Sam Allardyce is a time lord and Otto Renhagel is a future version of himself after lab band surgery.  I am not wrong.

If we spend 6 mil on an average squad player from our main rivals then sack Keegan and sack the board tbh.  Not even joking.  If we sign him, then I'm 100% convinced that Ashley is a closet Spurs supporter.

I think Arsenal should splash out and get Villa.  He could be the missing piece of the puzzle for them.

 

I think they shouldn't..

Well he's going somewhere in the G14.  And I'd like to see him in the Premiership, but definitely not at Man Utd or Chelsea.

God he's good. 

I think Arsenal should splash out and get Villa.  He could be the missing piece of the puzzle for them.

I could see Sweden scoring a winner here.

As delighted as I'd obviously be if we signed Van de Vaart, I would also be worried about his intelligence and/or mental health if he came here.  If I were in his shoes, I couldn't think of one good reason to sign for us.  At best, it's a sideways move.  Keegan & Wise would have to put in one hell of a sales pitch about the short-term future of the club.

Still, if there is any truth in the rumour that we've inquired then at least it shows ambition.

Aye Derdiyok has looked good, reckon his price may have gone up now but I doub't it would have gone up that much. Especially compared to what English players will be going for.

Of all the names mentioned so far - including Turan, Gomez & Gomis - I'd be happiest if we got him.  I like his attitude on the pitch, in an inferior side, and most importantly he wants to come here.  Would be a great signing.

Holland in this are like Liverpool in the champions league, both sit back and allow the better teams to come onto them and hit them on the break, which they do well. When they come up against a team who doesn't try to go forward early on I think they'll struggle. I think if they were to play Croatia it would be a tight game as they both play the same way, sit quite deep but try to close the ball down in all areas.

 

Wash your mouth out with soap and water.

 

I don't see how any team willing to put five out-and-out attacking players in midfield/up front at once can be accused of playing like Liverpool. In terms of personnel, they were incredibly attacking tonight.

Yep.  I thought Van Basten was reckless to sub on Arjen Robben & Van Persie with a lead, but it worked well for them.  They have been the most positive side of the tournament so far, including Portugal.

I hope Coupet signs for Spurs btw, he's shit. 

The latter stages of this tournament could really be good.  Croatia, Portugal, Holland & probably Spain....all good exciting teams.

 

i wouldnt of fancied englands chances against these lot

This Holland v. England would be like Arsenal v. Newcastle.  Makes me glad we aren't there.

This tournament demands a Portugal / Holland final.  I don't know if the draw makes it possible, but it must happen.

Brilliant from Sneijder, and essential for my fantasy team.

If my team was down 3-1, the last person on earth I'd bring on would be Anelka.  Talent wasted on a player without any heart or courage. 

Uhhhh....wrong thread. 

im going to cry

Because Kuyt went off?

Good team, but Slaven Bilic annoys me. 

I don't usually look forward to England matches but I'm really looking forward to Capello's England getting another crack at the Croatians in the World Cup qualifiers.  I really want to beat them.

I've got a feeling that most of the people who wanted him for the Blackburn job think he will fail and would rather say "told you so" and get him out of the running for our next managerial change. 

I don't blame him for his decision.  First of all, it's a s*** job really.  No possibility of real success.  They have no money, an average squad and he'll probably be forced to sell Bentley.  Second, players like Klinsmann and Van Basten went from no experience to success with top jobs without "proving themselves" by taking a lower league or mid table job first.  He could potentially get offered something much better in the future (and I don't necessarily mean the Newcastle job).

Here's an Arda Turan desktop wallpaper so you can all continue to w*** furiously over this year's Bret Emerton and his wonder goal.

Agree with Kimbo, we put in a £16 million bid for Modric, so why not offer something similar for Turan before the competition, with Galatasarays money problems they wouldn't be able to risk turning down that kind of offer.

 

We need 5 or 6 players, so why waste half the likely transfer budget on him?

 

Why "waste" it on Modric? The board obviously think we have enough of a budget to spend big on a player. A player of that quality can make a massive difference to a team. Imagine Spurs without Berbatov, Everton without Arteta, Villa without Young.

 

Exactly, and he is a young player who's more likely to give us value for money which is apparently what we are after.

I'm going to have to see more than he showed today to be convinced he's worth that kind of money.  I don't think we are spending 30+ mil this summer either.  I don't think many clubs will, especially the ones with our wage bill.

I hate Manchester United was a passion, Abramovich's "new money" never bothered me that much and I still like Mourinho.  So I never had much cause to hate Chelsea, and preferred them to win trophies ahead of Man U. 

But Scolari has finally given me a reason to hate the bastards.

Also, I would pay no more than 9 million for Arda Turan.  Well done for scoring the winner, but it was deflected. 

Switzerland may lack any players of world class quality, but it's still unbelievable that they've come out of their last two matches with no points.  Didn't understand the decision to take Hakin Yakin off.
