  1. Aye, snyond is crucial to our chances this season. Would burn the world down if we sold Snyond after I got his shirt. Oh fuking hell im at brisbane airport laughing badly. Fucking iphone. My fingers rarely hits the right letter!
  2. We have bought players and not sold snyond. Ffs people. Pessimism is high this time of the year!

    Sinclair is such an average footballer.
  4. With 4-4-2 there's currently a massive gap between the forwards and defence. I'm not saying he's not a very good midfielder, but IMO we need to play one up front if Cabaye's going to be our playmaker. At the moment he's spending more time in his own half than the opposition's and it was similar last season. If he's £20m midfielder maybe we aren't showcasing him to his best ability. You are right, I completely forgot about our 11 unbeaten run where Cabaye and Tiote absolutely dominated teams in a 4-4-2. Though I do agree 4-4-2 isnt our best formation, but I think it is far more down to a disrupted and not full pre season which is the main problem. Actually, I dont THINK, I KNOW it is that. He looks tired after 50mins of game, which is normal for someone who played until almost month of july and then never had a full pre-season. Give him time. He proved last season over and over again that he has the ability to put on a string of excellent performances in a row, which shows his strengths since he came straight into a side without a full preseason and had to adapt to a new league. Just like Tiote had last season, Cabaye will have this season. You need a good couple of games under your belt before you can live up to the pace of the PL.
  5. TRon you absolutely underrate what Cabaye is all about and his importance to this team. He is the link between our defence and forward. Without him we would be a midtable team like we were with Nolan in the team. Cabaye is easily worth £20m in todays market. Not better than Modric, but in my opinion better than Dembele in terms of his importance to a team.
  6. From where? Doubt you can have a massive disliking for someone I guess youve barely seen?
  7. For free Id have him in the locker room for what its worth.

    Man, you dont struggle when the keepers before you were Fatty Kenny and Robert Green. I definitely agree he wont be back to his absolute best, but last season at Inter he was actually pretty decent, you have to remember he fought through a lot of injuries as well as having an aging back pair of Cordoba Lucio as well as someone like Ranocchia who didnt impress. He also lost the only player offering protection in midfield in Motta who left for PSG halfways. Hes not as good agreed, but he wont struggle, as long as you dont expect him to be on par in terms of conceding goals like Cech, de Gea, Hart, Reina and Krul since he wont have the same protection. But he will definitely keep them up in my opinion even with Gabbidon and Hill infront of him.
  9. Anyone saying no to Enrique is fucked. After all he left when everyone started leaving, he had no idea what to expect and he did leave for a club he thought would be successful. He was wrong and if he came back he would probably raise his hand and admit he was wrong in leaving. But Id have him back, he couldve left after the relegation season but stayed. He might have had some tweets about the owners or the ambition of the club but he never talked badly about the fans or the city if I remember correctly. He would be a massive upgrade on our fullbacks and that includes Santon, although Id rather have Debuchy in. For the right money Id have anyone back except Nolan and Barton cause they arent good enough. But Jose and Carroll would definitely be welcome back if they admitted they were wrong and took huge paycuts. Wont happen though

    QPR just saved themselves from relegation in my opinion. Robert Green is a shit goalkeeper and wouldve helped them be poo, hes in the same level as Fatty Paddy imo. Julio Cesar, while not anymore that super top goalkeeper that he was couple years back is still imo a top 6 goalkeeper in this league, and that will help them achieve their goal of staying in this league. Will be very interesting to see Julio Cesar and if he can get back to his old level especially since every match will be like a practice day with 100 shots coming his way. Oh, and Spurs can fuck off with Dembele. Been saying we shouldve been in for him for almost 2 years now. Very very good player imo.
  11. Maicosuel. The guy played with Loco Abreu for I dont know how many seasons, mustve gone crazy trying that s***. f*** he should be ashamed. In a way you have to feel sorry for the lad, but the stupidity just makes it f***ing funny. That panenka penalty is all about humiliating the other team, nothing good comes out of it.
  12. Get Debuchy in Pards. Just do it, sell Danny if you have too and he will be much cheaper. Danny £3m, Debuchy £8m. There we go, its at least a £20m improvement if he plays like at the Euro and the odd game Ive seen of Lille.

    Trust me guys, they wont ever be a GOLDEN generation. Having lived in Belgium I know very well what to expect from this team. - Disappointment and the inability to play as a team.

    Oh anyone over Young is preferable. I find Ashley Young such a mediocre football player. You would be better off with Nani obviously, but £25m is very good money.

    Anderson has had about 8 good games in his Man United tenure and that was the first 8 games last season or so when he and Cleverly ran the show.

    Douglas

    That makes no sense. Taylor should be dropped if Douglas signs and shows signs of better ability than TAYLOR not COLO. Wtf?
  17. We lose a man centrally and are outplayed. 4-3-3 is a must against the better teams who are stacked in midfield otherwise we wont hold possession.
  18. I see getting Debuchy as a must after yesterday. Nothing against Simspon defensively since hes actually a decent defender at times. Its just his footballing ability that fucking kills me. Have you seen him trying to kick the ball forward, he always takes a step backwards before kicking the ball like as if he was 5 year old and trying to get enough power on the ball. We need Debuchy, we need the ability to be an extreme threat from both flanks. Debuchy overlapping Ben Arfa is a dream combo tbh.
  19. Great read that. Hope we can give him more playing time this season, and maybe even a start in the League Cup or so if we get a home game against lower league side. Would be great experience for him.
  20. None of our fullbacks are great defender tbh. Santon is pretty average defensively, his strengths lies within his ability to get forward. So basically Mata, Sturridge, Hazard and Oscar against our fullbacks will be crazy. Only way we win this game is if our central part of the team has a good game, because their flanks is stronger than ours.
  21. Cant see us winning this like last season, never easy going to Stamford Bridge, and wouldnt be surprised at a big loss but still expect a draw. 1-1 with us scoring from the spot and them equalizing late on.
  22. VI how the fuck can Dani Alves apparently be dating Bar Rafaeli? There is just no fucking way.
  23. I dont agree with the way Obertan has been treated. But until that was said no one was being very positive about Obertan, a page after those reports people start saying he was our best player of the front 3 or 4. Come on, its not right to abuse an own player like that, but most will still agree that he has a long way to go to deserve a spot in this team. Its not like anyone of us would cry if he got sold. I mean, he seems like he has all the abilities to become a great impact sub, but he just doesnt have the brain or talent in a way. I mean, he is fast and can go past anyone, but he is actually almost the same as that german guy Odonkor who got into the national side like half a decade ago because of his speed and nothing else. Unfair on Obertan, but as a professional he should keep his head up and keep on working hard, because ever since he signed for us it seems like he has no belief in himself and is almost in a depressed state of mind.

    Ramires isn't actually a forward player and it is evident when Chelsea play team that sit back against them and soak up pressure. He doesn't have great close control, isn't a goal threat against a packed defence, and struggles to create chances. I think Ramires is one of the better players they have, and essential against the big teams, but having the likes of him and Bertrand on the wings when chasing a game. I feel the same way about Jonas tbh, he's much more useful in certain situations. Agreed. Ramires real threat comes from the deep where his speed and ability to get into the box at the right time is very dangerous. If he could develop a great shot he would an excellent player, he is a very good player dont get me wrong. But developing a great shot would make him hard to mark when coming from deep. Him and Mikel will probably play a lot with Lamps playing at times centrally behind the 3 forwards. Moses for £9m is a bargain no doubt. Would have loved to see us have a go at him for that kind of money, seems to create so much when he has the ball. Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Sturridge, Torres, Moses is a great front 6 to rotate between.
