If Spurs sell Sandro United should buy.
Should.
Should.
I wouldn't put too much into that. The French media have been trying to hype M'Vila for some time now.... But it has all be agent bullshit. If its coming from French media it's best ignored.
Lille playing with my emotions once again. Their new away kit. SOMEBODY IS MISSING
Presumably half the team seeing as there's only 6 people in the picture
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Giovani dos Santos officially out from the game versus Brazil.
I'm devastated.

Yeah I can't see Sessegnon going for less than 10m.
That still isn't better than Newcastle's first XI. The Scouse cycle is in full swing.
Why have a German dog promoting a French team?
Good question. That's one hell of a breed though. I'd hug it.
I am very sensitive to anything Debuchy related right now ok

If you sell Sandro, you can have Lucas for £60million and Modric
Also, obviously Debuchy isn't in the photo because he's not one of the 6 best Lille players

Pretty sure something similar was said last season too.
There's an argument for Coloccini over Skrtel in my eyes and Krul over Reina if he keeps up his dogshit form over the last year (but Reina is a better keeper). Mix the two would be best.
Reina; Johnson, Coloccini, Agger, Enrique; Lucas, Tiote, Cabaye; Ben Arfa, Cisse, Suarez
I think both teams have a compatible first team, with no big difference in quality expect for finishing.
Posting a random twit by a random fan is silly though.
Can someone explain to me what Joe Allen can do that someone like Henderson (who had a poor first season, absolutely, but iirc, Dalglish played him out of position quite a bit) or Gerrard (technically proficient, just tell him to stop playing the Hollywood pass) can't? Or why, even if he can, he's somehow worth 15m? Especially Gerrard. You'd think with his injury problems, he'd want to adapt his game more to relying less and less on mobility since he'll never tear up the league the way he and Torres used to, not at his age.
Just going off what looks better on paper to my eyes
I would take Allen over Tiote but Ben Arfa over Borini would probably be a wise choice. I have faith in him but Ben Arfa was brilliant this last season.
I feel the same about facebook comments as well.
We still don't know unfortunately. Apparently when he was in Japan, he said that he will return there soon but we really don't know something wothwhile yet.
You could always put one of these on the pic...
An ex-GF had one of these things as a pet, French Bulldog, fucking horrible creature, would sit at the foot of the bed looking at us with those beady eyes.

Newcastle are so much more than the sum of their parts though. Not that they don't have good players, just they work together so well.

Pretty much. If they ever become as consistent as a Fergie based Man U side, the Premier League will be over by Christmas!
You are funny. You think Simpson is better than Johnson? No Lucas?
Agreed

Debuchy obv.
I agree, I don't think Allen is any different to Henderson in terms of ability. He's just used to Rodgers system.
The only position I think City are not the strongest is full back. Cole and Walker are probably better than Clichy and Zabaleta.
He can tackle, he's more composed on the ball, he can dribble out of tight spaces and rarely misplaces a pass.
They're similar - I'd personally like to see Henderson played forward more.
I reckon City might win by a bigger margin this season.

Manager favourite. Rodgers will no doubt believe that having Allen in his side will be the catalyst to getting his idea and vision over on the field. Rather than trying to coach Henderson for several months, he'll be able to fit Allen in and hope things click quicker.

It'd be pretty ridiculous if they only won by GD once again.
Never said Simpson is better than Johnson. Simpson is crap IMO, but we're most likely signing a RB (probably Van der Wiel) before the start of the season and selling Simpson.
I think they've got an awful lot to prove this season.
He is also worse than Johnson.
OK FINE WE'LL TAKE JOHNSON
only because we couldn't get Debuchy. GOD.
As for Lucas.. No. DM isn't an area we're worried about as we have Tiote and Bigirmana as well as the hopeful signing of Vurnon Anita.

From the little I know:
-Henderson has the ability and skill to do the same job as Allen, but not the confidence to impose himself on a game in the way we need (yet)
-The closer Gerrard is to the goal, the better. Also, injuries
-Allen has a touch of the Wilsheres, in his almost innate ability to find space in which to receive the ball and move it on efficiently and in a way which turns recycling possession into attacking
In a couple of years I'd like to see a midfield 3 of Lucas sitting just behind Allen, and Henderson, Shelvey and Suso rotating for the other spot. If we get Allen, we're looking great for the future in those positions, but we still need back-up for Lucas.
Reina
Johnson
Skrtel
Agger
Enrique
Lucas
Cabaye
Ben Arfa
Bellamy
Suarez
Cisse
Because fuck Newcastle, and fuck our wingers/strikers
You're insane!
Hence why I hope we're serious about Sahin. He could be not only a backup for Lucas, but also apprently can play LB? Would mean we could have a backup to Enrique as well without needing to put too much pressure on Robinson.
Not that I think we could compete with Arsenal, but we really should be pushing in case the opportunity does arise.
