I agree.

Don't think the 22 game season plus the cup will work, that would be like my time in Costa rica X 2, and admit it time dragged without me around But yeah seriously imo it will have to be one of the other. With my experience from my last time, hopefully i can build my team up quicker this time.

It's worth trying i guess, i would wait to check out the opinion's of the long serving members before making a final decision however.

We need to stop this fantasy we are going to get another Frank, 20 goals a season from central midfield, no one is going to replicate that in our lifetime if ever, we should just be glad we had him instead of trying to fantasize over "potential" other version's.

Are we having a cup this season?

@CHOULO19, Done.

about to sign up.

One of the few times Google has came up trumps for me!!!!!

I really think some won't rest until we have Gotze, Reus and Neymar as our alternative's for the amigo's

Neymar won't flop, absolutely no chance.

What was the logic off the manager and Canpagnaro leaving Napoli for Inter? Inter maybe a bigger name but their such a shite team these days it's ridiculous.

Shay Given,

If Hazard ever wants to go to Madrid, we will use that price for Bale to make him the first £100m player.

If the rumours are true that Hazard might want to go to Madrid in a few years, then because of this he will probably be the first £100m player.

Shame i couldn't carry on with my last team due to the fact i went away for 2 and a half months. I had one of the best teams in the league, hopefully if i get a good enough starter squad i can build something similar again. I wish they was more to the tactics tho, its basically rock, paper scissors unless you work out a pattern that your opponent uses.

The Skipper for me, although he has been nominated the last god knows how many times, he just continue's to raise the bar. Peace is a close 2nd for me, the definition of quality over quantity, i can't remember his last post that hasn't got a insane amount of reps.

Better not loan any one to Tottenham then with Levy about

I was watching that Swansea City rise and fall programme on BBC 1 and a member of their supporters trust who brought the club when they were shit (and still own it to this day) said one thing that struck me. "to run a successful football club you have to let your head rule your heart". Next time Roman makes an unpopular decision that goes against what our hearts say we should bear that in mind.

Worth a try i was wondering because i remember Wenger seeking guarantee's for Wilshere when he loaned him out.

Think that was Turnbull wasn't it at Goodison? then Cech came on and saved the pen? He did have some shockers in 06/07 after he was playing a run of games (which imo is his weakness, consistency) he seems like a player who performs when the novelty of playing is there but then gets bored. When i saw Blackman he blew hot and cold, i hope your right about him i really do as it would be good to see a homegrown keeper come through (maybe a loan this season see what he can do?) but as it stands i think Sam Walker out of the two has more of a chance of being our #3 when Hilario eventually goes, especially if he impresses again at Colchester.

Is their a playing time clause we can put in? like for example if he doesn't feature for 4 or start for 7 we can re-call him?

Sorry to bump this, but what i have noticed these past couple of years is their seems to be something in the water when it comes to Manchester City, they get over-rated so much it's borderline silly. Now are they a very good team? yes. Will they be there or there abouts next season? yes but they are not going to run away with it and they are so over-rated. Last season i heard and read a lot of people calling City the best team in the league despite the fact United ran away with the title. They are really good as i have said but are they a raise the bar side like Chelsea 04-05 or Arsenal 03-04? not even close. They had an incredible start in 11-12 where they looked the business but in the second half of that season didn't look as good and won the title because of that start they made and they have been living off the hype of that form ever since imo. I have never seen a team hyped up so much for so little reason, you would think they are dominating England and taking Europe by it's neck.

If Mourinho signs Rooney and plays him, Lukaku and even Ba more often than Nando, not even playing for Chelsea will get him picked for Spain, and now with Negrado and Soldado playing for top teams in the PL (Soldado to Spurs is as good as done from what i keep hearing) and likely to be regular starters, any lack of game time will be curtains to his chances of playing in Brazil next summer. He already has enough money to set himself up for life, would i do the same in his shoes? well, if i cared about my career probably but if i wasn't that bothered ill take the money, like i said Torres was considering his future last summer before we gave him assurances of playing time, so i guess he will be open to it, if Jose tells him his game time will be limited. There's still a chance of him leaving, because like i said he was thinking about it last summer

He took a paycut to leave his boyhood club and turned down an offer for Man.City that was even higher than what were paying him now. For all his other faults he loves his football, if he had the choice of money or a place in next summer's world cup, im pretty confident he will choose the latter, he was considering his future last summer before the club made him assurances he would be #1 forward.

The only true shocker he had for us imo was against Man.City, where the over-reaction's to that performance were borderline ridiculous, the forum i was on at the time suddenly he was one of the worst keepers we ever had and suddenly Turnbull was better was him. My problem with Hilario is he isn't great when he has to play a run of games for a while, the longer he went on in 06/07 the dodgier he looked but (Man.City the exception) he is proven capable of coming in and winning us points (where as Blackman isn't). On the top of my head Barcelona, Liverpool, he also came off the bench against Fenebache in the 07/08 quarter final and made a match winning save that would have dumped us out if it went in and against Blackburn the same season at Ewood Park where about 2 minutes after his arrival made a unbelievable save to keep us 1-0 up. Which was the match Hilario got sent off in ? because i can't recall any tbh.
