I'm surprised that no club has made a serious bid for James Mc Carthy. He's too good for Championship football.

Didn't Wigan want an obscene amount for him? Something like 20 big ones is what I read in this thread.

Yep Dave Whelan

Spoiler

He broke his leg you know

has been throwing around a cool 15m price on his head.

Yes he is a better player than Bale but he is worth every single pound of the offer made for Spurs and Madrid for some absurd are infatuated with him. So Flo is dng whatever he needs to do in order to get him. Whatever his reasons are? God knows!

Because he can do stuff like this.

He's already got one of the best left foots in world football and has now physically matured into a bit of a beast. He's the type of player that would of given Dortmund all kinds of troubles.

 

[panty]

Dat bus.

Congrats Chelsea.

That's the rumoured price. But I don't really think they're in a position to demand such a fee.

Joey Barton is another player who's too good for Championship football. Although, there are probably be less clubs after him for obvious reasons.

 

[dalVlatko]

That was classic torres

 

[K1LLER7]

Torres lol

Great skill

 

[rodvik]

I am trying to figure out if Torres was brilliant or terrible there.

 

[FootballFan]

Holy Torres :lolol Should have gone for a shot at one point..

 

[Suen]

Fucking Milan, had a good opportunity to score there,

 

[Salvadora]

scouting report on Matthias Ginter: Ginter, 19, has been likened to Phil Jones

Do not fucking want.

 

[ShogunX]

That was amazing.

It was Liverpool Torres to Chelsea Torres then a flash of Liverpool Torres followed by the predictable ending of Chelsea Torres.

The man is an enigma.

 

[rodvik]

Ivanovic. Best defender in the English league?

oh no

Interestingly enough Arsene Wenger wanted Jones before United got him.

If Suarez goes, I'd happily take him back for £10 - £15 million.

 

[K1LLER7]

Kompany, Vidic (when fit), Rio all before him imo

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Last thing I want is fucking Beaker

 

[K1LLER7]

Cahill got merked

 

[rodvik]

Kompany, Vidic (when fit), Rio all before him imo

Rio Ferdinand? Come on son, this is 2013.

 

[K1LLER7]

Rio Ferdinand? Come on son, this is 2013.

Our best defender last season. Was immense alongside Evans/Vidic.

 

[Wilbur]

Rio Ferdinand? Come on son, this is 2013.

Rio was amazing last year.

 

[Suen]

Milan lol...

 

[Clegg]

Our best defender last season. Was immense alongside Evans/Vidic.

*after December*

We don't talk about the first 4 months of the season.

 

[Kyoufu]

Rio was amazing last year.

Rio had a bigger presence on Twitter than the pitch last season.

 

[Salvadora]

Laurent "the boss" Koscielny has a good shout for best CB in the league.

 

[FootballFan]

Ivanovic. Best defender in the English league?

After Rio, Reid and Kompany.

 

[Clegg]

Last season was Rio's best for a number of years. It helped that he finally got a decent run of fitness. The last couple of seasons were blighted by back problems.

 

[Kyoufu]

Laurent "the boss" Koscielny has a good shout for best CB in the league.

He has improved, I'll give him that.

Best CB though? I dunno about that.

 

[rodvik]

For sure he was good for you lot as part of that team. But I dont think he is anywhere near Ivanovic for pace and power anymore.

I will grant you Rio knows where to position himself, no doubt.

 

[LegoArmo]

Jonny Evans is the best in the league, and massively underrated.

 

[Clegg]

That was weak Koofoo.

You've spent too much time with your JRPG's this summer.

 

[Salvadora]

United's defence was a mess last season.

He has improved, I'll give him that.

Best CB though? I dunno about that.

Don't think I've forgotten your tirade against him last season

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Did Rio score a last minute winner in a European Cup final?

 

[FootballFan]

10 strikers + goalkeeper vs 10 CBs + goalkeeper, who wins?

Discuss

It's only pre-season bro. I'm saving my best for the new season.

The opposite of what I said last season ended up happening, including Koscielny not being utter shit.

No matter who wins, the supporters lose.

 

[K1LLER7]

10 strikers + goalkeeper vs 10 CBs + goalkeeper, who wins?

Depends which team has De Gea and which has Valdes

 

[rodvik]

No, he was there for when they got dumped out of the Europa League though

 

[Salvadora]

Giroud is the sexiest striker in the league.

 

[ShogunX]

10 strikers + goalkeeper vs 10 CBs + goalkeeper, who wins?

Discuss

The 10 CB's of course. Especially if one of them is John Terry who has secretly fucked every wife of the 10 strikers before hand.

Laurent "the boss" Koscielny has a good shout for best CB in the league.

Not really. Koscielny is about the same level as Agger. I'd say there are a handful in a level above.

If Suarez goes, I'd happily take him back for £10 - £15 million.

Fuck that.

 

[K1LLER7]

Torres off???

These American commentators call Schrulle, 'Shurry' lol

 

[FootballFan]

Giroud is the sexiest striker in the league.

Dat angle, doesn't show the deflection. Reminds me of Rooney's shin bicycle kick.

 

[ShogunX]

Torres off???

He should Shurry off the pitch because he's been shit. I know he's had a sore throat bless.

 

[FootballFan]

To answer my own questions, I think the CBs would win. Stamina on their side, but mainly because quite a lot of CBs know how to attack and also score from set pieces. Strikers can't defend.

6-1 to the CBs.

 

[MPW]

chelsea vs madrid

oooh yeah

anyone know date and time (eastern) for it?

 

[xintin]

Torres off???

These American commentators call Schrulle, 'Shurry' lol

they keep saying Peter Schwarzer, too :lol
edit - nice hit Schurrle

 

[rodvik]

Lukaku is the poor mans Benteke. Tekkers would have buried that AND wrenched the head off the goal keeper as a trophy.

edit: Nice goal.

 

[K1LLER7]

Shurry scores :lol

 

[ShogunX]

Shurry scores :lol

Of course. Great finish as well.

 

[Salvadora]

Not really. Koscielny is about the same level as Agger. I'd say there are a handful in a level above.

I think they're hampered by the players around them.

Koscielny had to play with Santos, Vermaelen and Jenkinson at times. A diamond in the rough.

Dat angle, doesn't show the deflection. Reminds me of Rooney's shin bicycle kick.

The deflection was planned #GiroudGOAT
