Just waiting for the FA to go ballistic over goal line cameras now, like the Germany game.

An Englishman (presumably) opens a huge can of worms, then wanders off

And with potentially world class Joe Cole back in the fold the only way is up!

It is interesting, because we might get a better idea of what he is about, but I really wonder about the hype with him. If he hadn't been the player he was his record as manager would not deserve the level of praise it gets, surely? I appreciate it's not just results but also style etc, kind of like BR, but still. he's done very well at Brondby, then left in contentious circumstances, done well at Getafe then walked, gone to Russia, sacked, ok at Malaga, walked. I like him, and I admire his unwillingness to work in a situation where he feels compromised, but it seems to me that so far the hype outweighs the evidence

f*** off, save it for the likes of Diouf

The point is he answered a question about why he hadn't made any assists, and he didn't even imply it was not his fault. Reads more like 'team failing'.

Why hate him for saying he has created some chances which didn't get finished?

Did plenty to be sure we'll be telling stories of a manc hat trick, and numerous big balled penos in 30 years. All hail the Diggler!

And I broke my toe celebrating Alonso's freekick.

Not much, if at all. So we could afford him, but maybe not much else.

I thought that when he first came through, but he plays centre midfield of the Danish National side in a 433 so not sure it's true anymore Disagree, actually, especially based on performances in qualifying for Euro2012. He's ready now I reckon.

One of the best prospects in Europe absolutely no question about that. Maybe a realistic signing for us based on his age, in the past he has had plenty interest from the biggest sides but stayed with Ajax at least partly because of the guaranteed first team football giving him the best chance to develop. He would be first team for us, but wouldn't be at City, Madrid, etc, and therefore there could be a chance to get him this summer. Will cost Suarez type money, though. I Presume you mean Eriksen, by the way

Obviously not been to Anfield in a while

Hahaha, anyone would think we'd embarrassed them in a major European final or something

Lol PSG. Last time that league will be competitive, however, unless someone else with s*** loads of money buys a side *yawn*

Yup

Happy for Torres

He always seems like an experiment in progress but not really got anywhere yet. He makes me think of a next generation Bielsa, all technical excellence and balls out attacking flair.

He only seems to fall out with people who there's a reason to fall out with though, hmmm? I don't deny he plays the game hard. If the job FSG are offering is the messianic manager, then he's far and away the superior candidate. Won't be, will it?

He will cost Suarez money, presumably. And be worth it. You reckon he's gettable this summer due to his age? Bigger clubs all looking but maybe inclined to give him another year or 2 at ajax to develop, whereas we could be putting him in the first 11 straight away

Or that Journo's are throwing names at a problem they have no info about, that would be my bet

a rare CL post without feather spitting It's nothing like that, though, is it? And most of the reason they're losing their minds seems to be 'I've actually heard of her'!

pmsl. Come again?

And who wrote it?

Then we have a nice problem, don't we? Just like any other interview? It can't be worse to have more good options than we expected, can it?
