It's like a new signing.

Was given multiple opportunities and wasted all of them. Pathetic. Last time he'll be anywhere near the Premier League. Enjoy your life choices, Nile.

Excellent, should be a good influence on the young lads. I hear he likes a nice hot coco.

Under: Ryan Taylor. Over: Fellaini.

Saviola is on his way to the Sounders at the end of the season. Still doing the business for Malaga apparently.

I was never worried.

Excellent. Now all they need is promotion/relegation.

BBBBRRRRRRRRAPE! BRAPE!

Wrong part of the country. Pretty much everyone around here can name a Sounder or two.

Doesn't Dyer/Owen/Xisco/Cort have that? Don't know. Never heard about that tbh. Because they were never on the pitch.... oh forget it.

:lol: Doesn't Dyer/Owen/Xisco/Cort have that?

These things move in cycles. 4-4-2 was the standard, but I'd argue the best teams in Europe mostly play 4-5-1 now. They switched to 4-5-1 as a means of dealing with a 4-4-2 formation. Now we're moving towards more 3-5-2 formations as a way of dealing with a 4-5-1. I'm confident you're right and we'll see 3-5-2 becoming more of a standard over the next few years.

Facundo Ferreyra....I see he`s a Velez player (13 in 15).....looks a good prospect that we`ve been linked with in the past. Inter have been sniffing around, from what I've read.

Michael Chopra is about set for a homecoming.

Stephen Ireland Giles Barnes

Weird. The only people to know less about soccer than the Canadians are the Kiwis.

He won't be going anywhere, and in a month or two emotions will have died down and he'll be settled again (if the rumours of personal issues are true). In the meantime I'm still confident he can do it on the pitch.

Are we talking Nixon as in the old poster from here? If so, that carries as much weight as anything posted by the hundreds of users on here this morning. Nixon's a journalist now, so I'd take his views on this over the majority here You serious? Isn't he just a freelance writer for a few websites? What sources does he have at the club? He covers north east footy for ESPN, goes to the club press conferences etc. Yup, as well as having a short stint working for nufc media team, and being published in the guardian and the new York Times. The lad has done good.

Osvaldo Alonso was training/on trial with West Ham but is now back with the Seattle Sounders. Decent little midfielder.

Might be after C.Ronaldo, then.
