Look at the guy in your avatar.

We could use with a manager like Coyle. Really knows how to get a flowing football squad together.

Fulham has to be one of the best Prem clubs to go to as a developing youngster. From their manager down to their location, it's everything you'd want as a footballer who wants to develop and get a crack at some first team experience in the Prem. If he ends up there I wouldn't blame him at all.

Honestly I hate Liverpool way more than any other club in the Prem.

I suspect that Donovan will stay so long as he is successful and plays regularly. The minute things turn south, he'll be heading back to LA. Shame that Brian McBride wasted his career in MLS--he's the one that might of really done well. You realise that McBride played in Fulham for years, right? He was already past it his prime at that point. Had an opportunity at Everton before that he should've taken. But even at that point he was already past 30. Wasted his career in MLS. Just so it's clear, a lot of Americans playing in the MLS get the opportunity to go and play abroad but it is shot down by MLS. In the MLS, every player is "owned" by the league and not their club. So when a club like Everton comes in they have to talk to not only the manager of the player's club but also MLS and make a worthwhile offer to MLS in terms of what it will mean not only for the player's club but also worth it to MLS, hence why a lot of players don't ever get the chance (people like Taylor Twellman for instance). That will be the stumbling block between Everton/Donovan/MLS. He is worth a lot more to MLS and it's brand than Everton is going to be willing to pay. Almost nailed on. He'll have to go for 10m+ and I doubt Everton will pay that.

Or swap Guthrie and Barton.

Routledge ____ Barton _____ Jonas ___________ Moses _______ Shola _____ Lovenkrands When everyone is fit would be great. Maybe someone else for Shola but either way, Moses would be a great addition.

The one reason I would take Ranger over Beckford any day of the week is that, around these parts, Ranger really brings a great feel-good factor. If Beckford transferred here and scored, I doubt the server would get very close to crashing like it does when Nile scores and that's a type of "magic" that you can't really buy.

Comes across really well in his pre/post match interviews. Looked pretty good today as well. Could be a cheeky signing that pays lots of dividends for us.

Only ever seen Alan Smith in a bar here in Orlando. Not really a hot bed for footballers to be fair.

Give him about three weeks and we'll take all of the actual footballing out of his game. Give a go? What's that?

Sponsors have given him man of the match. Kiss of Death.

Enrique crocked.

HOWAY THE LADS

how long until k/o? 5 or so minutes? or an hour and five minutes?

who says we're not?

They also refused to stop playing good football too which I had a lot of respect for. I remember when they were down 4-0 against Chelsea and still playing it on the ground passing it around nicely.

Sad thing is, I could never see us doing this to any other team. Once we went 2-0/3-0 we'd just take our foot off the pedal and say "okay, I'm done!"

Harper [___] [____] Colo Enrique Routledge Smith Guthrie Jonas Shola Loven That's for me. Would possibly put in Carroll for Shola but maybe not until half-time. No idea who even slots in for the missing two back slots. I'll leave that to people who get paid far more than I do.

Totally agree. We need as much pace as possible in our side.

Smith Routledge ___ Guthrie ____ Jonas Nolan Carroll Tomorrow night anyone? Would rather us play 4-4-2 but if we were to play 4-5-1 that's about what I'd be looking for.

I thought you didn't like Routledge. I don't, but he's better than anything else we have for that position.

Routledge - Guthrie - Barton - Jonas please when all fit.

Will totally boss this league once fit/match fit.

Or start at RB for us. Had the same thought.
