and put his current stats, but to go ahead and say he may not be suited for the 'rough' English Premier League is just a matter of opinion, I believe. There has to be a better way to express how he still hasn't adapted to a new team and how his stats are lower than usual. Comments on this? Raystorm 22:10, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Picture

This article needs a new picture; the current one still shows Morientes from when he played for Liverpool. It's been half a year now since he left.

New picture needed? He has left Liverpool for 3 years already --Xaiver0510 (talk) 17:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The Spanish don't seem as keen as the English wikipedia community. I suppose we'll just have to wait until some kind valenciano does the work... Sillyfolkboy (talk) 14:15, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

As he no longer plays, we should use a picture of him in the club he is most know for having played for, Real Madrid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.166.204.195 (talk) 19:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
