Term-X

Lampard would be the better option for a future Chelsea manager. Heck, I'd place Ballack before Terry. Lampard has the highest I.Q in the premier league. He seems to have a better grasp of football in general from a tactical standpoint (my interpretation from interviews in comparison with JT). Plus he's exceptional at dealing with the press.

It's like what Clevemayer said, even players with the 'allround' special quality only play 85% of their skill level, when playing in another position. So if a keeper is suffering from poor form (less than 10) or gets injured, you'll be fucked.

The Man-City home game in december should be an interesting one, I wonder if Mancini will go with the 8-1-1 formation again.

Lampard signing a Torres shirt..

When a player has played 14 league games, he becomes loyal to the club. Thought i'd post that again, considering my post will now appear before any new ones due to this silly illogical restriction on my posts.

He's 31 years old, 32 in May. EskWeston has more or less hit the nail on the head here. Benayoun was never THAT player described in the thread title. He's a squad player, who looks better than he actually is, in a squad lacking any real competition in that position. This concept of 'give him the chance, and he'll become a first team player' is madness. When you considering his age and what he can offer an elite European club in the grand scheme of things.

14 games.

Thank you. It's a shame the administrators turn a blind eye to this, and instead decide to publicly label me as something I'm not.

Yet again, you've falsely interpreted something as 100% serious. It's a shame things get blown up very easily on here. I expressed an opinion on the new legends, and continued to do so in my signature. I actually left this thread alone (like I said I would), the only reason you've publicised this, is due to a 'signature'. All I did was edit Madmax's user bar. Essentially, my contribution since 2009 was ignorantly discredited. Therefore my stance on this issue should be accepted. Why even have a thread for this, if you can't express an opinion?

Surely that money would be better spent building a squad, rather than doing man-city a favour.

Don't flatter yourself. I was merely pointing out how ridiculous that 'comment' was, in which you originally aimed towards myself.

If Samsung wanted anything to do with our stadium name, they would have signed up for Gourlay’s grand plan back in 2009, which clearly failed.

I thought the football related part of that post was the important stuff, but guess you suffer from a misplaced sense of priorities.

Those claims against Roman are baseless though. Ethiad & Man-city are the same thing, run by the same family. Ethiad have never even made a profit! Yet the 'sheik family' have secured a £400m sponsorship deal with (practically) themselves.

Roman never tried to bend the rules with deals like City have made with practically themselves (ethiad).

There's nothing wrong with discussing/questioning suspect deals by the corrupt sheiks.

Where have Corinthians suddenly got £40m from? First the deal with Etihad and now this, I suppose that's one way to get around financial fair play.. Corrupt sheikhs, smh.

Well I imagine he will be starting most of the pre-season games. Due to the fact he won't be playing in the first few games of the season, due to his suspension.

I don't see why it has to make a re-appearance though? Jim originally removed it, after he realised it was flawed and now it has returned (for some reason). Especially for silly things like a 'typo'. The edited line should be a choice, but if it has to remain, at least have a 'time limit' after the post has been submitted. So if the post has been edited beyond 5 minutes of submission (for example) then and only then, the edit line should appear.

Indeed. An extremely premature thread, considering personal terms have yet to be agreed with the player.

Madmax: Newbie BluesChick: less than 1,000 posts, low activity, joined the same year I did. We Hate Socuse: 2007 member.. fair enough. Meh, I'll leave this thread for a while.. There's no sense to this 'legend' concept whatsoever.

£7.9 million

'The champions league' looks rather odd for a first division, especially when the 'championship' is now 'the premier league'. So the winners of the championship can now call themselves 'premier league champions', lmao. It should resemble the real English football league system imo.. Premier League Championship League one League two etc

Nice.. The Cup should be interesting.
