1878

Banega was one of the best centre mids in La Liga last season so... no, not really. The stupid thing was fucking him about for a season and then sending him to Atletico for a bit.

He was doing a bad job at Liverpool though. I'm sorry to see him go.

Obvious that is what he's included Jonas for but the inclusion of Di Maria in the same position on the other side puzzles me. Will he really put the necessary shift in for a back 3 to work? Can't see it.

He's got a bigger gut than me

Senderos is really shit. Trust me.

We have been for years. Can't remember the last time we didn't have 3 new kits every season, even when the sponsor or manufacturer doesn't change.

18 year old Australian winger who is apparently meant to be the next Harry Kewell. He had a good couple of seasons in the Australian A-League for Brisbane Roar and then obviously moved to Utrecht as stated above. He also missed the cut for the final 23 man squad for the WC. An excellent talent and I feel Verbeek made a big mistake not including him, from what I saw last night. I mentioned to someone on this forum a couple of months ago that Oar will be highly sought after and they said they would contact the club. Apparently, Utrecht beat a whole host of european clubs to his signature. One to watch for the future. Yeah ive gotta agree here. SURELY a better option than Richard Garcia as a back up winger who looks like absolute crap at the moment. They do play on opposite flanks though so there goes my opinion... I wouldnt have picked Garcia in the first place, to be honest and I think they should have also included Carle. I thought the Yanks looked really dangerous on the counter and made our much heralded defence look ordinary however, I think England will easily beat them because their defence looked crap as well. Nicky Carle has caught my eye a few times playing for Bristol City & Palace. I was a bit surprised he seemed to be nowhere near getting in the final squad.

Of course he's not keen. He could have had the Chelsea job long term if he wanted it- working with his mate Roman as his boss, shitloads of money to spend, the best squad in the country to work with, already settled in, liked by the players & fans etc etc He wanted a new challenge with a national team though. Of course, the arrogance and delusion of Liverpool fans meant loads of them seriously thought they could get Hiddink regardless. Europa League football, wantaway stars, average squad, financial problems and more underhand politics than Whitehall... how could he resist the mighty reds? There's your plausible answer. There's challenges and then there's suicide missions.

A couple of years ago I was horrified when we were heavily linked to buying Fletcher. He's turned out to be a very good player now (although he's suddenly a bit overrated in the press cos he's at Man Utd)

Totally agree.

Better than King? Are you on drugs? When he's fit King is arguably England's best centre half bar none Upson is dogshit though. Agree there.

Ex-Man Utd, Everton & Chelsea player Mark Hughes. That'd go down a treat.

Most places are saying £6.5m. Hibs had a sell on clause which will have pushed it up a bit as well. I think he's a good target man and link-up player but I'm not sure how a partnership with Doyle would work out.

I think it is given he did not sign Keane it is like saying KK got Xisco. Not really. Pretty sure he was on a list Benitez gave to the board, he may not have been first choice on that list, but, he wanted him and gave the go ahead to sign him nonetheless. I thought it was a Shay that Keane was Parry signing Wacko can you confirm. Parry negotiated the deal (or just bent over and got bummed by Daniel Levy) but it was still Benitez who put Keane's name forward and later gave it the 'ok'.

That would be a terrible move imo. Mascherano = one of the worlds most overrated players Cambiasso = one of the worlds most underrated players

Has Miccoli been that good recently? He used to flatter to deceive at times. I always liked him as a player though.

It's awful. LCS need to seriously fuck off and take whoever signed the sponsorship deal with them.

O'Neil I would absolutely love him to get the job there, they would stagnate at best.

:lol:

Would cost a bomb, could get a better club (Man Utd, Bayern) than Arsenal. They should go for Sebastian Frey. Amazing keeper and not a a massively rich or 'big' club. Can't believe Domenech doesn't even have him in the French squad He's retired from international football after being f***ed off repeatedly from Domenech. Not suprised after Coupet getting in before him for a few years. Oh really? Hadn't heard that. Coupet's not a patch on him, must have a more compatible star sign with the back four

I though two of todays tweets were funny as fuck: Just had a massive argument with Dave Benson Phillips on Skype about The Smiths. He reckons Hatful of Hollow is a "bag of old shite". I told him to fuck off back to CBBC and banned him from any of my summer BBQs. Cunt.
