I never said he wasn't American nor that he it was culturally, religiously, whatever driven, I said that the media will contort it to fit their narrative.

People love eating up half-truths and trash content without ever looking at the context. It's the memeculture of the internet and Hideo Kojima and several other Japanese writers predicted this sort of nonsese in the late 90s and early 00s.

Doesn't matter. It may be the truth but the truth will distorted by both the Liberal and Conservative media. The former will say how Murika has to change to help these people fit in (because the world is a simple hug box and all cultures can get along) and the later will talk about how there is a radical Islamic issue that needs to be addressed, with enhanced scare mongering tactics. On another note. Also in Florida a young pop singer was murdered at a concert. Florida is a very odd state. Not somewhere I'd live.

Trump or Clinton... at least it isn't Justin Trudeau. My god that man has the mental capacity of a small naive child. How he has progressed so far in life I'll never know, perhaps his looks? It is like the liberal version of George W. Bush, that is volume of his what falls out of his mouth. But hey, at least the Dubya Bust administration did some wonderful work in Africa lowering AIDs.

I didn't say sell him to Man Utd. Thanks, though.

Agreed. He is rubbish outside of a robust system, the archetype of a 'system babby'. He only looks like a fantastic DM when everything is funnelled towards him.

They have all been bad. Except Bill, he was my boy. He got the succ.

Well, no one sans yourself has complained...soooooo....

English or not, names are names; unless a different alphabet is considered.

Why?

Did you know it is [CURRENT YEAR]?

It's subjective besides must everything always be so serious?

Horrible business. A loan later and he is thrice as expensive.

I don't care if he fails or not. I just want to see Chelsea do well; if it happens simultaneously with United's success than so be it.

You are forgetting the initial 10,000,000 to Anderlecht. So the equation would be 10-30+65 which is 45. That's a lot of money, 45,000,000 pounds. But is never that simple because in the mean time the club has spent that money received from Lukaku's transfer. So no matter, it will always be 65,000,000.

I'm close to echoing that sentiment.

I cannot think of all the examples (perhaps you can help with that) but I know for a fact that Real Madrid and Atletico have both employed the 4-4-2 in the past two years. Even as Pizy said clubs like Watford and West Ham are enjoying the new found success with this approach. I could be wrong but I do believe that Max Allegri's Juventus are also fond of the 4-4-2. I find great joy in the irony of England's best chances lying in the 4-4-2. For years Three Lions managers struggled to let go of this tactic and now that everything has come full circle; England's once weakness could be a strength.

That is the thing. I believe 4-4-2 is modern football!

Well, it does look like we are seeing the rebirth of England's beloved 4-4-2. Football lives in cycles and it seems to me that we are witnessing the return of the 'big striker' 'little striker' dichotomy. Of course, strictly speaking I'm not just referring to their physical sizes.

It's not always about sheer numbers or what is palpable on a spreadsheet. Brevity of goals scored, movement, vision, intelligence is often difficult to quantify and express through numbers and data. From what I've seen Alvaro Morata is a forward with a physical presence, intelligent movement and the technical skill to utilise both feet and head. Maybe that isn't what you desire in a striker but be sure that he has qualities that managers lust for otherwise he'd never have been playing for Real Madrid or Juventus.

I was acting on @CHOULO19 behest, even though he didn't ask me or intend for this to happen.

Dunno mate.

Oh, are Asamoah and Bonucci actually linked or is that merely conjecture? Oh, I'd take the latter without a thought! Marvellous technical skills for a defender.

I heard the opposite. From what I know de Boer and Bergkamp have never seen eye to eye and that Bergkamp is a staff member for Ajax as opposed to de Boer (if you follow). de Boer has his own staff and will more than likely take them with him.

Kurt Cobain.
