According to various sources, Fábio Coentrão is close to sealing a loan deal to Manchester United for the remainder of the season.
Seems like it's happening. Plug tell us how shit he is.
I can only imagine him being caught out as much as Evra does. I guess the positive is he will be better than Evra going forward (Hopefully)

If he could get close to his World Cup form, he'd be brilliant. Then again, Balzaretti was brilliant at the Euros

On loan would be ideal.
Not sure he's a great player but he can't be worse than Evra or Buttner. Very good in attack too, think Evra has tailed off there quite a bit.

Gutierrez has pretty much confirmed on Twitter that he's leaving. I feel sad but it's the right decision. He's been such a likeable and hardworking guy. Never quite lived up to his potential but you couldn't hate him or fault him for his effort. There were glimpses of godhood but it just wasn't to be.

10 years younger or so? I don't think Evra is that great anymore although Sky commentator thought he had a great game.
I think he'd be a step up. Gotta get dat Monaco money first.
A great goal from Torres today which I forgot to mention, odd to see him score a goal that isn't a first time effort.

Seemed like even when he played well he struggled badly for end product.

I don't trust young Nigerian footballers. Some lie about their age.
Seriously, if his end product was sensible, he'd be a proper quality winger to have. Unfortunately he does everything right BUT the final product and for some reason just couldn't get that in to his head. Even shit like crossing. I just don't understand. JONAS HELP ME UNDERSTAND.
Quality defensively though. So glad we have Gouffran however. He's Gutierrez but WITH end product.
Didn't someone get caught out for that a few months ago?
I can't remember his name.
Some are probably 5-10 years older than Giggs and say they're u18
Age fraud happens all the time in pro sports when it comes to prospects coming from lesser developed areas.
Baseball is the most common American Sport for that to happen in. Shit one guy made up a whole new identity and won a World Series, then got caught, out the league and then got signed again.

Nowdays they do age testing from very young age. One test give certain on plus minus 2 years I think. Someone who has been tested several times have a margin of error of 6 months or one year or so. The best players have often been tested several times.
There were 4 or 5 who got caught last year yes for one tournament.
You can't leave us hanging like that

She was one of the chicks that was involved in that Charlie Sheen fiasco.
I'm studying here, so I live here now
Because they're fucking hot, european immigration etc

Probably lost in translation.
Hardly as I read the original in spanish.
But I don't know if "lícito" = licit.
He said Atlético has a different style of playing than Barcelona, but [in contrast to Chelsea and others I guess] it is a valid style of football

Boruc save was brilliant.
If they had scored I'd have been bemoaning the offside rule all night though.

Re age cheating, seems like Fifa have been using MRI scanning since u17 2009. Some Nigerians failed this year.

Apparently MRI is 99 percent certain.

This is what he said.:
Xavi: "Very balanced game, very intense, Atletico are a great team. They have a different style, but they execute it perfectly."
Also:
Arda Turan (Atletico): "Messi is out of this world, he's an alien. For me, he's the best player in the history of football."
Is there any reason not to love Arda Turan, the bearded beast?
No matter how old your Nigerian is he'll never play for City because you'd have bought 12 players in his position by the time he turns 18/40
