Tis slightly grey-ish when bolded in quotes.

Ah, alright. I thought you meant in terms of quality/ability of the teams in those leagues.

Do you not know of French/Russian/Dutch/Portugese leagues?

I see that there are some changes to the skin. Quick note, bolded text appears gray in quotes, and it is on a gray background. Needs to be changed to black I think. (the font, not the background)

That ship has sailed and we need to move on. Higuain is right up there with strikers like Cavani, Falcao, Villa, who were/are linked with us.

Essien played at right back, didnt he?

What you say is valid, but in many other matches that I do watch at home, he looks lively, making good off the ball runs, even frequently closing down defenders at full pace. I have not witnessed it in the Spurs game however.

Assuming he functions best as a winger, would this mean that Sturridge is shifter to CF?

No I do not. But I made it a specific note of watching him when he's playing, and I have to say the lack of workrate is really disappointing. Especially as I've been advocating for him to get a chance in the first team.

That's the general consensus

Aw, cmon, I've written such a long reply and you won't even debate it

That would be a valid excuse, but he doesnt make any runs to receive the ball. Watch him during the ten minutes he has, it was at walking pace, and the defenders did not have any trouble marking him.

Why didn't you train to be a footballer when you were a wee lad then? Only yourself to blame.

Why, he doesn't try in the first team.

He's relatively quick for a defender. There aren't many CBs around with great pace. Any local running team would probably eat them alive in any distance.

Lots of Serbian bias in there. The fact is that even Kalou and Malouda the supposed "crap" players of our team, contributed far more to our team last season than Krasic did in his supposedly "amazing" season with Juventus. Please justify 6 goals and six assists in 33 starts. These are stats that midtable wingers would have! And he plays in the notoriously slow Seria A. In comparison, Danny already has 10 goals and Mata, roughly 10 assists, and we arent even halfway into the season. What makes you think that he would get in our team? Or even get minutes? I agree that spending big money is not necessarily the way forward, but nor is signing below Kalou/Malouda/Anelka level players. Good buy? No chance. Let's try him on a loan with a buy clause, because with a buy, I fear we are throwing money away.

Hopefully, and at the reported 20m, a better value than something like 50m for Cavani or 40m falcao, etc

Yeah, he has done a lot with Valencia, not sure why people in England think he's below Kean/Coyle/etc.

He's gonna play Torres at cb, you heard it here first. Edit; Ramires is banned

Yeah, because having two champions league titles does not make you one of the top managers.

Are you suggesting that some people don't rate Kalou? Because if that's what you're saying, you're wrong. He is loved by every human being who watches football because he's a joy to watch.

No, no, no. Chalobah is not ready. We have better options. Ferreira, Cole, Romeu or Bosingwa at CB are all better shouts.

No, seriously, where'd you get it from?

Where'd you get that from?
