Please stop quoting that 007 shit

I think it's pointless to assign a position to Mata, Hazard and Oscar. All three have experience playing different positions/roles and they should keep switching depending on the matchup. And of course, all three are better than our other options, so they should just play even if it's not their "natural" position Back to Modric, I think he's the player we've needed - a world class player at one of double pivot positions

If not him, who else would start at LW? Malouda? Hazard's been featured heavily in the preseason and will start come Sunday

Not sure if I am supposed to be impressed or discouraged after watching that vid. Good goal though

Think someone of his calibre is exactly who we should be looking at - good option off the bench and against weaker opponents

Still nothing from a reliable source after that Guardian fiasco

Hopefully they continue with Fabregas

He's less than a year younger than Torres. I would like someone younger, but if the price is right....

It's probably because of the much-used comparison, but the first thing that came to my mind after watching that goal is Bosingwa's against Norwich lol

Essien in for Mikel please

Mikel has to wake up

You should give this a watch Rationality means little in sports

Of all the games I've watched, he only impressed in two: against Denmark and Mexico (today). Seeing how Porto wants a ridiculous amount of money, I think it would be a waste of time to go after him

Why not go to East Asia instead? Two out of four semifinalists were from there

Hopefully he can get some minutes. He's still got some competition there

1. Nothing compared to the senior side, but it is nearly the best U23 side they could name considering the circumstances. So both of you are right. 2. Don't know about Egypt, but Korea outplayed Mexico for majority of the game, so it's definitely arguable that they have better side than Mexico 3. Not sure what you two are trying to say. Think it was pretty clear that everyone participating in the Olympics was motivated to do well. Spain was, Team GB was, and Brazil for sure was.. and the list goes on

He rarely plays at RW. If anything, he plays on the left side more closer to Neymar

We should go after Damiao instead to continue with the Brazilian Invasion theme.

Neymar who?

20 goals and 16 assists in 35 matches and you think he lacks creativity? That's supposed to be one of his strengths.

I can see JT's number being unofficially retired, but there's no way that numbers from 1 to 11 should or will be retired. If we want to honour the likes of Drogs and Lamps, we should build statues of them instead.

Fuck off Meireles

Been waiting for this for the longest time, and I watched the game live too lol

Lamps said that if he doesn't start he at least wants to see the team win. We didn't when we played clearly inferior players and his "anger" at AVB was pretty much justified. I doubt he will cry like a baby if a world class talent like Oscar replaces him.

I would say a RB and a veteran striker who will cost close to nothing
