These Monsters - Call Me Dragon

Mixture of holding, central and attacking midfielders (both Trochowski and Reus are attacking midfielders who can also play on the wing). I waste far too much of my life watching Bundesliga and Serie A games online.

Never being one to pass up the opportunity to make a list... -Danielle Galloppa (Parma) -Gökhan Inler (Udinese) -Alberto Zapater (Genoa) -Wálter Gargano (Napoli) -Marco Donadel (Fiorentina) -Antonio Nocerino (Palermo) -Cristian Daniel Ledesma (Lazio) -Nuri Sahin (Borussia Dortmund) -Piotr Trochowski (Hamburg) -Sejad Salihovic (1899 Hoffenheim) -Zdravko Kuzmanovic (VfB Stuttgart) -Zvjezdan Misimovic (VfL Wolfsburg) -Simon Rolfes (Bayer Leverkusen) -Marco Reus (Borussia Mönchengladbach) Some of those would cost a bit of money, some would be a bargain, some would be a risk but I believe all of those could do a job and are within our reach. Piece o' piss, this manager lark.

If we could somehow combine Reo-Coker's speed/energy with Petrov's tidyness on the ball and reading of the game we'd have quite a player on our hands.

Local Natives - Wide Eyes

agreed but how hard would have been for them to make it claret rather than red? To be honest, I think light blue would've been the better option for the sponsor on the away kit. That way it would both conform to the colour scheme and stand out from the black.

I think you can get a cream for that. :shock:

"Abroad again"? Scotland's hardly abroad.

Was going to mention this, Mandžukić to Wolfsburg is by no means a done deal. I have a suspicion the transfer won't happen until/unless Džeko goes, which means (if we are in fact in for him) we have every chance of getting in there before Wolfsburg.

That's the problem when you've got these sugar-daddies swooping in and buying up aquariums with wild abandon. They're not it in for the fish, they won't bring long-term stability; they're just in it for a quick buck and instant glory. I hear Madrid are also considering a big money move for Shamu, and that an utterly obscene amount of cash will be involved. No doubt Harry Redsnapper will get his cut somewhere along the line, too.

Disgusting behaviour, trying to unsettle a cephlapod by going public with your interest. I hope Oberhausen lodge a formal complaint to TONMO.com.

I prefer to call them "hurried clearances".

Laws are there for a reason. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

He's pretty much Darren Anderton in gloves.

I knew I'd seen a GK before that was similar... Even that effort looks better than our one. :x

Yes to BOF on Campos and yes to knoppy on the 94/95 shirt. They don't make 'em like they used to. ^What a leg-end.

He's busy hitch-hiking down to Basingtoke for Sunday's "big match".

"They're grrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeaat!".

Well, that'll be no kits for me this season. Unless the goalie kit is something feckin' spectacular.

On Frey, the club have said they've no intention of selling and his agent has said he's happy at the Artemio Franchi. As I've said before though, if he does move I'll stake my ever-waning reputation it'll be to a bigger team than us.

I think I'm gonna be sick, those checks are awful. If it was solid blue, it'd be really nice. The trim on the cuff is hideous too. I actually don't mind the claret v-neck collar, or sponsor logo. Meh, I hold out hope for the away kit!
