Is Aghbonlahor fit for them? His pace could give your defence some entertainment...

Why would they want yet another talented attacking midfielder who presumably doesn't have much steel on him?

Well, that's not a terribly good result for Liverpool.

The amount of average players on that list is scary. Wonder what a Spanish player transfers one would look like. Guess Ramos to RM, Villa to Barça, Xabi Alonso to RM, Torres to Liverpool, Mendieta to Lazio (still the transfer record I think), Reyes to Arse... would be in there (haven't listed them in order, don't remember all the figures).

Pet hate thread. Aye, kinda sucks seeing how many teams/fans would die to be in their place. Still, they are pulling a result so guess one can't argue.

CBA to look at the list, but I guess Johnson to Liverpool is the non-Manchester one?

Looking at Villa's lineup I see MacDonald is following on MON's tradition of Uefa Cup squads.

Aye, I loved how he did pretty much everything well. Ran, pressed, created play, scored. Think I will try to watch Bayern more often this season.

If there was a player I would have wanted us to sign from Germany it is Müller, he was truly great and I felt relieved when he missed the semis against Spain. But as said, he's at Bayern.

Sevilla's DoF has said that Arsenal's offer for Squillaci is "not enough". I guess they'll end up selling, but want to squeeze Arsenal more.

Squillaci isn't even first choice at Sevilla, would be a weak signing for Arsenal. Cover, I guess.

Sevilla lost 1-0.

Seville v Betis - I've seen that as lively rivalry between the fans? Well, there have been some naughty incidents in those games. But Andalusian fans are livelier than Madrid/Barça ones by far. Really, any game between Sevilla and any other Andalusian team (they hare hated throughout the region) is pretty entertaining in the stands. I like your anglo colloquialisms a lot, by the way I used to get a shitload of stick for them in the States

Milan's sporting director has admitted that they are interested in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and would like a swap deal. Swap with who? Don't think Pato is on the table.

Barcelona - Madrid rivalry runs deep and has gone on for centuries, to be frank. The animosity is there and is huge, it's just that both sets of fans aren't the most lively in the land.

Even if we don't win FA, I just can't wait to see the Villa-Zlatan-Messi frontline live. Going to be a feast of football all the same. And Tuncay is a good shout. But I like him a lot as a player and he should get out of Stoke ASAP.

To be completely honest, a Clásico has nowhere the atmosphere I have seen on a Boca-River or a Galatasaray-Fenherbace game (although I have only seen those on the telly, but presumably it will be more intense actually being there). I guess we are #1 because of the "bigness" factor.

Aye, was kinda shitty seeing all the celebrations on the telly all these years and not going to the Camp Nou. When we won the CL in Rome I went to Times Square and there were like a dozen Catalan tourists celebrating But knowing my luck, another barren period is coming (they started winning shitloads as soon as I moved out).

I doubt he'd play against you, maybe a cameo appearance.

I just moved back to Barcelona actually, which means Barça will win fuck all from now on (I haven't lived here since Rijkaard's first season).

Loan Giovanni from Spurs maybe, unless it's true that Harry wants to give him a chance. Hleb is of course, available and if I had a car I would drive him personally to Newcastle.

See? It's Real Madrid's fault, it always is!

Didn't he have a spat with Mancini? Bellamy is a great player but he seems to fall out with somebody at any club he is after 6-12 months.

Heh? It was still in the first page and it's the first time I "bump" it. Didn't want to create a thread for the sake of this, and this looked adequate as it is related.
