BRACE YOURSELF DC
BIENVENIDO ISCO
Beaten by a million people but... yeah, comic sans.
His Italian is great for two months. Yeah yeah it was a quarter spanish but fuck, I'll take even 3/4 foreign language better than Krasic and Elia who couldn't be bothered (Krasic even after a year! No wonder Delneri had to yell so loud... MILOS MILOS MILOS MILOS MILOSSSSSSSS!)
I'd love Diamanti for our 4-3-3. Not so much for 3-5-2, though.
@JuveGAF: Have you heard these rumours of a 3-3-4 with our wingbacks pushing all the way up to support Tevez and Llorente? Certainly would benefit players like Asamoah, but I can't imagine Caceres or Lichtsteiner excelling on the right in that role.

Also, glad that Nani rumours have died down.
Edit: fuck, beaten by Yurt. I DON'T WANT NANI, MARRY. PLEASE. Just Jojo and Ogbonny, maybe Poli.

Also, posted this on Twitter. Marry trolling
Marotta: "It's possible on August 31st that Fiorentina will give us Jovetic on a free loan."

Only if we can pay in installments over three years. Also, can we reduce our payment with a swap from our youth team? We can give United back one of the many youth products we've

Is this for university by the way? Trimming the fat from thesis papers was always a headache for me. Good luck with it bro, here's hoping you're extremely satisfied with it in its final form.
Yeah he would be pretty much useless in a 3-5-2, unless we convert him into another fucking wingback because WHY NOT
3-3-4 is basically our 3-5-2-with-the-ball, innit? It's just a new BS term from GdS.
And GODsteiner will be fiiiiiiiiine. Caceres, whoever, is fucking worse than Padoin(?) on the right/left.
You lost more than one?

£6m for Shelvey to Swansea is a great deal for Liverpool, I'm shocked they got more than half that. Im not saying he's a bad player, but he hasn't really proven himself.
This makes me so ill. SO ILL

Our new pitch done in just a couple of weeks:
sorry bro. I didn't see your comment. the other guys quoted me and their post was higlighted for me. makes it easier to spot.
sorry again and thanks <3
hehe thanksAsk for a name change.
Dr Spidye.
Congrats, amazing achievement
how about Dr Schweini
thanks
Think it came to that because we had interest from multiple clubs.
He could be a great player. Problem is that he already thinks he's made it, so he's plateaued. When he plays in CM alongside Henderson for the England U21's, the difference in quality is astronomical. Same goes for Coutinho, who is the same age, but easily twice the player, and infinitely more mature.
I think he'll probably come good, but we realistically need to at least try to push for a CL spot this year. We don't have the time to wait 3 or 4 years for him to grow up and start contributing consistently to the team.
It's always the left nut that climbs up out of the sack. Never the right. I'm curious as to whether it is incapable, or whether this is just like the coin flipping at the start of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
Fucking lol
I almost crushed mine against a chicken oven yesterday, the relief was utterly palpable and I shared a knowing grin with the delivery man as I walked back out onto the floor.

3-3-4 in the way this is described only really on the counter attack with the move originating with Pirlo. For instance, the bunch of early goals we saw when Asamoah or Lichtsteiner cut the ball all the way across for the other wing back.
As for Caceres, the problem is he has shitty ball control and, unlike Licht (and actually a lot like Krasic), doesn't have the pace to take on his opponent and win. But Caceres actually has a decent cross, header, and shot, so he's useful coming forward. The only problem there is that he has to get all the way back, meaning one of Vidal or Marchisio need to cover, thereby hampering our ability to attack.
Padoin is actually a very good player in that RWB. Better than Caceres in the attacking half but worse in the defensive half. Only reason he played as much as he did is because of Pepe's injury who, for my money, is should play in that role behind Lichtsteiner.
Edit: sorry, I'll keep the tactics stuff to a minimum. Not really conducive to discussion probably, anyway.
thanks
sure thing bro.just post me a pic here and I'll have a look
thanks and man you have no idea.
some pretty disgusting things I had to do
Haha, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

it's easy to forget that he was first team before the sending off against united early in the season. after that point any time he got picked he had a mare. i agree he has potential, if things had played out differently last season we could be looking at a very good player right now.
That's what I'm afraid of.

I'm about 50% through the second book.
I'm scared.
Bit surprised he's there when it's first day back at training today.]
Where's our stikers at, AVB?!
Incidentally, have you guys seen this thread - Edge #256: Why PS4 is your next console (Shots fired, post-DRM 180)?
Over 20 pages of console warriors bitching. I saw it at 2 pages yesterday.
I want the Xbox One to outsell the PS4 for the first 3 to 6 months. GamingGAF could do with a culling in that time.

Viva needs to get a move on with ASOS, I get an update once a week. There's so much left that I can't wait to see his reaction too.
I heard Thiago won't move until he finishes it.

Viva pls
He's a good lad. Moyes probably left him have the day off. As for Rooney, I saw earlier that he scuppered early or something from training. Send him to PSG already.

:lol
I read another 70-ish pages last night. Got 200 left. I estimate I'll finish on Friday night.
Quite possibly, but even at his best, I don't think he was at a level where he could break into our first team ahead of Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson or Coutinho. His only option to play was on the wing, and you have to assume Luis Alberto has that spot now.
I expect some corners of the media will attempt to crucify Liverpool for casting out a promisinf young English player, but I'm really past caring. We've improved the depth of the squad for a £0 net spend, and I'm made up with that.
EDIT: Seen some rumours of us going back to Sevilla, this time for Alberto Moreno. Supposedly did well for the Spain U21's. Anyone seen much of him?
Best striker in the world.
After Llorente, of course.
What made them think we're going to play a 3-3-4? We haven't even started training yet!
SP7-Lichtsteiner was a great combo at times.
What use is Caceres then if his best role is in the back and we're buying Ogbonny?

It's all the strikers who are potentially going to be transferred you mug.
