  1. I met the Xisco fan club at Barca B vs Cordoba last season
  2. He was shite last season. Lost a lot of time for him after previously I always maintained he'd thrive being the main man at a team. Instead he just sulked abnd strolled worse than ever and then topped it off with a poor World Cup. Still a very talented player, but this is the 3rd time we're seeing him move somewhere and people talking about it being THE move that will unlock his career. It hasn't happened under Mourinho, Mancini and even Prandelli (who defended him like he was his son) got tired in the end. I'm not betting on Rodgers having any more success. FWIW I still think it's a good signing; he improves their squad. But it'll last two years before Raiola moves him somewhere else for a similar fee (and similar slice of the pie for himself).
  3. I dunno That Man City team did ok with Fernandinho last year and they've just bought Fernando who's main job seems to be run around and kick people too. Oh and didn't Real win the CL playing Pepe in midfield last year? Can't remember him dictating play, his job is simply win the ball back and give it to someone who can play. Fernandinho is a great box-to-box midfielder. Certainly not just a destroyer.
  4. Don't really want to see him sold, which is a bit weird as I don't rate him that highly. Think it's the obviousness of the clubs policy being put into action - player edges towards 28/29 and the latter years of their deal so MUST BE SOLD to avoid losing out on that profit. Nevermind what they might offer as a player over the coming years.
  5. Balotelli will inevitably move from team to team so long as Raiola is his agent.
  6. Vuckic is only 21 as well so doesn't need to be registered.
  7. Gotta balance out all the CRAYZEE spending of this summer window.
  8. Swear Rojo isn't even that good.
  9. Was Nobby not the first Peruvian as well? edit: Tino first Colombian?
  10. Barton's weren't even very good, just Carroll used to make something from them.
  11. Scored against Spain for that great team goal
  12. Great player at international level but has yet to do anything in European football.
  13. It's not even a forrins vs locals thing. People love Gouffran even though he offers nowt going forward.
  14. I could. It's like that every week.

    Loïc Remy

    We'd probably have got him if QPR had lost the playoff. Shame.
