Sturridge was seen as an average player towards the end of his career at City. Bags of potential but not enough end product. Basically they didn't think he was going to become "all that". That's what opposition fans kept saying and said after we signed him. Lukaku was already established player with the potential to be a feared striker. I don't know why his touch is so poor right now because he didn't look that bad in the youtube videos, so either the Belgium league is really, really poor or people conveniently left that part of his game out lol

VERY good point. I think that 18m today isn't the same as what 18m was worth 4-5 years ago. 18m is probably the same as about 12m. Transfers in the last few years have heavily inflated the market. I.E. Torres, the English lumps of shit at Liverpool, City's dealings, etc Plus, he was bought for 13m in initial fees. So that's.. About 8m. Which I don't think is that bad. I don't know.. A different way of looking at it, I guess.

Hello and welcome to the forum It's very nice to see you popping in here. Really looking forward to playing you guys, should be two great games

Can we buy Hamsik and Cavani in January just so that they won't play against us? lol

Think Arsenal will win! And even though we've gotten the toughest possible opponent 2nd leg at home is a big advantage. Think we'll edge it.

Fucking Spanish teams get the easiest teams grrrr

Surprise surprise we get the toughest team lol Milan v Arsenal! haha Draw has been pretty good so far. Two shit teams against one another: Lyon v APOEL Two stronger teams against one another: Milan v Arsenal

Why is Anelka is the wrong position? He's not used to playing so high up the pitch. Hilario Bosingwa Terry Ferreira Essien Anelka Lampard Mikel Kalou Malouda Drogba

Where's Kalouda?

nope welcome lol

Amazing.

Well there's nothing we can do now. Whether or not AVB is telling the truth, we'll just have to wait and see. Lets just use him as much as we can and bring as much success as we can with him in the team. If the clause exists and Barca are gonna take him back then what can we do?

Nice I was in pretty much the same location when Frank netted that beauty from the spot in March against Utd :D

Plus the Barca fans (and probably Spanish media in general) hate us and definitely don't like that he is doing well at our club.

LOL it's not as if we're playing our youth team There is something called rotation... And honestly, Wigan are one of the worst teams in the Prem right now. At least teams like Wolves can provide a hostile atmosphere even if the team is shit which can cause problems. Wigan's fans are awful.

^ Doesn't really matter I mean JT was a Utd supporter, Gerrard was an Everton fan, etc etc. If there is a better offer for the player then the player will choose it.

Think a lot of it is to do with the awful youngsters that have come/are coming through the ranks in England as compared to Spain, Germany, etc

My condolences, Steve. Take as much time as you need

Never was going to live up to that price tag anyway. Can we think of it as 80m spent on Torres + Mata + Sturridge + Romeu? Sounds better that way.

So many threads lol

I know, right?! A Liverpool fan said that he's a traitor and he "can't believe Meireles wanted to leave" and I replied with "Well you kept playing the lump of shit that is Henderson over him. How do you think that made him feel?" and he shut up

$60 a month is really expensive! I can't believe hosting prices are so high!
