Term-X

Yea, and an injury to either of them and we're fucked. A big money move though?, Torres has most likely been given reassurances from the club that he will be the star of the show this season. I can see a Pizarro type signing on the horizon...

He knows beyond any doubt that Torres will be the 'main man' next season, even when his form drops. So to be so stubborn in regards to his playing position is mind boggling.

"Nobody wants to sit on the bench so it's important for me this season to be playing regularly and show everybody what I'm capable of doing as a centre-forward. Hopefully this season I'll be playing up front." ^ So he doesn't want to sit on the bench, yet.. he's stated he will/wants to 'exclusively' play as a centre forward, even with the knowledge that Torres will be the guaranteed main man next season. This can only end badly...

Tbf though, if he doesn't win the Ligue 1 title with THAT squad, he deserves to be sacked. Which is one of the reasons I was hoping Malaga would be the club spending money on players. It would make La Liga a lot more tolerable with the Real/Barca monopoly broken up. However, I suppose the positive side to Malaga's destruction is that the Premier League will remain a powerhouse.

Well, that would be rather pointless. The club would have had scouts watching his every move since we signed him, against the likes of the mighty Real Madrid/Barcelona etc. If the club cared about winning this game we would be exploiting every possible advantage.

There is no reason to be either, it just means the club don't care about winning the Super Cup.

Fifa Club World Cup >> FA Cup One is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be crowned world champions, the other is a trophy available every season. I'm not too bothered about the UEFA Super Cup, as it's essentially just a european community shield. The fact we are allowing Courtois to play against us in that, goes to show how little the club cares about it.

Now you're not making any sense. The club made it into an even bigger deal than everyone on here (an entire article just for one players shirt number), so you're clearly out of touch.

Even if he had been here for 15 years, that still isn't a good enough reason (Raúl.. Real's famous number 7, had been at the club for 20+ years). The only reason JT's shirt will be retired is because it's well outside the 1-11 numbers.

Oh FFS, if you don't care.. why even post? The club YOU support created an entire article on their 'Official' website to declare Oscar would be wearing the number 11, which speaks volumes.

Thought so, 'Hattrick league' is one of the many 'public' leagues. You can resign from it by going in your 'team settings' and clicking the red button. However, you don't have to, I'd recommend not creating any more teams though, or you will run out of quota.

How does it appear though, as an official team (public league), or private? i.e..

A public league or another private league?

It’s no coincidence the Wallace link sparked, after 80k pw rumours for this guy started circulating.

I don't want to see an improvement, I’d happily trade in a win against City for a loss against Wigan. Being humiliated at the hands of City isn’t worth thinking about (you‘d be surprised with the viewing figures world wide for the CS), and that’s what will happen if we don't play defensively.

Ferguson isn't a likeable manager like Mourinho is though, Jose' has so much charisma it‘s unbelievable, he's like the Muhammad Ali of football managers, a modern day Brian Clough. They are incomparable, personality wise.

Malaga have imploded, they should be kicked out of the champions league.

It has been the worst pre-season of the roman era.

Roman should amend RDM's contract, and add a clause which releases him automatically if he plays the 4-3-3 ever again.

Sack RDM on the spot if he ever plays 4-3-3 again.

It will be a miracle if City don't humiliate us.

We are so one dimensional out wide now, frail midgets getting knocked off the ball, and Mata aka Mr zero pace.

Ramires at RW, and to think.. some people on here have the cheek to say we don't need Hulk. Smh.

Nope. It's all there in Maka's book, the media just reported what was in the book. Terry had to get his lawyers involved.
