  1. Sorry but no way is Real going to sell Higuain, the guy is an immense goal scoring machine... I would love him to be here, one of the best finishers out there. But sadly I can't see it happening. Tbh I've been dreaming of Higuain for a long time, I just haven't said anything because he seems like an unrealistic target... on the other hand, so did Torres. I don't rate Benzema as highly as Higuain.
  2. "Prosecutors will now have to consider if they have enough evidence to take the case to court, and whether it would be in the public interest." Why didn't Suarez go to court? Why can't FA deal with it, bunch of incompetent cunts
  3. For it to work, Hiddink may not think he's more important than AVB... Andre's word first, Guus's second. Otherwise we'll have the Mourinho fiasco vol. 2.
  4. I somewhat agree. When Mourinho was manager, he demanded his wingers to defend... if they didn't track back once to help the fullbacks, you could see Jose getting pissed at the sideline. That defensive unity was what made us the best in that department back then. Studge, Anelka and Mata are abysmal at defending... Malouda, not so much, he tracks back quite often. But in attacking sense, I think he finishes just above Kalou, but below everybody else.
  5. Torres always speaks the right words, but it rarely reflects on the pitch
  6. True, warnie... Suarez has no real obligations to be anything at all, he can be a racist cheating diving cunt all he wants, nobody expects him to be anything but a player for liverpool anyway... But JT is an icon and his duties include being the perfect role model, and when he slips, then leeches are on to him. It's all about how much papers sell. Still don't understand the metro police involvement though, that was uncalled for by the FA.
  7. I could probably beat him... I'm better than a manu player, fuck yeah. But seriously, I probably couldn't
  8. Justin Bieber had an autobiography at the age 16...
  9. I'm not saying it's his fault, how can it be. I'm just saying that imo it's much easier to look a good player there than in top European leagues, especially in England which by the looks of it emphasises pressure and tight spaces the most. And about Messi... Spain is a strong league, EPL has been made look invincible by the media, it's not. There is a big gap between Spanish and Brazilian leagues and not a big gap between Spanish and English.. in fact I think Spanish top teams are stronger than English top teams. European top leagues will show if Ganso and Neymar are truly world class. And well, Messi is Messi... if you watch him play, he's incredible operating in tight spaces and keeping the ball glued to his feet. And I'm not saying he won't be able to do it with harder pressure, I'm just saying that imo he'd struggle at first and it's a risk.
  10. I think the automatic bans will be enforced after recent events, when shonex posted that it was pretty much an isolated situation in the heat of a moment. And now that our club is in racial turmoil, it will be important to keep the fan forums clean, otherwise it won't do our image any good... and it's been damaged enough already.
  11. Yeah, there's a massive gap between Brazilian and English league... At one point in that video there was a situation which summed it up for me.. Ganso (or sb else) received the ball in mid circle and he had an opposition player near him, but instead of pressurizing the player with the ball, he ran away from him, giving yet again incredible amount of space. I think he'd struggle in EPL.
  12. I miss Drogba's free kicks I always got excited when we got a fk in a comfortable position for Drogs... Now I don't get nearly as excited.
  13. well in that video he did seem to track back and defend... Neymar looked class, we should sign both of them, they work well together But the amount of space they had was amazing.
  14. And if it fails like before and we lose, then we won't hear the end of "AVB out" bandwagoners
  15. feel genuinely sorry for her although being global mod for so long it's nothing new to her
  16. Well, I think the hardest part is actually leaving your friends behind, making your family leave their friends behind (if they move with you) and it's especially hard for young children to fit in a new place with a new language and a new school (if they move from one country to another). It would certainly be the hardest part for me.
  17. Bosingwa's stats over Cole are indeed impressive, but marking is key, and marking cannot be put into numbers... and in that department Bos falls short. Also almost all the teams have attacked from our right side, I would be interested to see those stats with the "/attempted" comparison. And Cole's crossing is almost as bad as Jose's But we've had our eyes more or less shut over that because it's a common agreement that he's just simply more effective in defence.
  18. So Tevez has yet again angered City http://www.thesun.co...-goes-AWOL.html http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3924398/Manchester-City-confirm-Carlos-Tevez-absence.html
  19. I agree... we've all been blind, blaming the players, while we totally lack psycho technique coaches
  20. Is Cahill quick? If he's slow like Terry or Alex, then no thanks... we need more pacey defenders in our high line defence.
