What struck me as really funny were these quotes:
".....The Catalan giants will begin staging coaching classes for 300 hopefuls between the ages of six and 16......."
and then
".....The school, which is less than two miles from Chelsea's training ground, is attended by the children of Didier Drogba and Yossi Benayoun......"
Wow. they sure do get around those 2 to have 300 kids between them
I look forward to that now. Its amazing. When we lose, you see the relegation thread right at the top. When we win, you see an "optimistic" or europe thread at the top.
Highs and Lows. Never anything in between.
Im sure this has come up, so apologies if it has.
How good does AC need to be over the next, say....6 years, to justify his price?
Look at guys like David Villa who have done it for a long time. AC was more expensive than him.
How many goals would consider it good business?
How many goals would consider him a flop?
I say 15 a season for next 6-10 seasons would be the PAR. Above is success, below is failure.
Thoughts?
Cant compare the 2, they are very different.
I think Colo needs to be partnered by someone with more physical presence. He reads the game well, has very good distribution etc
For me, he is a Rio type player, whereas Woodgate was more a Vidic type player....
