Hope not, but fair point. That being said, don't you think Suarez is pretty much guaranteed a spot for Uruguay anyway? In comparision to Benteke who has the likes of Lukaku, Miralles, Bakkali, Mertens etc. breathing down his neck.

The fact is... I had to visit this page after reading that: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/exonerates And: thanks

Yeah, bet if off is he leaves now or january. Must remain a liverpool player, which my mate still thinks he will be. My thinking is that IF he stays at this point he surely can't be 100% behind the cause and thereby drop in performance. 6th was my guess and then he went out on his annual "this is our year, we'll get back into the champions league"-rant. So it became a bet

Hahahaha... Wow, that was bad! Second language, though! Second language! When I'm in the ol' land of the angels the I speak the most delightful english. As me and the chaps play a jolly round of crrrrrrricket or go penny-farthing into the f**king sunset. Or something

Just made two bets with a Liverpool supporting mate. I win lots of beer if: Benteke scores more goals than Suarez this season And/or: Liverpool finishes 6th or worse Not sure of any of them, really. Just fuel for the banter

No man, I'm much more masculine than that. I was searching for ways to make the perfect ponytail and then these phags show up. I was like...

Bronies! Huge community of adult guys that collects pony figures and loves the show "my little pony". I shouldn't mind. I mean, i'm here, there there. We're not interacting, I'm not been forced upon anything. They are happy and should be allowed to like anything they like. Still.

Went to Malaga CF, but is currently playing for their reserve team Atletico Malagaueno. Not sure about the when, why and for what price (if any).

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

Birmingham City.

No one else, really. Been faithful since that Dean Saunders goal vs Ipswich in 1993 However, if all the smalltime clubs in my city finally decides to join together to create one decent side (representing our city as one), I'd probably go there and support them as my second team.

Here, fixed that for you But seriously, I hope you're right. Kiyo or other quality playmaker and we're looking really strong !

He had a blast though. Won the serbian big brother after his football career, had lots of girls, did lots of drugs, driving nice cars (stopping them in the middle of the road to jump on top of them in some vids )... etc. I mean, you can symphetize with sasa as a human being, but the road he chose really just had one destination.

Definately, and if you look real closely at the picture you'll also notice Ljungberg's hairline pushing up at the moment the beard attacks him.

Haha, laughing hard at this thread! Actually met Olof in Sweden a few years back, we had a nice little chat about Villa and everything was cool. However, after walking away I suddenly realized that my beard had crawled back into my skin after being stared down by his. It's still hard to make it come back out

Its been ignored, remember?!?! That's sooooo 6th of august, 2013. Newest from mentioned informant is that kyiotake might have a confidentiality clause in his contract, preventing him from telling the truth about his move to us. That way nurnberg can just sit back and, as mentioned, ignore the offer. It's the perfect plan!

Translated a few of his tweets, one said: "That takes time ajajaj pr the other day I dropped 1Note .. I have wings girls with this one little guy in the boat .." Open conversation -> look for context. No context found whatsoever. What are you trying to teach us, oh great bearded one?

Found an interesting report on him on bundesligafanatic.com. Highlighted what seems to be his main quality (based on vids i've seen as well): Hiroshi Kiyotake: In many ways, Kiyotake’s career has been a delayed version of Kagawa’s. Cerezo Osaka bought him in 2010 as a replacement for Kagawa, who was heading for Dortmund. Two years later, Kiyotake arrived in Germany himself, just after Kagawa had packed up and left for Manchester United. So far, in his first season in the Bundesliga, Kiyotake has been exceptional. The 23 year-old has started all 16 league games for Nürnberg, and is tied for the team lead with three goals. He has also recorded five assists, tied for seventh most in the league. What has been particularly impressive about his performances has been his set-piece delivery. Time and again, his free-kicks and corners are sent into the box with swerve and pinpoint accuracy, creating havoc for opposing defenses. His delivery together with his creativity in the middle of the park have been on delightful display this season, as he has created 76 chances for Der Club. For the second half of the season, he will have to keep up the good performances if Nürnberg are to climb up a tight middle of the table (relegation will probably not be a worry with the likes of Hoffenheim, Augsburg, and Greuther Fürth below them). If he keeps going at this rate, he may follow the Kagawa path once again to a Champions League team. Looks like the right player for us, doesn't he?

Thanks

Who's playing alongside Baker as our other CB? Vlaar?

Don't think so as it was on the players own account. But as for my post above, he was just used as an example because he is the last defender we've been linked with.

I agree. We sometimes forget that when he was injured last season he was badly missed. The signing of Okore, if fit, should go a long way to helping the defence but in my view we still should be looking for another CB because it's a long season and with our injury history with CB's we need more back up. I just can't see Lambert bringing in another CB. When fit, we'll have Vlaar, Okore, Baker & Clark. If 2 of them are injured, we can struggle by with one of Lowton or Herd as cover (or Donacien will get a shot). I think Okore will be the only CB addition, personally. If we bring in another, we'll have 5 CBs! Not necessarily a bad thing that. Defence is definately our weak point and we really need to find a back four that works well together. And not only that, we also need to be able to put someone else in without losing quality in the case of injuries and suspensions. If we get another one in that only adds to the chances of archieving that, at least if that player is somewhat versatile. Let's say we got Marco Capuano for example (who can also play at left back). Then we'd have lots of possibillities to choose from in each position: RB: Lowton, (Luna), (Donacien), (Bacuna). CB: Vlaar, Okore, Capuano, Baker, Clark, Donacien. LB: Luna, Bennett, (Capuano), (Clark). We could play: Lowton, Okore/Capuano/Baker, Vlaar, Luna/Capuano Lowton is injured/suspended we can put Luna out on the right (or Donacien/Bacuna) and play Capuano or Bennett on the left (whoever that deserves it the most, not just the "one other option" we have). If Vlaar is out we'd still have 4 or 5 to choose from. Luna is injuried we'd still have two others behind him etc. etc. Also, as mentioned in one of the previous pages, a defence is very much a thing of finding the right balance. Vlaar/Clark does not work very well together, but who knows, maybe Clark is great with (the speed of) Okore beside him. Maybe the CB'S have had to "cover" too much for Bennett and looked worse then they really are. Or maybe Bennett would become better with Okore and Baker in the middle etc. I think we need at least one more defender to have enough options to find the optimal back four (with quality backups keeping them on their toes), maybe two (If Donacien is not considered a first team player yet or Bacuna isn't to be considered as a RB option).

thats not good. He is a pile of crap these days Yeah, I know... got him mixed up with Koscielny for a second there... Vermaelen is obviously not a big loss for arse at the moment.

Absolutely destroyed the Milner deal. We got £18m + Ireland if I remember correctly. Ireland is on 80k a week. That's £4.16m a year. He's been here three years picking up aprox. £12,5m in salaries. That's basically the same as if we sold Milner for £5,5m IMO.
