Village Idiot, Does the media in Spain ever suggest calling up Enrique? Has the Spain boss ever even talked about him?

Fuck this shit. Honestly, if we show any ambition at all to him, genuine ambition, I think he would stay.

I'd also like to see one. But would a young athletic DM backup for Tiote not be more important? (especially considering the ACN)

Well then, I will continue to fantasize about it in my head nevertheless.

I personally don't see the need for a new wide man. This is unrealistic ( though not entirely unthinkable) : Chamakh, Gamerio. Ben Arfa, Nolan, Tiote, Barton. Enrique, Colo, Tarlor/Willo, Vrsaljko. Krul/ Foster. With Jonas roatating with Nolan/ Barton/ Resting BArfa

Can any serie A heads tell us the story with Poli since Samp have been relegated? I dont know Italian football at all, but judging by his FM stats ( yeah, I know ) hes probably off to one of Italy's big clubs.

The way I see it from what Pardew has said and done, these are guaranteed starters next season: GK RB CB Colo Jose Barton Nolan Tiote LM Ben Arfa ST

4-3-3 Barca style, Taarbat on the left, Ben Arfa on the right.

Jesus that avatar is gay, Taxfree.

I don't think Tiote is an out and out DM tbh. He is always closing far too high up the pitch to be the Makelele type. As with Parker he does not have the positional sense to be a pure DM.

His long range shooting is his only attribute worth noting, yes. If we were to sign an Irish midfielder, I'd go for James McCarthy. Looks a decent prospect.

Jesus Christ no.

Post the interview, please.

Taarabt. Him and Ben Arfa playing behind a quality striker.

Routledge is a good lad, good luck to him. He was very good in the championship and that should not be forgotten.

Is he really poor these days(Riquelme)? I thought he would play well into his 30's as his dosent rely too much on physical attributes. My favourite player.

I wish Chelsea would sign a striker ( Torres?) and loan us Danny Sturridge (and then, of course, Sturridge to fall in love with the club, kick up a fuss and sign for us permentally )

Love watching him play, that left foot

no we don't. would be nice but give me talent,technique and nouse everytime. Aye i suppose its more preferable than a need. Just dont see how Kranjcar fits in the team asides from short term. Ben Arfa on the left for me like. Can he not play in a number of positions? i.e anywhere accross midfield or just off the front man.. Aye but apart from LM short term, i dont think hes that good in any of those other positions. Apart from maybe AMC, but not with a target man like Carrol in front of him.

no we don't. would be nice but give me talent,technique and nouse everytime. Aye i suppose its more preferable than a need. Just dont see how Kranjcar fits in the team asides from short term. Ben Arfa on the left for me like.

Don't really rate Kranjcar too higlhy tbh, we need some genuine pace in the side.

Adam Hammill coming in maybe?
