That was never an option, we never even wanted Suarez. To quote Jose: "It's Rooney or bust".

The threads that were posted in while the database problem was being being fixed got screwed up.

What do you mean "in that picture"?!

And Bertrand!

I disagree about the first two games, but there's no need to go into that now.

There's one somewhere in the past two pages. EDIT: Here's another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGvyjl_0X1I

I'm not sure Algerians use that as freely as Lebanese people do You probably just called him "My Lover"!

Brilliant, brilliant game. Some of the crosses he put in today were excellent, and the delivery for JT's goal was top notch. Well done, Ryan.

More technical ability. But Moses is miles ahead in terms of movement, tactical awareness, experience..etc which is perfectly normal. The kid is still 17! He has a lot of time to grow and develop well beyond Moses.

Josh and the other 5 youngsters will fly back to England and will NOT join the team in the US tour and will be replaced by the returning players from the Confederation cup. So Mou definitely won't be giving Josh a chance next match.

Hope it's nothing serious and he won't have to miss the US tour. Preseason is VITAL for a new signing, imo.

Sooo much better today. His movement was excellent and his passing was good. Maybe because 4-3-3 feels more natural to him? Or maybe because he's starting to gel more with the team? I don't know. I just hope to see more of this kind of performances. :cfc:

I wasn't moaning about anything, I actually think we are incredibly lucky to have such a talent in our team. I was just making an observation/analysis. In fact, in a latter post I even said that I would like him to be our number one striker this season even if he's not 100% ready (certainly not as ready as most people seem to think) because it would help him develop and would pay in the long run. At West Brom, he wasn't started in games when the striker needed to do a lot of hold-up play, and that's because they only had him on loan and wanted immediate results. Here, we have him for the long run, and even though he will struggle, I think he should get the most playing time out of our strikers because that will do a world of good for him. We've already had 3 consecutive seasons with struggling strikers, what's one more, right?

But they all blend in and are hardly noticeable. Will people pay 1-2 pounds per month to remove them?

Problem is mate, we only have one ad on the site!

Not sure about "prolonging" his career any further. Unless something unpredictable happens like Frank taking a player/coach position, or accepting a HUGE pay cut that would put him on the kind of wages that Paulo was on, I think/hope this will be Frank's last season here.

This is a bit late, but here's something that might help: If you're looking for a thread, go to advanced search options, and select "Search Thread Titles Only", that should find you what you're looking for. you can even specify in what section you want to search.

They're not reports. They're actual quotes from the actual president of Roma: http://www.soccernews.com/de-rossi-exit-possible-says-roma-president/122689/

Who cares for "reports" when Roma's president himself said that De Rossi is available? The only interest we had in De Rossi was made up by that cunt Palmeri.

No because our team is not built around our strikers but rather around our attacking midfielders. Bar City, who in the PL has a midfield that even compares to ours?

No. No it won't. It's just preseason. If anything it tells us who still needs match fitness more.

Roma president himself said that they might sell De Rossi so his availability was never in question. If we wanted him we would have signed him by now but I honestly think we were never really interested.

Right. Got that messed up. Thanks for the corrections.

Heard he played with Boro in a friendly yesterday. Not sure how true that is, though.

Seems from preseason Jose thinks more of him as a CB. Shame as I really think he could become a great box to box midfielder.
