Yes.
Wasn't Gill like a Director of Football, and isn't that Woodward is supposed to be?
With no Logo? That is bizarre...
We've been linked with him since January. Wouldn't mind him if the price is right.

Impressed by the Netherlands's numbers.
Just noticed Scotland was 19th, behind the English 4th tier and the German 3rd tier, how the mighty have fallen. Though I suppose it would be higher if Rangers were there.
14/15 ac milan home jersey? where is milan logo?
very impressive

You are? I think this is pretty logical when you look at our stadiums (except for Vitesse)
Not really. Fergie took care of the scouting reports and made the final decision on who to sign whilst Gill handled the negotiations. A DoF will work with the manager on who to sign, but often he'll have his own preferences. He would also do the more shady stuff like dealing with agents and let the manager get down to just coaching the team. Gill and Wooders are in charge of operations and making money and will help close negotiations for players. But they don't really have much say in the footballing side of things.
Fergie did all of that at United. He was manager and DoF. Can't ever see a manager wielding that much power again after the Moyes failure.
FIFA suggests they buy Junior Hoilett and Nathan Dyer. Someone tell Woodward.

Yeah Liverpool wanted him even when he was at Basle right? But if you go for Konoplyanka maybe that will be it for the wings? Dunno.
Either way, good talent. Wasting his time now, not gonna happen for him at Bayern.
He's been hurt. Were trying to get rid of players with stupid hair not acquire them.
Aren't they after Hazard? lol
Might not be a bad idea to raid Bayern of a player or two.
Ah. So he IS in the coffin with him then.

The stadium capacity isn't that much really

Don't think we need a formal DoF. Often leads to disagreements and conflict when the "power" is split up that way.
But it certainly makes sense to have more people at the club overseeing the sport side of things than the manager alone. I still think the manager should be the guy who dictates a lot of this - just some of it should be taken off his plate. For example, the club should have a set scouting wing who are consistently tracking players. As we are now - it was just Froggie and his old chaps watching football. I sense the academy has been handled in the same way too.
It's an old set up. We need to modernise.

Apparently Zenit wants Eric Dier and are prepared to pay 4.5m. Kindly fuck off, AVB.
@LiverpoolGAF and anyone
What's the one thing Liverpool fans would never agree to do, as punishment. (something funny not "buy the Sun")
For you Yurt:
We'd never burn a Liverpool shirt.
As Wilbur said, if you take City and Chelsea getting in because of their finanical muscle. It leaves Liverpool and Arsenal. It depends on how the season goes I guess. If Suarez got a cruciate knee injury in September we'd be screwed for quite a while, similarly if Wenger retires it'll take a while for the new manager to get up to speed.
If Liverpool got a group of death in the Champions League it could really hurt us and we'd be stretched with both the league and European football. If we came third in the European group stage we'd then have to go through some Europa League fixtures as well and they'd hurt us just like they hurt Spurs.
He's been injured the whole season. Fortunately, he played his first match with the Primavera a few days ago, so he should play another time before the season end.

What striker are you guys gonna buy?
Literally can't think of anyone now that Chelsea are having Costa.
I've always loved this song (<3 Best Coast) but only saw the video for the first time last night. It's hysterical.

Who's the top scorer in Ligue 1 that doesn't play for PSG?

Please let it happen footballgod...
Seems Roma, Barca and others are looking at Vertonghen. For £30m they can have him, he's had a shit season and his attitude has been terrible. Chiriches has been much better than him and if we bring Caulker back, we won't miss him.

Januzaj has declared for Belgium

I thought he wanted to play for Kosovo or something.

There was nothing clear about it. I think he and his dad especially would have liked to but there's no real scope for it happening anytime soon.
What does the Belgium shirt look like?
The lack of options frightens me.
Like, seriously. Normally various names come to mind, but even sticking on my transfer muppet hat doesn't help. Who's the Higuain/Suarez/Van Persie of this year?
Vincent Aboubakar.
I've never heard of him either.
He has to deal with Ashley Young getting picked ahead of him at the club level, why endure such torture at the international level too.
MLS' 2013 attendance would be 7th by the slimmest of margins:
300 million population vs 16 million
meier pls
Was waiting for one of these.
4 other major sports for those 300 mil to attend, unlike the rest.

There is this guy called Zaha who has a bit of pace to him.
Does Van Gaal have any fit daughters?
