  1. It wasn't universal derision by any stretch - it seemed to be by the same people; the ones who don't understand what CMs do.
  2. Senderos then Baker then Donacien then Richards would be my order.
  3. Over 3.5 goals on Skybet is 11/4, both teams to score in both halves is 20/1. Bets that I'd be looking at.
  4. 1x Bacuna. Lols. the new Makelele In an alternate universe where Makelele was a footballer without the requisite skills to play in one defined position, then yes.
  5. Best of luck to the lad back at Porto.
  6. Do we? I seem to remember Barry and Petrov getting a lot of stick for passing 'soidewayyyys'.
  7. I'd say he may have even doubled in value since we bought him.
  8. There are two real areas of concern for me: 1) Giving Richards the captaincy. 2) Playing Richards as a CB.
  9. Could be the sleeper hit of the summer's transfers.
  10. Seems a bit redundant talking about Berbatov and Balotelli - I'd say it's massively unlikely that we'll be signing either of them. Adama Traore has been linked though, which is interesting. Anyone seen him?
  11. Westwood will never play for England IMO and I think you guys are overrating him massively.
  12. That's where it got confusing, with you now.
  13. That's the point though, it's perfectly possible that he wrote it. What point were you making?
  14. I think he knows a lot about the attacking side of the game but I think he knows sod all about defending, which is my concern.
  15. We don't know that - he got us that close with the signings he made, so he might have been able to do it. Ah well, it's all history now and nothing to do with Sherwood I guess. For some reason, I don't get the feeling that Sherwood will be with us for that long. I've no idea why.
  16. An extremely brief tweet, using an unnatural construction (new player of) and a spelling mistake (verry), doesn't prove his ability to speak English. I watched his AVTV interview (which was all in French). He said that he is looking forward to learning English. Granted, that doesn't mean that's not his Twitter. I think it's highly unlikley though. It's really basic - he could easily have written it. As he's French, he most likely studied English a bit at school, so he probably knows a little.

  18. No Man Utd CBs that we could get are worth signing.
  19. Any defence with Richards at CB is going to fail.
  20. Interesting - definitely something we could do with. At the moment, I think we need someone who's all about clearances though. Laursen was absolutely incredible at it.
  21. Can't be any worse than last season (as a whole).
  22. Richards as CB does not sit well with me at all.
  23. This indicates to me that we're trying to replace Benteke by diversifying what he brought to the team over a few different players. Gestede would suit certainly make up for the lack of dominant, tall, strong, aerial thunderbastard.
  24. It seems that he'll be starting there for us this season.
  25. We definitely need to get on with selling players.
