  1. This could work!!! Corrected one position though. They do not creat goalies in that hazardous factory.
  2. I completely agree here. This is a long term versus short term strategy. Courtois - besides being an awesome belgian :-) - is a future asset to us, where as I am not sure about Falcao. Sorry to go into Falcao/Cavani here but it is relevant for Courtois. I am glad Spike said it out loud, because I thinkit is true. Ok, Falcao got a LOT of talk. He scored a lot of goals and is in his prime now (28 yesterday I think which means he has a limited expiry date on him compared to others). I still think it would be Rong to sign him. It has Torres 2.0 written over it a bit. I do not mean he will have a drop in skills like Torres obviously had (injuries?), but when you look at his stats you see him mixing good games with games in which he is largely absent (Granada, Real, Celta de Vigo, Levante, ... ) Sound familiar, especially because besides Real the teams aren't all hat super great? His defensive contribution might tilt the - non existing - balance in our team even further off (funky pivot, Mata and Hazard that aren't exactly kings of defensive work). And, you can have all this for the price of a billion gazillion bucks. Hmmmm. How is that sensible? I prefer a good, robust policy on the long term. However, we do need a top striker now. There is Ba, Lukaku and a big hole to be filled next year. I would indeed, as Spike, prefer Cavani. He scores pretty much on an equally regular basis then Falcao, but he contributes much more in terms of link up and defensive work. Also, his consistency is much higher and this is what we are going to need - something good and dependable - aged 25! So the best is yet to come. Investment wise this would be much more rational. Just compare the performances the last games to compare reliability/ consistency: Falcao: http://www.whoscored.com/Players/18701/ Cavani: http://www.whoscored.com/Players/24328/
  3. God, this feels good, doesn't it!!!
  4. Also in the National team. This guy is ready for us.
  5. Yup, goal and assist. Two times the woodwork it seems. Ps: looked like you were happy Marin scored on here
  6. No problem. I do respect your opinion (which you clarified - thanks! )
  7. And the post at the start :-) nice game he had apparently!
  8. Strange. My biased view is supported by many, many better scouts and managers than you, also I believe it still is ok to supporter or a player you like, no? I believe I am still safe :-) Also, you did not pay shit for him and still expect him to be Messi. Your conclusions about him thinking of himself as world class are the figments of your imagination I fear. Let's judge him in due time, that's all I am saying. Again, don't get so worked up about it and enjoy the game.
  9. Yep, he is a great player and glad we have him. Nice facial expression as well, though :-)
  10. Like I said: not that shit again. Look at his stats - only Mata did better + concerning the hype: If we have to believe everything the media makes it out to be ... Pfff. Actually: your comment looked more a kneejerk retaliation on Sutro's joke. Lighten up.
  11. Damn, just hit the post. Nice shot!
  12. I don't know. I almost peed myself seeing those pics :-)
  13. This is so over the top. Torres again and next game AGAIN? Is he sucking your c**** after training FSW??! And to say I was feeling optimistic for this one.... I hope this is FSW's final voyage in blue, really. There is NO logic in this anymore.
  14. The sweet spot is ALWAYS in between .... Gnah, gnah, gnah :-)
