Very refreshing views from Desaily. Especially as far as the "old Torres" is concerned, Marcel paints a very different image to the one we've been used to. Ever since he signed for us according to some Chelsea and Liverpool fans, Torres of Atletico and Liverpool was nothing more than a player who was on form for years. Simply a good athlete with tremendous pace, sharpness and all the other traits attributed to form instead of a genuine top class footballer (which would make the overused to the point of abuse "class is permanent" argument invalid for him). Now that he's not on-form and not as athletic as he was you'll read that he has no hope of becoming a proper footballer again he'll remain a Pippo Inzaghi without positional awareness and poaching instinct, a Van Nistelroy without the goals etc .. Suffice to say that's not the impression of him I had when he was at Liverpool and it would be a sign of low football intelligence and experience to start believing it only now.

I'm considering banning myself from all transfer topics. Don't have enough patience for the endless crap spouted.

He wanted Sturridge's wages. I don't see how whether he was frozen out by Arnesen (who was already on his way out) or Buck/Gourlay is relevant.

An end of an era no doubt. Who are we kidding we've been linked in Kaka while he changed three (3) clubs and some people still consider him. Aguero is 23. This is far from finished.

I was quite shocked by him in that particular chance. He didn't even try to sprint and looked like he couldn't be arsed.

You'd be slated for that a few years ago.

4 pages in a day? Nah I meant in the way that he was (a couple of years ago) our main transfer target and ends up at City.

Now there's an opinion we've never heard.

Those rules aren't as important as people think certainly not important enough to strongly influence the plans on a player's development/acquisition.

3 full seasons/36 months.

Much better performance unfortunately highlighting Torres' "form". Can't pick a MoM despite the shouts for Benayoun. Kitchee didn't test our defense AT ALL.

Fantastic Danny!

Torres should actually fucking DO something.

AVB signed OG from ManU without anyone noticing.

Not as pleased as most with the first half. Too many fouls and deep defending for my taste.

Anyway I was talking about the previous friendly.

Beauty of a cross from the Drogs. I'd rather see him on the wing than Anelka

Does the fact that Lamps started both the Hong Kong game and this mean anything about his involvement this season?

Finally woke up in time for a game!

:mellow: So... how many hours untill the kick-off?

It's hard not to understands Dzeko's reaction to that. What a waste of oxygen.

Are you sure you have the right word?

I'd be more interested in older former youth blues. Huth, Cole, Nouble and co

What are the chances of this being labeled a "Roman present" if it happens?
