Moyes on Fellaini said:
Marouane is probably seen as more of a defensive midfield player. However, he's far better when he's joining in and getting forward because he can do a bit of everything Cahill does in the midfield. He plays for Belgium as one of a three-man midfield. For us, we've tended to play with two midfield players and one ahead - in the main, that has been Tim, but I've always known that Marouane can do that job. We had just been looking at the right time to do that.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
I always liked Fellaini, real good player. Technically good and not afraid to put his foot in. I hope Chelsea don't sign him but he would be a massive upgrade on the limited Mikel.

Aye, He is a greta Defensive Midfielder. I wonder if he is upset by the way Moyes is playing him. I really don't want him to move away to Chelsea.

We've got someone having a medical, apparently. Signing to be announced shortly.

I don't know if I love or hate pre-season. Can never decide.

I hate it. However, Wednesday can strengthen the team for next season so I don't know if you should hate it flat-out.

Kiaran Lee could be masive for you lot, is he a buy or a loanee?

Del piero signing with......Montreal impact? Wtf....that would be really lame. If its true he's going to hate going through customs several times a week.

They will have three older Italian forwards if it is true. Four Italians on the whole team.

Di Vaio, Corradi, and Del Piero.

Those Lille tops look awful.

Alaso, Lol at Sporting fans think that Eric Dier is one of their own. He is an Evertonian and he is there on loan only... right?

You guys watch Basketball? Ewwww...

I just put a report in through Google Translate that made it seem that he will be with Sporting for their preseason. So we will most likely let him stay on loan or sell him.

I'm pretty sure Dier has had work permit problems. Nevermind he is English lol. I was thinking of a different young player we had signed.

I was watching the England Under-21 game and the commentator mentioned that there is a shared ownership of the player and the player migght be (legally) a Sporting player. That can't be right, can it?

Free. Excited by that one, he's a quality player.

Rumour is the player we are signing today is either Gardner on a free from Bolton or Gareth Roberts on a free from Huddersfield. Both would improve us.

I'm not sure. We need to sell Yobo finally. I don't want any of this loan nonsense for a third season.

Gareth Roberts is free? Holy Crap, wasn't he an important player for them and what I saw of him, he is quality. Damn, I wish we snagged him.

I am not familiar with Gardner except for the Gradner Brothers at Villa and Sunderland.

Aye, He himself wants a swift resolution for his saga. Fanerbachse are taking the piss and I hope (for his sake and for ours as he does not deserve this) he goes whereevr he desires.

Just saw the trailer for Reveangeance. I was sure that nothing at E3 could top that.

But then I watched the Dishonored trailer and I went :O

It looks like a cross between HL2 and Bioshock.

It looks...interesting. The trailer didn't really give any indication of how it plays though, just stabbing people by the looks of it.

Put it this way, when we drew 4-4 earlier in the season with Huddersfield and Jordan Rhodes took all the plaudits by scoring 4 goals, it was Roberts who played such a large part in allowing Rhodes to do that. Was easily Huddersfields second best player that day.

Be a good signing for nothing. He's got a great delivery.

The dev team consists of people that worked on the original Deus Ex, the Thief series and HL2.

I don't think the game will just be about stabbing people.

Ushojax said:
To be honest the whole team and the manager is to blame. Gomez missed easy chances, Robben missed his penalty, the Muller-Van Buyten substitution was a mistake because it changed a back 4 that had dealt well with Drogba for 85 minutes, and in the shootout nobody had the balls to step up. In the cold light of day it was a pathetic effort, I don't think I've ever seen a German side look so frightened in front of goal, especially in the shootout.
Click to expand...


To me that was the decisive mistake, as all the other ones would have been precluded.
And you are right that Bayern looked frightened.

In fact, I think this current side lacks a courage in general. They also self-imploded against Inter last season and look weak whenever anything doesn't go their way. This does not bode well for FC Germany.

PS: Is Schalke just trying to buy as many Dutch players as possible to convince Huntelaar to stay?

Both teams are down right now but that'd be like rooting for Manchester United and Liverpool or something -- you can't root for two dynasties! Pick 1 team or root for someone that absolutely sucks in addition to a good school. Maybe FAU and Miami.

The Noles are gonna curbstomp both teams for the foreseeable future anyway, so that's just twice the pain...
