Boy, you are really trying, aren't you? Still got a long long LONG way to go reach Phil's level.

To say he has the talent to capitalize on our mistakes is like saying anybody who manages to capitalize on our mistakes is talented and that includes people like Shane Long, Jozy Altidore, Connor Wickham etc.

That part doesn't sound right at all.

No kidding. The wankfest and the way people have been talking like we even have a chance of signing Bale is hilarious, to put it kindly.

Where I did say that I don't think he will improve us? Some fellas really need to differentiate between having doubts and things like thinking the player is average etc just because of one comment against him.

Oh Harry, you got a lot to live up to then...

So, having doubt or not convinced on ONE aspect of his game constitutes as me MASSIVELY underestimating him? I could easily turn around and say you're MASSIVELY overestimating him. You still have not provided any argument on his effectiveness in dealing with deep defences. All you have said is him being great in shooting from distance and now a pretty good dribbler. Pretty sure I can see that myself.

So, you want us to buy Bale only because he can shoot from distance? You still haven't provided a sound argument to counter TheChels' point of Bale being ineffective against deep defences.

Just because they are Mourinho's favorite player, doesn't mean they will play all the time. The situation with Ramires last season will tell you that and Willian doesn't even always start. Mourinho has been rotating him with Schurrle on the RW since last season.

On paper, those clubs may look more tempting than us but if they actually use their brain and think about the situation, then no. We can't them offer them first team role? Like there won't be rotation at Real, Barca or Bayern. You do realise IF (IF!) we do get Reus, he would probably seal that RW spot as his own already given how Willian, Schurrle and Salah have failed to convince.

Did I even mention anything about Manchester United?

I'm not sure why people are so concerned about competing with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona etc for Reus. They failed to stop us from getting Hazard in 2012, no? Moreover, if Reus is smart, he wouldn't go to Real and if he's true to his loyalty, then he wouldn't join Bayern Munich. As for Barcelona, they still have that transfer window ban hanging over them, which means they can't sign any new players in either of the two transfer windows in 2015.

Never mind. Let them continue. Would love to see the meltdown here...

I may not necessarily disagree with Courtois' point about Belgium's performance against Iceland but it seems like he has a tendency to combust in the heat of the moment, only to then back track a little after that.

We do. Only issue is those shots were often than not wayward. Besides, this issue can be fixed with more practicing. It's not like this aspect of the game is only something Bale is good at. Yeah but what if the opposing teams sit back and defend deep? This goes back to the point TheChels brought up above. What can Bale do when oppositions 'park the bus'? So? I don't think pace is really an issue with the team right now. More of executing counter attacks correctly, if anything.

Blimey. Ranieri's Greece lost 1-0 to Faroe Islands! They are rock bottom in their group right now. Unbelievable.
