I don't know if they did this intentionally but...

We're signing Debuchy on Danny Simpson's birthday, who will be 26.

Debuchy's squad number?


26...

@JuveGAF: Balotelli.... top striker.... thoughts?

He's a loose canon, but Conte will fucking crush him if he fucks up. Quagliarella opens his mouth? FUCKING BENCH. Vucinic a lazy fucker at Roma, but now he actually presses the opposition. If anyone can turn Balo around, it's Prandelli and Cunte.

No, based fade. Even Conte wouldn't be able to kick some sense into that empty head of his. Remember Cassano and Capello? Same thing, with Balo being an even bigger airhead than Antonio (and with far less talent, imo) and Conte being even less patient and 'fatherly' than Fabio. It wouldn't work. Conte is a Lippi's man, he follows a completely different football code. The team before the individual. With Capello, it was often the contrary.

It's never going to happen anyway. Marchisio said it best in a recent interview. "“Here, we have rules. He has tremendous talent, but I'm not sure whether he will be able to change here."

Gio and(?) Quag can play Treq right?

I don't think they can. They can't defend the ball for shit. Gio is useless with his back against the goal, Quag is ... Quag. A very talented finisher, not a creator. I'll say it again: if we lose Vucinic, we're fucked. FUCKED. Newcastle's level of fucked.
Debuchy will save us, Kyoufu!

Sporting director Prade and Montella are doing an amazing job. Llorente *and* Jovetic? I ... All would be forgiven, Marry.

Doubt Simpson cares. He's turned you down. Think of that. Danny Simpson wants to leave you. Danny Simpson.

edit: Fuck off Kate. Should have killed her off in the first minute of the first episode

Man if we can get Astori and Will Buckley this window I'd be pretty content.

I'd like a world class keeper but not like there are many out there.

3rd episode of the last season

Its legitimately terrible. Not just compared to the old Lost, but compared to TV in general.
Click to expand...

Yup, S6 was a travesty. There are a few of episodes that are classic Lost though.

More specifically: 6.07, 6.09, 6.11, 6.12, 6.14.

I didn't know Baines had an offer to join Bayern Munich which he turned down.

Didn't want to leave home.

What a boss.

Fuck Bayern.

How can you remember the episodes individually. Can you recall what happens in each of those specific episodes?

Yes I'm not sure about Quag either but playing him there worked fine before.

Not so much creating chances as much as creating space I guess.

Gio is useless at many things (

) but he can pull something out of his ass sometimes!

I'm sure we're getting Juvetic but they WILL bleed us dry in the summer. His comment about 'changing sides' and 'staying in Italy' made me believe in him even more.

I pretty much can. 8)

Thought season 6 was pretty good once they got out of that temple shit, despite the sillyness, had gotten used to that at this point though (and season 5 was way worse).

In his time with us we loaned him to 5 different clubs.

They all sent him back.

Then Newcastle paid a full £1m for him.

Thanks.

Robbed.

Like that time you told me to bet on RVP -> City.

You robbed me.

edit: Scary part is Simpson was statistically the best RB in the PL last season.

Get that in your head.

Is it cos you've seen them multiple times?

Sometimes I'll be talking to people about shows and they'll say "oh man episode X of season X is so amazing!". It's kind of impressive. I just remember the storylines within the season and the episodes blur together, apart from like one or two really amazing episodes.

Haha. I was so sure he'd go there. When I win the FPL league I'll give you your money back.

I usually re-watch some of my favorite tv shows, especially because they're on tv all the time, so it's not really hard to memorize scenes or even lines. I know many lines from Friends.

I vaguely remember the best episodes of the Wire, but by the events within them rather than the episode numbers or titles.

Of course, it helps that The Wire is the greatest thing ever to be filmed

edit: I've come too far to drop Lost now. X-Files all over again

I still haven't made a start on S4 of The Wire.

Can't bring myself to go back after the disgraceful end to S3.

I just started watching The Wire, man those first 2-3 episodes were a chore. But it's finally taking off and I'm enjoying it.

Why would you deprive yourself like that?

Has anyone watched S3 of Friday Night Lights? I'm working through S2 now, but it's so disappointing compared to S1 :(

Sturridge in the centre, Suarez wherever.
The status of Luis Suárez as Liverpool’s top scorer and talisman will not prevent a change of position to accommodate the arrival of Daniel Sturridge.

Suárez has flourished as a central striker this season, emerging as a leading contender for the Footballer of the Year award after scoring 15 Barclays Premier League goals in the first half of a season in which he has, at times, carried the attack almost singlehandedly.

However, Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, has intimated that he believes the Uruguay forward could be just as effective in a more withdrawn or wider role in his preferred 4-3-3 system as he looks to push Sturridge, the new £12 million signing from Chelsea, into his favoured central role.

Such a redeployment of Suárez would be a gamble, but it would also be a demonstration of Rodgers’s faith in Sturridge, who is expected to make his Liverpool debut in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie away to Mansfield Town.

Rodgers revealed his plan for Suárez in a recent question-and-answer session with Liverpool supporters’ websites, in which he said: “I don’t see Luis staying in the middle. His strength is on the move, but if you do that you need someone in the box. He’s so creative, but there’s no one to pull the ball back to.”

The arrival of Sturridge has changed that and Rodgers is now in a position to put his plan into practice, even if it does mean that Suárez has to accept taking on a new role for what his manager describes as “the common good of the team”.

“Daniel’s best position is as a central striker,” Rodgers said. “I have said 4-3-3 will become richer because of the type of players. There is not one way to play 4-3-3. You can play one up, a floating No 9 like Luis Suárez and two wingers. You can play one like Daniel Sturridge central, two in and around him narrow, with full backs bombing on.

“The principles of your game are based on your players. I think for Daniel, his best position will be straight through the middle with his pace. I spoke with Luis at length about this a number of times.

“This has been in the plan for a few months. When he played at Ajax he played in behind as a No 10 in between the lines, and he played as a reverse winger from the left side so he wasn’t quite out wide, he was tucked in round the corner.

“Wherever he plays, he will make the same movements and he will find the space because he is a world-class player. It is not a problem having top players. Don’t talk about problems with players, we need good players.”

Rodgers turned down the chance to sign Sturridge last summer, but has since been convinced by both the 23-year-old’s attitude and desire to play for Liverpool. He also believes that the move to Anfield is the right one at the right time for the England forward, something he does not believe was the case when Sturridge joined Chelsea from Manchester City 3½ years ago.

“There is always a risk and doubts about any player,” Rodgers said. “I have spoken to enough people who have worked with Daniel, and you always have to do your homework. You are never going to be 100 per cent sure they will succeed, but over time you have that bit of thinking time to look around and see how they are going to fit in, and then when you meet the player and take it from his own side.

“You need to look in the player’s eyes and see if they have that hunger, and he is coming off the back of being at a big club but one where he hasn’t played and he is coming here with everything to prove.”

We should be flooding Jojo with enticing messages, high-class escorts and rolexes every fucking day. If he definitely wants to stay in Italy, we may have a shot. Probably the only high profile striker we can realistically get to, unless the usual suspects decide to bury him and Fiorentina in gold.
