  1. for the first time in history looking forward to watching Everton next season (didn't see them at all last), very attractive looking team potentially. Get off to a hot start and could easily be in the European shake up.
  2. That Andrew Surman? Good acquisition if so.
  3. GKs - Foster, Robinson, Kirkland RBs - Richards, Mancienne LBs - Baines, Gibbs CBs - Jagielka, Lescott, Shawcross, Smalling RMs - Walcott, Moses LMs - Young, Johnson CMs - Parker, Huddlestone, Wilshere, Rodwell CFs - Bent, Carroll,Sturridge Agbonlahor
  4. Centre Forward Ben Arfa Ozil Marin has the makings of some very exciting football for Werder fans.

    Weren't we heavily linked with Bousouffa a couple of seasons back and it came to nothing. I agree with your general point though, with some clever scouting there is a lot of talent to be got fairly cheap before they hit the big 2 in the Eredivisie. If we're buying clever Belgium, Holland, Scando's, South/Central America is where we need to be.
  6. If Leon Best is playing games next season we deserve to go down. The lad is average at Championship standard at best.

    - get this on the go.
  8. I'd have thought it would only be a selling point if you were in for a player with a club that didn't have this. Hence why its best to buy players from (extremely) foreign countries in pairs.

    I could name you a similar list from his time at Portsmouth to be honest mate. Twente had been a lot better than Feyenoord for a good couple of years before McCLaren took the job. Feyenoord have been w*** for a while but for Twente to come second and then win the league ahead of PSV and Ajax who are infinitely bigger clubs in terms of absolutely everything is nothing short of sensational. If it was a rookie manager people would be queueing up to laud it. Especially considering they sold their best player summer 2009 (Elia) and the lack of money he spent to achieve it. Really interested to see how he fares at Wolfsburg. I don't know how much say he had, but Ruiz and Stoch were both fantastic signings. Fully agreed. Getting Rajkovic and Theo Jansson creates a strong backbone to the team n all. I still can't get over why Chelsea have let Stoch go for £2.5m - absolute madness. It sickens me that we weren't interested. Couldn't fit our bill more either. Couldn't agree more, Janssen was a real find, he just had a great balance of youth and experience. Rajkovic might be one to try a cheeky bid for, but Stoch I think is too similar too routledge just he has more attacking strengths in terms of his shooting and penetration. He seemed to get the best out of an old N'Kufo. From what I've seen he is a more complete player than Routledge but you could easily accommodate him, Jonas and Routledge in the squad especially considering we have 0 backup for wingers as it is. I'd be startled if his (Stoch's) next move wasn't for at least double what he cost this summer. ----------------- N'Kufo has joined the MLS now hasn't he?
  10. Aye I know Dave but thought I'd stick me oar in regardless. Chris, Fab and Otamendi IMO are too similar to play together in English football. Too much the classic the Latin American defender.
  11. It would only make sense signing Otamendi if we were selling Coloccini and we won't get more him than Otamendi would cost so it's obviously bollocks.

    No way. Steed is a class act although his form for the mackems has been patchy I believe.

    I'm a Jonas fanboy but if Routledge continues where he left off last season I'll agree. (Hopefully he does)

    Jones hasn't kicked on like he should have but he has pace which at the moment would put him ahead of Carroll IMO.

    Sunderland...

    Gordon Angeleri Turner Coloccini Enrique Steed Riveros Cattermole Jonas Bent Jones would be my combined team. Still a fairly shocking team like which says a lot about the two teams..

    Lots on their forum reckon none of our players would get in their side. Only the 3 amigos and Carroll would be in contention.
  21. Just a different way of supporting our teams. Players from abroad often say our (English) fans are more passionate than others. We go support our clubs and atmospheres invariably depend on this, while foreign fans go to support their club their atmospheres are more constant and often about getting one upmanship on having better displays than rival fans for example. Just because you have a few flares doesn't make you care more. Using that top video as an example it was the Aris fan's proving to the Boca fans that they are their equal in creating an intimidating atmosphere etc. Disco, you watched Boca in La Bombanera, right? How was it there? btw, this canny interesting regarding Arg....pity Danny Dyer didn`t get his head kicked in but he was $hit scared Constant singing and noise from about an hour before the game started until we got let out after being kept behind at the end. Was better than at River I thought but i stood behind the goal at Boca (not the one with the proper mentals in like) while i sat on the side at River. It's just completely different, the number of different songs is staggering as well. La Bombonera wouldn't be allowed over here like. Would fail 1970s health and safety nevermind now, same at most Argie grounds looking at them. The Gimnasia lot mentioned at the start are a nasty bunch like. It was raining spit and piss when I was at Boca as they were in the 3rd tier above where i was.

    That list of players is absolutely woeful like.
