Yeah I'd love him to stay as well; unplayable on his day.
Shit one, I've got Ashley Young on £150k a week in my Bath team, need to get rid of him at the end of this season.
Can't wait til we start retaining dat title.
I'd take Aguero+Tevez any day of the week, but RVP outscored both of them combined.
dat city hoarding

Because Schweine misplaced like 50% of his passes, lol
At some point Khedira must've thought: fuck this shit, I'm going in.
He had to stay back, because that is what deep-laying playmakers do. They get the ball from the CBs and pass it on so must've seemed like he was more active on the def. But Khedira was at the very least just as active while also carying the ball forward, he was just all over the fucking place. Him & Bender/Gündogan/Kroos would've been much much better.
yeah, hopefully that'll teach elsk a lesson or two about Bild ;OThe Kicker preview is only saying that the Martinez isnt perfect, well d'uh. :/ guess we wont get a better source than Bild or http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20120...c-40-millones-claves-clasula_54337569340.html today.
(they have a horrid rep in Germany, yet they're pretty reliable on transfers....but they're far from Kicker/good regional newspapers-reliable). That is if the transfer doesn't go through, obviously.
I think anyone would rightfully be scared of a Rooney and RVP partnership. It will take some time for the two of them to work together effectively though.. these are two very, very big egos who will now need to figure out how to share the spotlight.
Tevez and Aguero being countrymen and playing at that level together for some time made that adjustment a lot easier.. then Tevez decided to fuck off home. Since he came back, it's been very clear that the two of them work incredibly well together but even still, there were moments during the CS where you absolutely couldn't believe Tevez didn't pass it to Kun.
The new Man U partnership will definitely require some period of adjustment. Hopefully RVP gets injured before they can click.
2) lol, Schweine is like an open door. He's no proper DM (just like Sahin isn't one, for instance). Fucking Biscuits is probably getting there, although he wins a lot of his duels with disgusting malice. Ugh, now you made me think of that goddamn piece of shit
Schweinsteiger is a much better DM than Khedira, and Schweinsteiger is also a top CM.
Khedira is supposed to be the defensive DM, IIRC, so he does a poorly job in that aspect. As box-to-box midfielder he's average because of his lack of technique...
Schweinsteiger, before last season injuries, was the best complete midfielder out there.
To be honest, I barely saw him playing before this year Euro. In the Euro I liked him because of his attacking spirit, and I wouldn't mind having him as depth player to replace Tymo. But Javi Martínez is a much better players than him.
They're usually right in Bayern transfers. They announced the Shaqiri deal 2 days before Bayern made it official. Aren't they supposed to have very top insiders in Bayern?
Whole fucking season ruined if true.
This is just ridiculous. Modric was probably the best CM in the Premier League.
If he manages to stay fit, and that's a big if. 1 injury-free year out of 8 is nothing to write home about.

The fuck? :lol :lol
Now I've seen everything.
True. But we signed neither of them. Kagawa is a great player but he isn't a winger. Nani is still the best we have atm.
Rodriguez could be a good purchase but Porto would want £25m-30m for him. Unless a new wonderkid winger appears in the next year I'd much rather we gave Nani a new contract.
Yaya Toure is probably the best player in the PL so I'm going to disagree personally. I do think the world of Modric though personally despite the fact that many at GAF don't.
Agreed that Yaya is the best - I'd rather have him than any other midfielder in the world personally (including Barca's midfielders; not that he's better but would suit us more), but Modric is very high up there for me. Top 3 probably.
The biggest problem Man United still have is the fact that they can purchase all the strikers in the world but at the end of the day, they'll still get annihilated by Newcastle's midfield.
They need to focus on getting a CM.
Me too, I'd hope missing out on them, Fergie has just said "screw it" and gave Nani however much he's asking for.
Probably still watching.
that's why i said fit Schweini
but yeah it's impossible to argue now who was more effective on defense, all i'm saying is that there's more to football than being "all over the pitch." But honestly i dont care, i guess i just dont like him / or his playstyle. I appreciate what he does, but i just dont think it's that effecive. But who am i? 'The only one' rates him very highly and that's all that matters.Yeah, Yaya brings new meaning to the term bossing the midfield. He's just an absolute force due to his size and strength plus his ability to score when given the chance is really quite amazing. He has incredible touch.. that goal against Cech the other day was just perfectly taken. You'd expect a big man like him to just destroy the ball but that goal plus the one versus Newcastle at the end of the season looked more like passes to the back of the net.
I do hope we see him in an attacking role more often this year because he's clearly well-suited.

Theatricality and deception, powerful agents for the uninitiated. But we are initiated, aren't we Kyoufu!
C'mon Ky, that* isn't on. And I'm aware you edited.
* that being trying to get another footy-gaffer banned.
I used to like you.
Well they failed to beat us last season because Tiote and Cabaye <3 <3
Or he could do a Torres and just stop scoring goals for 6-months.
Fixed.
I knew he was a Spurs fan from his Twitter battles with Piers but I only learned about him from The Apprentice which I've been watching since the UK version started. Didn't know he was the former owner of Spurs too.
I had Cabaye in my fantasy team from the get go, he served me quite well. This year on the other hand, he's a bit pricey so I have to find an alternative. Curses.
