 Well played
 
BTW, this is why I love this thread so much... We can disagree about things like Balo, but insults aren't being thrown & feelings aren't being hurt (although you might be cursing at me via the screen :p). Only one cat in here that's ill & we all know who that oompa loompa is... :rolleyes

#TeamNTfootyThread!

Yup, all know exactly who that oompa loompa is :lol :{

Giroud!!
 
Phil Schoen doesn't get enough credit for his skills. Extremely knowledgeable about the game, the team, & tactics. Can also pronounce names correctly for a multitude of nationalities. unlike rck3sactown rck3sactown 's man... Schoen is the perfect straight man to counter Ray Hudson too...

Hudson is footy's version of **** Vitale... :smokin

Everton losing it in the final 10 mins of the game, they need to wake up.

These are from a pretty reputable reporter working for SkySports but he covers La Liga and has been pretty on point with transfer news/scoops so far this window...

I can't embed tweets for anything

Things finally moving about di María: meetings (agents, clubs) will take place early nxt wk. He has chosen United

Guillem Balague  @GuillemBalague  · 13m

Real and United are very close in the valuation of the player. He will cost MORE THAN 60m euros, could be 70. He will wear number 7

Guillem Balague  @GuillemBalague  · 12mCristiano told di María United is the club to go. Mendes is returning to Europe from Singapur to finalise deal. All very very close.

Is it finally happening...?

I hate to play the numbers game, but Suarez has .62 goals per appearance for Liverpool. Whereas Balo has .60 with his most recent club Ac Milan. Imo the price which we've paid for Balo and the amount of years we have him locked down for is a steal. He has the talent and he seems more mature.I think it will work out.

I hate that minutia of statistical mumbo jumbo. Statically speaking Cesc has done well while at Barca but we all know he never fit into the squad for a variety of reasons & was never consistent.

If you look dating back to '07-08 campaign, Balo has played like 150-160 games with 50-60 goals & maybe 25 assists. In that same period Suarez has played like 200+ games with 150-160 goals & apprx 100 assists. Even if you cut that in half, he's out performed Balo by a wide enough margin. Suarez has been amazingly consistent on the pitch, bites be damned.... :rolleyes

BTW, Hannibal is going to have another episode & for the record, I wouldn't have signed him to anything longer than a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd (they really don't do that in football) & loads of behavior clauses (which aren't in there)...
