carrafan

He had an assist against us for their 3rd goal.

A loan to a Championship club where he can get games would be good for everyone, i think. He's shown that he's good enough to play in League 1 lets see what he offers for a championship club. Hammill was fantastic in Scotland but was very average for Southampton. Lets hope Anderson does better. He wont be fighting for a spot here, thats for sure. He's too old to fit into the U-18's and the reserves are about the level of a League 2 side. A loan would be quite decent.

Wrong forum if you want people to appreciate a Spurs joke. Ajax havent qualified for the Champions League for 2 years in a row now. Anyone in the know know what went wrong there?

Reina. One of the main reasons we could employ the high line + offside trap defensive formation. Doesnt matter if Cech is 3.74 % better at shot stopping, its the player which suits the formation is more important. Improved Sami's shelf life as well.

United could afford to spend a good amount of money on a couple of players for a couple of positions because the rest of the squad is good enough and have no holes. The side Rafa inherited in 2004 had holes everywhere. He didnt have an option but to buy 3 players with a 12 million budget or whatever because of the lack of quality in the other positions. Its easy enough to say buy 1 good player while the rest of the s*** squad can manage itself but it doesnt work that way. He only cleared most of the deadwood last year and actually had a quality side to work with (Even though there were problem areas). In this situation, he bought 2 big players in Babel and Torres. Whose to say that he wouldnt have done so anyway if we had a good side in 04?

Can play up top on his own. Thus fits into our current, system. Pacy and great in the air. Good replacement for Torres in case of any injuries. I wouldnt be averse to signing him at all, at the right price obviously. Unless your on about Marcus. or any man on man stuff.

Dunno what Kaizer said about Insua regarding this game was wrong, myself. A bit strong maybe.

Baros? Might have been a player who never looked up but still we've had worse recently.

Xabi and Crouch are our most salleable assets right now... without the team losing too much. We will lose some parts of Xabi's game if he's sold but then Barry has some qualities that Xabi doesnt, although Alonso is overall the better player. Also, if the Xabi fee is needed to free some extra funds up to buy players for other positions, we dont quite have a choice. Cant see how Barry would command 15 million too; somewhere around 10 perhaps?

Messi's not THAT honest himself. Scored with his hand this season and goes down quite a bit himself. Fair play today though for riding those challenges. Ronaldo is just a cry baby. Saw him go down on his knees begging for a free kick midway into the 2nd half. FFS.

Exactly. Our defence went to sleep and they took advantage.

Tied 1st with David James from what ive heard.

Noticed the set pieces taken by United and most of them were really good. None of the 'cant beat the first man' s*** we usually do. They earn so many points and goals of dead balls, its shocking.

Rooney giving the ref a mouthful now, after a dive. Mature footballer my a***.

Kraken Time!

TBH he did well at the Emirates when he played through the middle. Made a positive impression against Blackburn as well. He's a squad player and is good enough if kept in that mould.

Some fantastic mockering about the headed goals fact. Same as in the CL semis please.

Weetabixmuncher's Ian Dowie?!

He's very highly rated by a good part of the media and almost every big club has been 'apparently interested' in signing him at some point or the other. Think he's being lined up to play in the role that Gerrard is playing now. Either that or its just his agent trying to drive his price up.

Did Paul Dickov play and score for 6 top flight clubs?

Ah, the Tottenham way.
