  1. He plays in the Belgian league, i don't think it's that much of a coup personally It makes little difference what league they play in. A good signing is a good signing. There's an element of risk but every transfer has risk. Wijnaldum was a coup for us, he played in Holland. We are cheap by premier league standards buying players from clubs with much lower resources than ourselves and competing against the likes of Swansea hardly classes as "coups" in my opinion. Signing any high quality player is a coup, for us! Especially ones who are on the radar of more ambitious clubs. Just goes to show the level of expectation around here. He's the sort player we should be targeting and signing without a problem,

  4. To think some posters advocate us resigning him
  5. To be completely honest, they aren't radically different. They both claim they are the best suited to keep doing things the way they are being currently done. Both Laporta and the current board are the most successful in all our history. Their differences, principally: Laporta: - Install Abidal as DoF. - Strip Qatar off the shirt, search for new sponsors or just go with UNICEF. - Build a new basketball court and expand the Camp Nou. Doing so modestly, so name rights don't have to be sold. - Buy Pogba this season. Bartomeu: - Collegiate "football board" instead of a single DoF. - New contract with Qatar, doubling the current shirt income. - Ambitious remodeling of the Camp Nou and surrounding area. I see Laportas proposals as quite cynical he's trying to get elected on a populist ploy. He's always been a populist, and he's damn good at striking the right chords. Abidal is loved by fans, and a lot think he was mistreated by the current board; so he puts him in there despite Abi having zero experience. Qatar is hated as a sponsor, so he goes and says he will restore UNICEF (conveniently forgetting the financial consequences of doing so). I will always credit him with bringing back ambition and belief to a club that was a zombie, but I don't think he's a great steward at all. When he left, the club had huge cash problems. Plus he's a complete, unabashed c***. I would go with Bartomeu, if he wasn't responsible himself for the transfer ban and the Neymar transfer fracas. Love having a local view of things
  6. Obertan and Gouffran supplying the assists

  8. Cuntery aside which Is awful frankly, if your going just go don't make a song and dance about staying then fuck off. But putting that aside are people seriously saying they wouldn't have joined city in that situation as well?
  9. If finishing outside the top four is a good season
  10. His weaker foot too right?

    Steve McClaren

    This communication method is to the clubs advantage after all as they set the tone of discussion rather than a newspaper adding it's own slant
  12. Banega? Creative CM, brilliant passer. If we got him

    Loïc Remy

    If remy can get a big signing on fee and keep his current wage at palace I'm sure he would move happily. One thing we know about him is he's only in it for the money.
  14. 8:06 "Newcastle were already showing interest before defecation" WTF, man?! We are the leading monitors in the game, why are you surprised we monitored his bowl movements prior to signing him?

    Loïc Remy

    Proven premier league goal scorer and a quality player, we aren't we buying him?
  16. Awful awful choices all around. He also said that he likes to do that in pre season and it could be someone totally different next game, don't think it means anything tbh. I hope so mate but honestly it'd be par for the course considering we appointed him in the first place.
  17. Colo starting games next season. Clearly not that much has changed then.
  18. Imagine if his team selections are as bad as his leadership ones.
  19. Awful awful choices all around.
  20. Because he's a decent player. So you'd have him start over anyone else we have at CM? What I meant was, with everyone fit, he'd have a place in McClaren's first team. That's how I interpreted 'first choice'. I could see him and Wijnaldum working well together. Are you high? About 5'11. Quite tall if I lived in Southern Spain. Duh, I'm 6'0. 6'4 according to college drop out
