HAHAHAHA even during celebration Torres gets one in the face

lol, I think what he meant was that Guarin has joined Juve (since it's a transfer topic and all) http://www1.skysport...t-for-Juve-move

ah yeah, forgot Lukaku.. but isn't Piazon a midfielder? Also forgot Feruz, so I guess we've been signing for every position.

I wonder if two hands will be enough to count our defensive prospects if this happens... apart from Davila I don't think we've signed any young attackers.

Why isn't twitter on the list of "banned sources" or smth? or is it?

Lamps was training in regular sneakers... wonder why :tophat:

he'd be a great signing, I like players who make manu feel inferior

So, it begins...

IF Willian signs, he will probably come by the time when Drogba is nearly back.

Tbh it's kinda undeniable that he's been one of our best yet this season, without him our midfield looks weaker. Although I agree, ideally most of our starting XI would be squad/rotation players, but we don't have better players that's just a fact. And Meireles should never play together with Rami imo, they should be each other's backups for the same position.. but that's not possible all the time because of the shortage we have in midfield - we have 3 defensive mids (Mikel, Romeu, Essien) while only one who is a natural CAM (Lampard, and we all know his age).. so Meireles is a backup for 2 positions (Lamps's and Rami's). If to think about it, AVB's options in midfield are rather limited and none of them seem to be ideal. We are playing on fumes and it shows in many performances.

good point

I don't understand, you guys are talking as if the deal has been done and confirmed. Is there any source confirming that we signed him and are loaning him back, or are we criticizing the board in advance for the heck of it? Talk about the influence of rumours on people... Anyway, if this is true, then I imagine Genk themselves have asked for this option. Maybe it's for the better, he seemed raw in the games against us, and a Belgian fellow who's keeping us updated on him, keeps saying that he hasn't been playing very good lately. Better he came here on a high rather than in shaky form to face new and tougher challenges.

Two good games not that it makes a lot of difference. I wikid him and this caught my eye. It says he plays striker, yet he has 66 league apps and only 3 goals for Palace... eerrm?

@CJ Revo: I'd rather put Mata in the middle and Willian on the flank, while giving them freedom to swap positions. And you seem to be making Torres an automatic starter, why? For example, in the second formation you say Studge would get left out of the team, when in fact he could play CF instead.

it would matter in the sense that if he went now we'd get and save money from that

If he doesn't make the first team ahead of Kalouda right away then it would be a sign of worry

sooooo are we being linked or what?

I thought they were going to try and figure out if he said what he allegedly said, but it seems they've taken it a step further and are now trying to deem JT racist or non-racist.

Since it was on the front of a newspaper, my first thought was something a la Breivik massmurders guess that was that then. But taking into consideration that he came back from the future, then he chose not to kill himself, otherwise he couldn't have been able to come back

what kind of acts?

what choice was it? first thing that popped to my mind was suicide lol.. some kind of pills/poison and a knife. so he had to choose whether to kill himself or not?

didn't understand, can you explain what's going on there?

Cech doesn't seem to be receding in that picture

exactly, I highly doubt we'd be able to find 11 of them

I think it's pretty much established that Lille are the one stopping from anything happening, because if they weren't, he'd be snatched up already. Up until now we've heard only rumours based on AVB saying "we won't sign him" and people wishfully twisting his words to "we'll sign in". Well, that and quoteless goal.com/daily mail.
