The goatee does rafa no favours. He looks like the fat jewish bloke off Rome. Not a style I thought anyone would go for.

pointless info: Just got my new away shirt. Reminds me of the old crown paints adidas shirts the way the stripes of material are with the bird inside it.

It's like something out of the Godfather

I'm sorry Rafa, but you now look like your going to sell me a car stereo while pulling an egg from behind my ear.

Or get married to Liza Minelli for a couple of months.

Gutted if United get Tevez thou

And judging by the kit changes that spans 4 seasons! I could find a similar video for pretty much any striker in Europe. If you take away penalties, Torres has scored a total of 46 goals in 4 seasons.

Stats for the last 3 seasons (which also put to an end the idea Ronaldo wasn't any cop in La Lig) - league goals only so as to not skew the players who were in the CL.

Yes...and I hear the 'Pool have bid ten mil for Bable.. ..and he scored five goals last season....

All this foreign money is fucking up football.

 

[Genghis Cohen]

Looks like, as with Torres, the actual initial price is less than widely reported - http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/premiership/article2750468.ece

nani and anderson cost £15m each (in effect) and neither of their records are particularly dazzling, despite playing in a lesser league.

Just the price of being a buying club these days I'm afraid.

 

[iROBOT]

how can Yanks even BEGIN to understand Football?...They all think it's a girls game!!

You's lot will regret this..they are doing it for the money.

You've sold your soul to the devil.

Bellamy's gone

No 'parting shot', either. Kinda surprised me.

more class than reo-coker.

FACT.

 

[g force]

Bigger trouble maker though. Wonder how long before he assaults someone in a Soho club

We could have a sweepstake on him or barton.

A Romford club, please.

West Ham are not that classy...it's Ilford mate...

[cybershot]

Looks like Benayoun is set to leave Ilford.

[fear-n-loathing]

not sure why we need Benayoun, we've got enought players who can play in the middle

There's me thinking Yossi plays down the right flank?

 

[fear-n-loathing]

he may do i always got the impression that he was a central player though

 

[Relahni]

Dunnow about that?

When he was taking the piss out of Riise in the cup final a couple of seasons ago - he was certainly playing on the right.

aye that's true

edit:

just read on timesonline that's he is a winger. i have no idea why I thought he played through the middle

 

[sleaterkinney]

Yossi will probably be playing in the hole, same as Garcia.

 

[tommers]

you're all right. he spent most of his time on the right wing but he's not an out and out winger. He prefers to get it and drift in, and would probably be happier playing "in the hole".

Hope that helps.

 

[sleaterkinney]

It's official, 4 mil, nice little squad player, I think he's underrated

 

[Sunray]

Fuck n 'ell

How much cash are Liverpool spending on strikers. That would make it up to 40 mill if that report is to be believed.

Not convinced by Babel either, I be very surprised if he gets 10 goals all season.

 

[corporate whore]

Ajax verkoopt Ryan Babel aan Liverpool, as they say in Amsterdam

 

[sleaterkinney]

Babel will be to play on the left in a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3, not an out and out striker. We've had no threat down that side for ages.

It's a lot of money to spend on someone who's untested and still a bit raw by the sounds of it.

 

[corporate whore]

Can't see him starting the season in the team, even at that price - £11.5m, according to Ajax.

For sure, ees good for beeg sqwaad, and means we've got genuine cover when Kewell snaps his arthritic banjo string again.

Anyone know if Gonzalez got sold? Am seeing conflicting reports.
