    They've done decently so far. Really well is a stretch. Mignolet -> Mannone is bad, but I'm aware they'll be going the Westwood route as #1. They've got in some decent names to make up the numbers too. + I know you're American, but Jozy's previous stint in the UK was unimpressive. I know his form is good, but he's been scoring in the dutch league, he's far from proven. It's a big risk for that money. Heard good things on Peruzzi, but never seen him play.
  2. I have Pirelli's on my car. Got them from Costco. Bargain they were. [/lying]
  3. That is incredible Can somebody mock a black and white version please? Just to really piss me off http://i.imgur.com/pUyGjfP.jpg Looks much better tbf
  4. It's not really like that at all imo. That's a completely different scenario.
  5. Odd. Not even a discrete home grown type.
  6. How long till Gary Caldwell gets announced as Phil Neville's successor then?
  7. I can't imagine the number will be all that high.
  8. Thanks, Google Chrome: So the tactic is to hunt down a child footballer Chilean journalist Juan Pablo Meneses agent is dressed in a book revealing the ruthless backroom of the search and purchase of future stars In 2008, Juan Pablo Meneses (Santiago de Chile, 1969) bought a calf, La Negra, to tell his life until it was grilled, the meat consumption as a metaphor: The life of a cow. It was an experience of what it calls cash journalism: "Buy and count: consumption + writing" he says. Two years ago it occurred to repeat experience with other meat, that of a child who pointed to a footballer. Some 74,000 kilometers, 134 games, recording 89 hours, 16 cities, nine countries and 15 books later appears Boys soccer (Blackie Books), to state that "the sale of a budding football crack is tighter and darker than a cow. " From reading the great tactics emerges to become a future hunter Messi. → Marking zones. It costs a horror find in Latin America, a promising lad that is free, with no agent. So reporters are paid monthly so that from their countries, provide lists of the best players under 20 go see. Meneses senses that are paid up to 500 dollars for a children hotline. "The football schools, since they are in tournaments, and have something signed," notes the author in Barcelona. Therefore, each time the label is narrower: at age 16, "who has not triumphed already rather close old age," he writes. Now, they are caught at 10 years, as the Mexican Giovanni Riera, offered to Barca at that age, or Nelson, Chilean taken from a stoplight, and 14 years and must live alone, sold to Brescia for $ 300,000. By 200, today one can stay with the rights of children under 12 years will be 700 or $ 1,000 if the kid is already federated. Prices are multiplied by five if you are between 13 and 14. In Europe, a 12-year highlighting not sold for less than $ 5,000. The purchase will regateada in the format of an invitation or exchange clubs. Midfielders creative and scorers. "Character. Instill that, did you see? Faith. The attitude ", recommended Guillermo Coppola, Maradona exrepresentante, Meneses when asked about how to treat future hunts piece. Creative midfielders are the most sought scorers. "Make it fast, but the problem is the mind ... Preferable that comes from a rough neighborhood because it helps train you character," says Dante Mandriotti sudden, the fisherman Cantolao Sports Academy in Peru. "Part of this machinery that plays football as a way out of poverty. What is not said is that most never stays on the road, "muses the author. As if talking of cattle with designation of origin, the best, for its competitive nature and small, are the Argentines, Uruguayans followed, ease of adaptation, and because many have a European passport for family up, the most expensive, Brazilians, classifies the lawyer and agent Luis Smurra Argentine players. "How should I care for my child fail not a footballer?" Asks Meneses Chilean club president Santiago Wanderers. "Three things: drugs, the girlfriend [bride] and studies." Edge of the regulation. FIFA launched in 2010, the Transfer Matching System, which electronically records the data of the players to prevent fraud in transfers following the history of each young player. Seems to be of little use: 57% of children arriving in Italy in 2012 to play football were under 12 years. Brazil tries to implement specific protection laws, as in Italy. "The protection and control of minors are simple statements to the media," reassures the anonymous Spanish contact Meneses to introduce your future gem in the peninsula. "FIFA has refused to take that seriously because it shows the worst side of football. Forbade children traveling alone, then European clubs hired their parents. After that and clubs banned settled in Latin America ... A FIFA seems to have an interest that out new stars to renew the supply of consumption, "Meneses shoots. → Play hard, uncompromising. "Ideally, know little and do business as soon as possible. Try not to see him off the court, to make money, it is best not to become attached to the kids," the lawyer agree liaises in Spain and FIFA agent Sipping seafood in Santiago de Chile. The former also warns that the family will pull up: they are in training and crowded as hell the child (one is a week without talking to your child for missing a penalty). Everybody play much. Competition is strong among the same agents FIFA's 5,000 authorized. contacts are vital: Coppola states that, in five minutes on the phone, get to the test Meneses kid in Boca or River. Representatives pushing for take them to bigger clubs because they pay more, work may offer a percentage of the spot contract. should be profitable for investment thing is remarkable: take the boy to try on a European club cost only $ 10,000 the first month: we must make a video, a website and close a contract with a family member ... "In the consumer society, the entrepreneur will tell you, 'Do not get too attached to your source of income", just Meneses. 's "kid's dream" Meneses is Chilean child of 11 years. plays seven, his idol is Alexis Sanchez and comes from a dysfunctional family ... When I have bespoken with Grandpa, ends his story.
  9. They don't want Ruddy because they think he might become the next great keeper, they just recognise that they need a few English to meet all the various home-grown rules, and 2nd choice goalkeepers are prime candidates for such positions. Ross Turnbull, Stuart Taylor, etc etc.
  10. If you refuse to use "military time", at least specify AM/PM

    Dan Gosling

    Am happy about this. Don't particularly hate him for being an injury prone mediocre footballer though
  12. His name doesn't sound English and his face is pretty foreign lookin', probably just slipped under the 2X MULTIPLIER radar.

    James Perch

    This move would be absolutely fine in theory, but that theory only holds true if we've intentions to replace any squad players with better options, and I can't say I hold out much hope for that. Young players could step up to some extent, but do we have young options for every position that Perch covered? Do we have a young & versatile option to come off the bench? There are only so many seats available.
  14. He's nearly 40 and he's fat as fuck. I can't see him getting much change in the Championship.
  15. I've never heard of him, but I reckon he's mint.

    MLS

    Nigel Reo-Coker for Whitecaps is my favorite. The Seattle - Vancouver game the other week was great. Reo-Coker, Kenny Miller, YP-Lee, Andy O'Brien, Martins, and Djimi Traoré all on the field. Quality. Sadly they were far more entertaining to watch than us last season. Any of these young MLS coaches would be a better option than Pardew or JFK tactically.. Hackworth is pretty mediocre, but he tries different things and seemingly learns from his mistakes. It's a lot, lot easier to be sympathetic to a manager like that, even if the team is getting buggered.
  17. With the new PL fixture list being released, do we think our first game will be attractive enough to be picked for TV coverage!??
  18. How's it a bit much? "As has been said so many times to all of you attending matches and paying these bastards wages - well done" The tone is completely unnecessary. The people going to the games are used to going to watch the club that they love. Everyone has a different breaking point. None of the people at the games wanted to see this happen. By all means implore people to stop spending, but I think blaming them for anything is over the top.
