can't see him in that picture, mate

Wouldn't we then end up with a not so prolific striker playing up front on his own? Where would the goals come from?

some hit that considering the position he was in.

All the FM researchers are fans of the club they're doing the research for

It would be nice to have something different than we already have. There's no out and out creative midfielder in our squad. Cabaye is capable of making some chances, but he's not really done it on a consistent basis for us.

There must be some shit-hot Spanish midfielder we can buy. There's hundreds of them, isn't there?

Mind, I don't really see Cissé as someone who'd be interested in a move to Anzhi.

whey of course I'm making the (most probably naive) assumption that it'd be reinvested in the playing squad.

I like him but we'd be daft not to take £18m (or even €18m) for him. Doubt anyone's actually going to pay anything like that for him though of course.

Nah, he's got a point. Definitely not a better player than when he joined, that's for sure.

Walcott's played the entire game for himself. Unbelievably selfish.

This is like watching Newcastle play a lower league team apart from we aren't losing.

A centre half under six foot. Just what we said we'd be going for.

Wonder who Everton are going to get as manager. Don't think they'll even finish in the top half if a couple of their better players leave.

Douglas gone to Kuban Krasnodar

I know everybody cares loads, but it turns out this is actually on minutes played and he will be allowed to go for €18m at the end of the season. Would be perfect for Man Utd as long as they don't coach the flair out of him.

Just looking more into his appearances it looks like he's actually played 57% of their games. Must've been a typo in the linked article. 2 more games would take him up to 36/60 possible appearances which, funnily enough, would be exactly 60%.

Just read on another forum that Thiago Alcantara can leave for €18m this summer after only playing 47% of their games. http://deportes.elpais.com/deportes/2013/05/23/actualidad/1369262219_702408.html Would be a good signing for any team in the PL.

Nicky Butt, Geremi, Alan Smith, Damien Duff, Mark Viduka, Michael Owen were all internationals. three of those for England a long time before they joined us, Geremi for Senegal, Duff for Ireland and Viduka occasionally for Australia. They're not really relevant examples compared to all the current internationals we have now for football nations like France, Holland and Argentina.

But then he won't have any excuses.

Fans are going to have to do something if they want rid of him.

Not even sure I'd want him here based on his performances this season. Terrible defender.

Sissoko player of the season . Wouldn't even say he was our signing of the season.

Awful article on the whole, but it's amazing that people are allowed to publish stuff like this. It's like reading something a 10 year old would do. Standard practise to write out 1-9 in number form, and anything higher in text. [/lookatmeistudiedjournalism]
