England usually change their shirts in April so I wouldn't bet on it.

Ryan Babel when given the chance as scored goals, played well and shown the glimes of brilliance he has in his locker. He just needs that game time and then the confidence will come, I personally wouldn't mind seeing him start in a Liverpool line up all week, he'd bag goals...

Reina
Konchesky Carra Dagger Johnson
Babel Gerrard TBD (Lucas not good enough) Cole
Kuyt Torres

Aye, 4th choice DM and about 12th choice CM at Barcelona. Top player. His nickname by the fans was "El Burro". I will let you work that one out. As for him being able to pass, lol. Ok, I take it you didnt watch him the rare times he made the Barca first team?

There were no barca fans sad to see him go. The fact your "club" paid Barcelona £24m to take him off their hands is quite simply, unbelievable.

The bitterness and envy is strong in you. I guess you are a dipper by birth.

I guess we could have signed a tramped nicknamed 'the drinker' for £8m, who hasn't even played in a top league competition.

Thank you for making me smile. Should we ignore the fact that Busquets' father being Guardiola's closest friend or highlight the fact that he is Catalans. Or that 90% of Barca fans on there most popular forum wanted him picked ahead of Busquets. Maybe you also forgot how he ran the midfield against top sides in Europe and that he and his previous club were about to receive large sums in relation to appearance bonuses or that Guardiola wanted to keep him. I guess you cannot remember that he was so poor that he even looked top class playing centre half in some games during the final stages of the CL.

I have referred to Yaya Toure being a brilliant footballer well before he joined us. Name me a team in the Prem he would not start.

I honestly believe that if someone doesn't rate Yaya Toure then they simy don't know anything about football. Thank you for proving my point. You're not alone I here though

Have you ever mentioned Robinho's mental health issues before on this forum? I certainly don't recall reading it.

Have we had a debate about his mental health previously? Ifnot was there a time when I was obliged to make reference to it?

I just find it funny that the day after Robinho signs for AC Milan you are making reference to him having a mental illness, when it never came up in the two years he was a Citeh player.

You were never obliged to make reference to it. But you aren't obliged to suddenly make reference to it now he's gone. The fact that you do shows what a to55er you are IMO.

So anyone who doesn't rate Yaya Toure as a footballer doesn't know anything about football interesting logic there. So we're not allowed opinions either now?

Re: Football Chat : Thu Sep 02, 2010 7:05 am  

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion over Toure.

I just thought it a bit of a shame that Tevez's howler on sunday meant that Yaya's stunning break was completely overlooked.

Really? WHich "forum" may that be? The english speaking one frequented by "fans" who watch the odd game on sky? Because the official spanish speaking forum couldnt wait to see the back of him. As for running the midfield against top sides in europe, this is a complete fallacy, engineered to save face about signing a reserve player for £24 million. Toure has never "ran" a midfield at all. Its not and never has been his job to "run" a midfield. Ive seen every single Barcelona CL game for years and not once has he ever "ran" a midfield.

Anyone who disagrees with a City fan are just bitter of their money.
