Easily ahead of Kalou, no doubt. I'd rather pick Anelka ahead of Studge because of the experience and the way Anelka helps the team. But I can't stand Kalou coming on every match instead of Sturridge...
He's truly loved over here in Germany - so I'm more than happy he's found these nice words for the greatest club of all time His attitude and experience will be missed... always a great player, so unlucky he didn't win the Champions League...
I agree with you here, this will be an incredibly close and sensitive season, he won't experiment at the start. Maybe when we're 2-0 or more up to the 60th he can bring on one future prospect (Sturridge/Kakuta). But I can't see Carlo fielding players younger than 23 years in the starting line-up in the Prem or Champions League.
Was wondering about that, too. _______ Cech Ivanovic, Terry, Alex, Cole ____ Essien, Mikel ______ Lampard Anelka, Drogba, Malouda Ramires to come on for Lamps after 60 mins and Kakuta to come on for Anelka after 80 mins.
Come on... ONE Brazil cap in a FRIENDLY against a below-par USA TEAM is what you call "having proved yourself against big opponents"? Oh and plus you seem to know the boy pretty good... I won't discuss on this anymore. All you heard about him was in Goal.Com articles and from people calling themselves agents... neither is a reliable source. Additionally I think Sturridge is much better future prospect, knows the league and has the right physique. I don't know why you all creating such a hype about Neymar's technique, why is nobody talking bout the most talented boy concerning technique, Kakuta?
Give me one quotation that states he's keen on coming here. Not his agent or his father or Pele - the boy himself has to talk. Despite that... we will never pay more than 25m for a 18-year-old who hasn't even proved anything in a big league or against big opponents.
Good if he decides to stay - that means no other team will buy him and we can see this season what he will deliver under much more pressure. He won't sign a contract extension since he wants to move on in one or two years, his buy-out clause will not be higher by then.
True, number 7 was used by right wingers. That's how it looked like when numbers were introduced: ______________ 9 _____________ __ 11 ____________________ 7 __ _____________________________ ________ 10 ________ 8 ________ _____________________________ ________ 6 ____ 5 _____ 4 ______ ___ 3 ____________________ 2 ___ ______________ 1 ______________
