manpe

it didn't bounce before hitting him

it must be Rooney, come on

What? It's Mata on Henrique's avatar? I was 100% sure it was Rooney mock-up what's p45?

I have a feeling that if he was to be sacked, Roman would have done so already. At least he's showing more patience than before.

The biggest obstacle is reaching an agreement with Porto. I think Hulk would cost more than Hazard, they wanted a big price for only Pereira - Hulk would cost twice as much. How about having both Hazard and Hulk It would be jizz-worthy

We don't have the luxury to pick and choose. Whoever we get of this calibre, we'll be lucky.

It doesn't matter how big it is, but what you can do with it.

It's like in Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho allegedly favours his Portuguese and the Spanish aren't happy. It seems that here the Portuguese and Brazilians are happy, but English, French (one now, Anelka got kicked already) and African seem rather unhappy. It's a shame if AVB is nationally biased.

I like TX's grotesque

This goal alone puts Sheva above Torres, no question about it

lol

11+7=18

There were really strong targets and confirmed targets (Pereira, Modric, Vargas, Neymar, Lucas Moura), but the club failed to sign them... either they didn't want to join or the opposite club asked too much money. The manager is not the negotiator.. He may help persuading the player (like was the case with Mata), but first there must be an agreement between the clubs, which did not happen. It was not AVB's fault. Bring back Kenyon.

Reality is that we should have never been through the Grants and Scolaris if everything had been done right from the beginning. The fish rots from its head.. sub-par players and underachieving managers are a consequence, a symptom if you will.

past being the emphasised word AVB hasn't had the chance to give us anything yet

that's impressive but worrying.

If Bertrand doesn't play I'll flip. I will seriously change my vote to yes in "AVB out" topic.

This is becoming more and more like Real Madrid. Remember recent news where the players, led by Ramos and Casillas, confronted Mourinho over his tactics? The same seems to be happening here.

Can't blame him, current tottenham side is better than us and more likely to achieve something.

Exactly. Last year of Mourinho was a hint of things to come, we were so much slower then than we were a year and two back. And it wasn't entirely JM's fault, but the board's who interrupted with his management constantly, and to this day continue to do so.

yeah, you're right... in you go Malouda!

lol, they take football too seriously

yeah that's one way to escape the embarrassment

his passing really is something

Drogba, Malouda, Kalou, Benayoun and Ferreira are almost all certain to leave
