Think we should go for Coleman, he'd be expensive but it would sort that position out for a good five years.
With Aurier there are question marks over his defensive abilities and he'll bugger off to AFCON for six weeks in January.
He'll do some punditry. It's a doddle. He can do it in a wheel chair no probs.

I'm assuming that's the extra 4m were paying to get it done without all that tax stuff.
Sad that Italy are out but is it true that Balotelli was the only player not to listen to Pirlo after the game?
David Luiz and now Shaw's transfers have killed the epl market. Insanity to buy anyone local this window now. Has to be outside the premier league.

or wait for Prandelli after he resigned in the press conference.
and thank you. I think we all saw it coming after the Costa Rica game, simply not good enough.

@people with HDMI splitters, do you use a switch on the splitter-box, or does it give you extra options within the TV's UI?
Thinking of getting an Xbox One when that Halo collection comes out, but that'd leave 4 devices vying for 2 HDMI slots

Anyway, it looks like Yurt and I weren't that wrong about Balo:
Just got the game wrong, he did something good against England.
He was on the bus when Pirlo was doing his antidoping tests, then apparently somebody asked him to go back inside and listen to what Pirlo had to say.
"Santi Cazorla? I don't know this guy!"
That guy is unbelievable. It's that attitude why I really don't want him at our club.
Intolerable asshole. Prandelli made mistakes this world cup, happens, deserves more respect though. Just a shame.
it's just stories, and hope it isn't true.
but DDR did seem a bit...pissed about something. :lol
Forget Wenger and wait for Mino Raiola's comments

Luis Suarez COULD be banned from Liverpool matches if found guilty of World Cup bite

We have classless players and arrogant fuckers. Madrid have a legitimately violent player in Pepe. Your Barça hate is strong.

I just bought a life-sized cardboard cutout of Rod Stewart as an engagement gift.
Also something about Suarez.

Haha even Piers Morgan retweeted my gif. Should have put it on my own server, so I could have replaced it with Wils anus,
Just another Madrid fan that got too hurt somewhere in 2009-2011. Now the bitterness is just sad really and probably incurable.

Greatest spanish striker of all time.
He grew up poor, in a country where most poor people stay that way forever. His past makes him unafraid of danger, because being shot isn't nearly as scary as becoming that 11-year-old boy again. Biting makes sense to him. He'd bite a stranger to keep from being dragged back to that border-town kitchen.
anything that threatens his ability to score, and win, isn't processed in his subconscious as the act of a sportsman but, rather, as an act of aggression against his wife and his children. Watching him play certainly supports the idea because, when a defender presses close, Suarez doesn't respond as if the man is trying to take the ball. He reacts as if the defender is trying to send him back to the streets of Montevideo, alone.
oh bliss

Anyone know how he got banned or if he asked for it yet? Odd is one of the best posters on here.
The one showing Suarez bite better. Meier tweetet it and it spread, no idea why everyone else sems to not have that angle... It was just from danish television, can't imagine them having access to anything but the standard feed from Brazil.

Moc summed my thoughts up perfectly. There have been some terrible incidents in football with players lashing out and many people forget them in time and only remember their goals or team contributions. Suarez's last Liverpool bite was forgotten when he scored nearly every game over Christmas and some forgot it earlier when Arsenal tried to sign him.
He isn't crazy though, he knows perfectly well what he's doing and does it to force a transfer to a different club. It worked at Ajax and he's merely repeating something that worked.

Who's been saying that? It's clearly nonsense since he was better than ever last year without doing any of this shit.
Maybe we can trepan him or something

I highly doubt that. How would this force a transfer anyway, he will just be banned from international football no? If anything that would make the very biggest team look away from him, not wanting to risk this from one of their players...
and whatsapp, yurt.

Pretty odd way of going about it, doing it for the national team, ruining his own world cup, making his reputation even worse, and quite possibly putting off the only teams that can afford and want him.

You're Suen aren't you?
That's why I don't think it's anything to do with 'forcing a move'.
He clearly has issues.

Yep.
Biting is obviously a reflex for hm, an instant response to frustration. There is no chance whatsoever that he thinks about it and comes to the reasoned conclusion 'I should bite him'
It's fucking weird

Go on Sepp, one year worldwide ban.
Get him.
Get him.
Sepp has not the testicles for such a ban. Unless someone wants to pay him to do it.
Pictures from your gif are in Sweden's biggest newspaper as well :lol

Italy
who the hell am I supposed to root for now? Chile? Colombia?reflex
what kinda REFLEX is biting
what was the stimulus? Chiellini's broad shoulders? Ivan's bitter Serbian flesh? Being dominated all game can't be considered a stimulus surely? Neither did anything when he bit them.

Do you think he thinks about biting people before he does it?

The timing of this bite is perfect after the guff he came out with about the media following the England game.
best world cup
best world cup
He's not a fucking infant or a rabid dog. He was just stupid enough to think he can get away with it, they were on the verge of crashing out and he was frustrated by Chiellini. It wasn't a reflex, it wasn't something beyond his control, he WANTED to bite him. And you know why? Because he's a dirty motherfucker, that's why. Kinda like diving or elbowing someone, the cameras WILL catch you, but you don't really care as long as you get away with it during the game.
Stop sugarcoating it for the love of FUCK

I feel sorry for LFC, they spent the better part of the last year mending his image and he even got awards this year and then he does that, not only damaging his reputation but making LFC look bad at the same time.
So it goes:
Bite >>> Leg breaking challenge >>>>> Stubbing your cigarette out on a team-mates eye
Liverpool took a risk on him at Ajax and it was my understanding that Ajax decided they didn't want Suarez after the biting incident when they previously weren't inclined to sell.
The club just decides he isn't worth the hassle and cash him in so Suarez can get a pay day from a big transfer.
I'll need Bacon or Linius to check that though.
I can only think Madrid or Barcelona didn't have confirmed interest until now and he couldn't do this during the season.
As for putting teams off, it depends on what opinion you have. Is Suarez doing this randomly or intentionly? If it's randomly like many people say then that would put you off. If you take my view he does it intentionly for his own gain (a big transfer), then if you were a big enough club he'd surely stop.
