  1. And OM says bye bye: http://www.om.net/fr..._y_gracias_Azpi EDIT: ...and of course, someone else beats me to it.
  2. The club is probably just waiting for the right moment to announce the deal(s). I'm just going to assume Azpilicueta is signed and celebrate.
  3. There's absolutely no way City put in such a crappy bid for David Luiz. 30m is around what we paid Benfica to get him.
  4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lB7rhmW9t8 This? I don't think he made any assist that game, but this was the closest thing I could find.
  5. Another quality signing. Now, hopefully we'll forget about Hulk and get some real striker for a good price, too.
  6. Do you not realize how embarrassing this post or some of your other posts are?
  7. Newcastle are obviously a tricky side, but I'm feeling fairly confident about this one.
  8. Same here. I love how the two of them are already looking like they've been playing with one another for quite some time.
  9. Nah. City fans are. Throwing Tevez's shirts away while he's still around and then falling in love with him the next moment.
  10. Average? Are you serious? Well, I hope you're serious, but I just can't believe you!
  11. Actually, I'm pretty sure it happened in the area between JT and Ivanovic. Ivanovic let him run past him too easily, and JT had to foul him. Anyway, Cole didn't impress me either today or last Sunday.
  12. That's not true. He failed to contain McAnuff who was threatening throughout the game. In fact, Reading's second goal came from a free kick McAnuff drew, and Ivanovic probably should have done better initially before JT had to come in and foul McAnuff.
  13. Torres actually creates quite a lot of chances for himself and others. He just doesn't know how to finish. And I don't think most of us expect anything fancy from him. Even if it's just 20 tap-ins a season, it's still 20 goals a season.
  14. To be fair, the Reading players surrounded Lampard whenever he was in possession, but he needs to be more aware when he's on the ball. It isn't the first time he's had that sort of display.
  15. I totally agree. I think he would make a fantastic winger given how agile and quick he is, but I think he'll make a fine striker as well, and he seemed to track back well. I don't know if that had to do with him coming off the bench and being fresh and all, but anyway, that was good to see.
  16. Don't earning penalties count as assists any more? Every site I've been to records his assist count to be either 1 (just from the Wigan match) or 3. EDIT: transfermarkt.co.uk says 5, though.
  17. He definitely lacks confidence. I'm not giving him an excuse, but it's more of a criticism. He goes into almost every match with little confidence, and his confidence pretty much hits rock bottom 30 minutes into the match unless he scores early on. You can see that he's a much better player when he's confident, but I seriously wonder what it will take for him to bounce back. Probably nothing.
  18. I thought Mikel was solid today. A couple misplaced passes, but overall, he looked very tidy, and his first touch was exceptional, I think, which was important when playing against high-pressing teams. Also, it was nice to see him push forward when he needed to.
  19. "Champions League, you're having a laugh." Well, karma's a bitch, ain't it? Cunts.
  20. I think it is. Ramires and Bertrand are the only two players suited to that role. Anyway, I'd like to see Ramires in the midfield as well although I'd play him next to Mikel and not Lampard.
  21. Arsenal have been garbage because they've failed to keep their good players not necessarily because they've been throwing away experience. Besides, we have no lack of experience in our side at the moment, and Malouda's experience isn't really needed especially considering he won't play many games for the team anymore and he's pretty much non-existent half the times he does play for us.
  22. Di Matteo wants to have a defensive winger in his side at all times because he prefers a balanced approach.
