Andrew

everton are signing a striker from tigres subject to selling beckford to leicester

no, he has the attributes to be, hes stronger, probably faster but best has the uncanny nack for scoring goals that cole doesn't

someone should be bringing him in as a coach tbh rather than him dropping that far down hes got masses of experience at the top top level, arsenal should be getting him signed up

based on?

well campbell has already moved this window

I think its a good buy I think all of our signings (excluding elliot who is just...kind of a none entity) this window have been good buys whether theyre enough to see us improve considering the outgoings of the last 2 windows is another matter

actually smiths a fucking nightmare to get rid of on FM, not unlike real life hes perfectly content to see out his contract collecting his money while I make him train alone and not play for any team at any level.

Aye I know

I love him. Glad to see you figured out you were thinking of some one else... Wasn't Mertesaker the bloke who was absolutely solid for Germany all through the World Cup last summer? Mind you, it's not like England caused him any concern. He's fuckin shite, awful at Real Madrid, he's definitely not the answer. Ask Isegrim he'll tell you. It's not impossible for Arsenal to come 6th this season. per mertesacker never played for real madrid stevie, youre thinking of christophe metzelder, who is indeed shite and now pretty old. PM is 26, has 75 caps for germany, is massive and is quality. will be a beast of a pairing with vermaelen

I was fine on the practical, I was shitting myself before the theory though it was luck that got me through the hazard perception, one of the most flawed ideas going is the HP test

does nobody read the fucking thread Santon, was given that title playing really well under mourinho, since then hes had a couple of injuries and a chop and change of managers and was loaned out by their last one inter have no manager at the moment but mourinho clearly rated him while he was there. hes not coming with baggage beyond wanting to prove himself again and gain back the reputation he built up under mourinho which is no bad thing you dont pick up your first international cap as a defender for italy unless youre a good player.

thats a shitter, watched twente the other night, hes a fucking quality player

im definitely in the wait and see category, adapting to the prem from serie a can be tough but Ive seen him play a bit and hes unquestionably really talented. im on the positive side of wait and see.

agree with ant about getting out, a lesson a week is fine if youve got parents or someone who'll go out with you a few times as well, its how I did it, one proper lesson and out for a bit with my dad every day before my test

really? where to? remember when bent left "ah we'll be fine gyan is better blah blah etc"

hardly, hes earned that title of the next maldini playing under mourinho, lost his way with injuries and constant manager changes since but the lad is a quality player. its not like hes sprung from obscurity I know a few posters, myself included, do watch italian football a fair bit. the boys good, simple as that.

Vuckic and Abeid. Neither perhaps out and out strikers but even if we did bring in Macheda we'd still be using Ba, Best, Shola etc, would prefer our own youngsters playing alongside them than someone elses

but...we have our own strikers with potential that Id rather see us try to bring on rather than loan in someone elses

thats the only time Ive heard it put that way, more that different coaches tried to use him differently which is hardly his fault

ridgewell would be alright with us

Really? I always thought he was considered the long-term Cashley Hole replacement? theyre after a LB from porto though I think, one of AVBs players

stats wise he looks decent, whats he actualy like?

remember BBCs pundits mocking Low during the world cup thats right these men

because hes gash, out on loan last season and did precisely nothing

arsenal want him apparently, we wont compete im sure
