Never heard of Alex Sandro nor this Martial fellow. Yet they might be going for a combined fee of 75-85 m€?

Set penis. I meant to say set penis.

We really could do with someone who can take a set piece.

Shearer at Portsmouth. Cisse against Chelsea. And for some reason I went absolutely mental when Ibrahimovic scored that goal against England. It was a friendly and I'm not even Swedish ffs

To be fair I haven't seen much of Wijnaldum as I don't watch the Dutch League. Just somehow got the impression Wijnaldum functions best as a box to box midfielder (I could very well be wrong) and I sort of like the idea of two b2b midfielders behind a playmaker of sorts. I'd also be fine with Gini stepping up to the no10 position with Sissoko and Anita/Colback behind him.

We can win this but I'll be happy with a draw. I really want to see Sissoko and Wijnaldum pair up in the center. Krul Janmaat Mbemba Colo Dummett Sissoko Wini Ayoze Siem Aarons Cisse

Are De Jong or Wijnaldum able to take a set-piece? We really need that.

When commentators talk about players scoring in simple opportunities 'with their weaker foot'. They're getting astronomical wages to kick a ball with their feet, shouldn't be any surprise they're able to kick a fucking ball with either leg. This of course doesn't apply for i.e Ben Arfa's goal against Everton.

Feel this wasn't appreciated. I agree

Me neither really, great player to watch. Some juvenile aura about him which gives the impression he doesn't take him self too seriously and just likes to play football. Also seemed to recall him having no grudges towards the Colombian who almost broke his spine in the WC no?

Neither is Pete Doherty tbh.

Fair point. As I've said elsewhere as well that's what's set Suarez apart and made them tick for me too. Neymar is basically the selfish c*** of the three and the other two are more than willing to set him up on a plate when they can. Would like to see Neymars assists vs the other two for the season. http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Ron-Burgundy-Saying-I-Dont-Believe-You.gif

There we have it! Been thinking for weeks who he reminds me of

I'm confused.

I agree with this. I'd take a gamble on Ketsbaia. Obviously I'd have others before him but he's not a terrible shout.

This is hands down the craziest thing I've ever heard. The man is seriously ill.

No. I'd like to think that we have a bigger chance of Ashley selling the club if we stay in the premiership. Then again I'm not totally sure. At least we should be making life for Ashley here a living hell. I won't be much bothered if we go down though.

All I know is that I'm going to be very disappointed 15-20 years from now for not watching more of Messi and C. Ronaldo. Just an insane privilege witnessing these men in their prime.

I'm still convinced that Cabella could be very useful given the right formation and coaching.

Sorry but there is a right and wrong answer. Messi is a much better player. There is a reason why Messi is often called the best player of all time while Ronaldo has never once been called the best player of all time. If you look at both of them play, Ronaldo is a poacher, an exceptionally good one obviously while Messi is involved in everything as well as being as good a goalscorer as Ronaldo. I usually don't mind people having different opinions but Messi is clearly better than Ronaldo in almost every way. Fucking hell. I agree that Messi is probably the best football player ever but this is just nonsense. He's no more a poacher than Messi and there's probably a lot more variance in Ronaldo's goals than Messi's.

I think we can all agree to the conclusion that more footballers should sport crazy beards.

Maybe I should have a bi-monthly post in this thread about the life and times of Icelandic footballers. Here is an Icelandic defender playing in Sweden headbutting the goal post in sheer frustration after conceding a goal. And here is arguably the best beard in professional football donned by an Icelandic player who also plays in Sweden.

I particularly liked that time he was racist and the biting. Unlike most of internet keyboard and Social Justice Warriors, I don't pretend to be a perfect person. In heat of moment situations I myself have made inappropriate comments and bitten another person. What you do in rare instance or a one-off, doesn't define you as a person for the other 99.5% of the time. For example, If I ever got into power in a country...One of my first orders of business would be complete destruction of all religious venues and banning of all sort of religious practices and signs in public. Post of the year right there.

Who cares if this works or doesn't? Worst case this should be about us NUFC fans saving face.
