La Parka

fabregas playing the hitar Fuck off.

Agree UV, in theory is is a good idea. An example of this issue in real life is dross like Eboue keeping out Walcott. Shouldn't happen.

Brilliant advert.

Rio Ferdinand is fucking amazing. He was cutting out everything, bullying eto'o, intercepting passes and launching attacks, 10x better than John Terry like. Messi was good with the ball, but severely lacked end product (mainly due to a lack of options). Manure contained them well, passed it well, defended well and scored a great goal (knew it was in as soon as it fell to the ginger one). Ronaldo was quiet, but I wasn't sure what his role was. Park had a great game too, underrated for me. Barca were very disappointing, Millito looked clumsy too.

as bad as guti tbh.

Out of the major nations Italy is the most domestically based. They have a limit of 1 non EU player/year. Seems to work for their national team too.

Good idea to a degree, something needs to be done that is for sure. How many english youngsters have been stopped coming through by average foreign players? We have to look after our homegrown players, as they just are not getting the opportunities unless they are genuine quality from day 1.

Fred to the toon

We should go in for him for defensive midfield. He doesn't have the brain for centerback, but gets forward well.

I think those two are as good as gone tbh. Maybe not Cacapa, he is stuck here.

As long as we can keep him in line (unlikely)

R.Madrid game was good. Higuain changed the game like.

Been linked with vokes a couple of times, looks a good little player, and with them going into admin is bound to leave. Scored a few as well.

He is shit anyway. Not really, but hey at least we had some ambition for once.

Interesting, so Wise is sorta like a DOF/Head scout, with Keeganmaking the decisions on the first team players..

I forgot we had a game due to all this transfer talk

Very, very, very, positive signs with regards to our transfer policy Bolded bit especially.

That is quality Ash!

I was hoping they were miss clicks

Much like the Modric thread? I prefer it like that too. (As long as you put latest developments in the title eg: Player X linked (Various) or Player X in talks.)

I hope so. Can I just ask you something, though. How many times have you seen him play? I've only seen him against England. (Thought he was good, but that's only 1 game.) Seen him play 3 times. Not a lot I know, but enough to make a judgement that he will make it over here.

As fantastic a player as he is, I'd be weary of signing him given that he's supposedly lost his love for the game and is a giant pisshead by all accounts. Adriano the second, or romario the third then.

Never going to happen. The guy is fantastic.

Its meant to be a lovely holiday, my friend certainly enjoyed her holiday over there. Can't remember where she went now like.
