Stifler Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yup, Madrid have confirmed that they are taking this to the regular courts. By which time the competition will be over or nearly over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What grounds do they have really to contest? Other than self righteous indignation. Their whole defence has been built around that they weren't communicated in an effective manner of Cherisev's ban. I guess that's what they will try to argue in the regular courts. The FA argued back (and demonstrated) that they communicated it to Villarreal and the player, and that Real Madrid failed to do their due diligence when they bought him.

Tooj Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35169108 An interesting article to say the least. Sammer was a fantastic player, very underrated in my opinion. I wouldn't say he was underrated as most people recognised his class. Didn't he win the European Footballer of the Year?

I'm talking about when people discuss great players from the past now. Sammer hardly ever gets a mention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Tried to do a Garth-esque team of the season so far Butland Bellerin Alderweireld Smalling Mahrez Kante Ozil KDB Lukaku Vardy Kane Notable exceptions: De Gea, Ighalo, Koscielny Probably missed someone really obvious off. Gonna try and do a new signings XI now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Signings XI Cech Nyom Alderweireld Huth G Johnson Capoue Kante Deulofeu KDB Payet Martial A real lack of strikers to pick on this one, also struggled with full backs. Notable exceptions: Wijnaldum, Lanzini and Alli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Tried to do a Garth-esque team of the season so far Butland Bellerin Alderweireld Smalling Mahrez Kante Ozil KDB Lukaku Vardy Kane Notable exceptions: De Gea, Ighalo, Koscielny Probably missed someone really obvious off. Gonna try and do a new signings XI now I'd have Deolofeu ahead of Kante. Probably Ighalo > Kane too, given that Kane has only recently got form back.

Disco Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Cech Bellerin-Alderweireld-Monreal Mahrez-Payet-Delofeu Ozil Vardy-Lukaku-Ighalo For me Garth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thought of Monreal, but one too many full-backs in a flat back three Too Garth-y for me. Complete dearth of decent CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Proper team would be Cech Bellerin-Alderweireld-Dann-Monreal Mahrez-Kante-Ozil-Deulofeu Lukaku-Vardy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 No idea what formation this is, Garth can work that out. Butland - clearly Alderweireld - been class for Spurs, looks very dangerous from set pieces too Smalling - one of the few bright spots for Man Utd. Improved a lot in the last 12 months. Rose - seems to have tightened up a lot defensively and is a constant outlet for Spurs whenever I see them Mahrez - aye Ozil - aye Alli - 19 years old and bosses games. Could be a great player for the next decade if he continues like this. De Bruyne - haven't been as blown away by him as others seem to have been, he's just simply a very good player who they paid a fuckton for, and is performing as such. Ighalo - has to be. Newly promoted team and he's scared the shit out of every defence he's played. Vardy - interesting to see how he does 2nd half of the season. Lukaku - utter fucking beast All worthy of consideration: Lloris, De Gea, Cech, Stones, Dann, Koscielny, Kante, Deulofeu, Payet, Arnautovic, Giroud, Kane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 People forgetting how class Payet was. Better than Deulofeu easily IMO and has also started more games than him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Seems to be loads of attacking midfielders that have done well this season. Could even put Arnautovic in there too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
