I like how they compare Torres to players like Etto and Abel Hernandez. Got no clue who that even is

If point out the Torres deal as the reason for our revolutionized transfer policy, it could have been a blessing in disguise. Since then we have not made a single bad deal IIRC. The ones that did not work out like Lukaku or De Bruyne we sold with a huge profit. God, I can't say how relieved I will be when Torres finally fucks off. Hope we will still do these Azpilicueta-type deals when we have his weight of our shoulders. But I am "confident"

Everyone would say no to Milan. They are a sinking ship.

i'd also think so. After Galliani has already confirmed to fans that he would be in for FT and MvG he just can't come out and say he failed twice.

good he stays. We would once again be paper thin and in midfield and unable to play 4-3-3 if he leftt. HOpefully Milan are not frustrated and give up on Torres,too.

There is no way we were not in the market if he is actually that unexpensive. However I believe he is vastly overrated. Never played at a major tournament or in the CL. How come he goes for only 24 m when he was rumoured to cost 35+. Probably Bayern's lure and some nice corruption behind the curtains.

Also not seen anything of Destro before we were linked with him, but he actually seems pretty clinical and robustly built. ON the downside he is much more expensive, slower and less experienced than Remy.

They got more depth but our first team is faster, more balanced and more creative than theirs.

pool are so fuckin useless. never gonna play a part in the title race. It is between us and City and no fuckin else.

Deeply saddened by his death. One of the greatest directors in the film business of all times and also a world class actor. I will never forget his wroks esp. Gandhi and Cry freedom but also shadowland and a bridge too far are very underrated movies - coincidentially the latter is is about young men going from Britain to Arnheim for work. Sounds familiar to me^^

There is no way, they can start all Di Maria, Mata, Rooney and RvP in a regular league match. Not even in a 3-5-2 with Shaw or so in the mix. Given Herrera is not exactly a good tackler as well, it would leave them with at best 5 players who actually CAN defend.

The problem is not buying another player but getting rid of Torres. No one will ever be so dumb to pay his wages +Torres won't be so dumb to accept a significant cut. I also wonder how on earth we could be so naive to give him a 5,5 year deal. He will be on 175k pw when he is fuckin 32. Wouldn't a 3,5 year deal have sufficed? We could have easily prolonged it with these wagesn if he had been a hit.On the other hand, we could still just buy wickham or rodirguez as a 3rd striker. But honestly, how much better would they do Torres? Torres has 10 turnovers per game, 2 or 3 decent dribbles, an incredible miss and a goal every few months. But you know Torres will not completely lose it in a CL game. Would you really trust wickham or Rodriguez vs BAyern or Real madrid in the cl?

decent game from him. On a different note. Barca has become a little bit disappointing. Players like bravo, Rafinha, haddadi and matthieu. Ok players, but Barca used to have a WC one on every position.

It is a mix of Louis van Gaal's siluoette and David Moyes face - the latter of course has no eyebrows.

maybe, but men grow until their early 20ies and Courtois is listed as 1,99 since he joined us when he was 19. It is probable that he gained two or more cms since then

Chances are that Utd are already out of the title race once di Maria is actually integrated.

Everton donate Arse point. They will probably not be so kind to us next week.

Arsenal are always so easy undone by big strong strikers with their "intelligent, modern defenders". Honestly which striker in the world will be scared by mertesacker or koscielny? i hope costa and Drogba rape them even harder. Arse: buy a collection of decent attacking midfielders - play them out of position all the time

Agree, he was unbelievable today. Did his job defensively, most burnley attacks came through the middle or the azpi's side. (him and matic had rather average games) But more importantly he was everywhere. He bombed down the flank like a 2nd winger, but recovered so fast, leicester did not even dare to attack his side. When they did, he defended it no-nonsensestyle and got the ball our of play with a simple tackle. Playing RB, RW and ST,no problem for Iva. Absolutely loved how a player this big gets on mazy runs in the opposition's box, easily passes players and completely roasts two defenders witha simple feint. Could have had a hattrick today if it wasn't for some amazing goalkeeping by schmeichel

Iva would be my motm. shown exactly whe he has that RB spot nailed on for years. He maybe can't cross but he surely can attack

that should do

our shots from 16 to 22m are shocking. Schmeichel is not exactly a top goalie

the ref is laying rocks in our way the whole game, probably will whole season but this time it won't matter

ivanovic has had an unreal game so far

finally
