Frazzle

mattis you're a rubbish WUM

Which two years? For me the best player in the world went from Ronaldinho to Messi. Never been Kaka IMO. I agree he was a very good player but you have to remember that you can be very good and still be overrated.. Ronaldinho was a top, top player but to say he was the best ever would still be overrating him.

Before his injury problems Kaka was brilliant. Was overrated then still and since the injuries has been woeful. £60m has to be one of the biggest rip offs ever.

Careful. He is also a tremendous c***. Good player like although I think he'd struggle in a poorer team. Like Sevilla? Alves of one of the best players around. Second top for assists in the last two seasons in La Liga and massive part of Barcelona's tactical plan. He cheats, he dives and he is sometimes annoying but a bad player he ain't.

Shit tactically? Jesus christ.

I don't think he's all that great. Sorry if that upsets you. Shit or not all that great?

You said he's a shit tactician because he's made a few errors recently. neesy was pointing out that all managers make them, it doesn't make you 'shit.' Having said that, calling obviously good manager's shit will draw more attention to your post which is what I assume you wanted all along, well done.

I only watched the game for five minutes today, so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Busquets playing LB with Abidal at CB? RE: bringing Affelay is as well, the whole team in flagging you could see that over the last few games, he tried to rotate the squad and it didn't work. If he kept playing the same team there's no guarantee the would have won either judging by the fitness levels of the other players. Even if they had won that game it may have affected them more in the Arsenal game or later in the season.

So when they win its because the players are good and when they lose it's Guardiola's fault? There's no crossover?

Good post HTT. I agree with the Kaka bit as well, very overrated player.

Practicing for 2nd leg against Arsenal when he'll play CB.

Whether he's a bargain will be decided over the next few years. If he leaves for £25m then he will have been a bargain. It's all relative.

Would hate for it to be Zairi. 28 year old journeyman? No thanks.

Hopefully for Ninis, dunno if he's playing like? More likely Boumsong.

The re investment of the Carrol money seems to imply Pardew isnt in the loop of that Golfmag statement or simply is Golfmag wrong on the club sale side of things Or that Pardew is lying?

Carroll is Newcastle fan.

i done that several times when a kid. last year i broke a bone in my hand and still worked for 2 days before getting it checked. lets keep it real folks, a fractured finger is sod all really. Erm...it was more of a joke at this invicibility. I'm keeping it real, chill out, you can be Rocky too.

Its just crap from the papers about how great a club Liverpool are. Carroll wasn't doing too badly with our coaches and training regimes was he? No doubt in the future, Liverpool will get all the credit for turning him into an England international...

Fractured his finger. Still playing though

Just out of curiosity Wearside, why do you post on here? Not having a go, I'm just wondering.

It's all about taking a gamble and paying for potential though.

I hope we don't pay over the odds for someone like Samba when there are bargains to be had when you do a little work, Vidic for example only cost £7m. You pay a premium when you let other clubs do the scouting work. Likewise with N'Zogbia, I won't be paying the figures quoted for him especially considering Arsenal paid a similar price for Nasri and we paid around half that for Ben Arfa.

I'm no expert but he seems injured all the time, talented though, as you say, so hopefully he can sort out his fitness. Re: Vuckic as well, I remember a few years ago when Messi was picking up loads of injuries, Barca put him on his own fitness regime targeting specific areas. If Vuckic is going to be a future first teamer I think we should look to do something similar.

If you're gonna replace Taylor because he's injury prone, I wouldn't do it with Kadar.
