I will, thanks!

Good man yourself!!!

 

[Hector Grey]

Thanks everso much. You're a brick.

 

[oh shit]

I think Andy's been alright since the Everton semi final. I mean, he broke his duck. We saw the 'real' andy carroll at the end of the season and in ukraine. It just wasn't very good. BR definitely wants someone who will commit to pressing and tackling in the opposition half. is that really andy's style? is it???

as for waiting to january... well let's face it, his stock is pretty much as high now as it will ever be, now that the doyennes of english football churnalism have decided the redemption narrative is complete. funny how one goal for engerland against fucking sweden is worth more than a late winner in the FA cup semi final.

I suppose i just wanted it to work. It's a lorra money, and they should make it work. He's still young, he could improve, but having him there and not playing him would be the same as letting him go at a massive loss. If he does leave, and Dirk has already gone, we're two strikers down.

Finally, this will be greatest player in the history of football, Dani Pacheco's year.

Looks like one of those holes will be plugged: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jul/13/liverpool-fabio-borini-transfer

Know nothing about this dude, but Rodgers obviously likes him having had him at Chelsea and Swansea.

 

[Hector Grey]

Ac Jimbo rates him.

 

[Nugget-]

I think Pacheco fooled as all into believe he would be great.

 

[oh shit]

what about suso? and sterling? are they still cool?

joe allen rumours haven't gone very far have they? he'd be a cracking buy. lucas and allen in the middle would tick all my boxes. charlie adam could then go back to newco rangers.

 

[Nugget-]

Ha where he belongs!
I think Pool have missed Lucas so much. Midfeild falls apart without him

 

[washingcattle]

Have any Italians played well for northern teams ?

Ravenelli for Boro. Matterazzi for the one season we had him and thats about it isn't it?

 

[Nugget-]

Well there was the Middlesbrough days they had a few Italians back in the day. Balotelli is at City obviously

 

[Hector Grey]

Gianluca Festa!
And Everton qualified for the champions league with an Eyetie....what was his fucking name...ugly bastard.....Nicola something.....

 

[Hector Grey]

Left back....

 

[washingcattle]

Ferrari He only played 8 times for us though. Wasn't a bad player but true to form didn't settle and went back to Italy. Ballotelli can't be considered a success just yet. Flashes here and there but he's still got a lot to prove.

Festa was a top player alright.

 

[washingcattle]

Pistone.

Fine player actually forgot about him.

 

[Hector Grey]

Pistone.

Fine player actually forgot about him.

That's the prick. Long, greasy hair. Perpetually pissed off look about him. Yep.
Also, we're forgetting the north's north: Enrico Annoni at Celtic. And Paolo Di Canio, who also turned out in Sheffield. Is that northern?
WHo could forget Marco Negri?

 

[washingcattle]

Sheffield is midlands no ? I guess my theory is based on the amount that have gone for a season, usually youngsters, and fucked off back to Italy. Ravenelli, Zola, Festa etc were already established pros before they left Italy. We've had quite a few Italians that came saw and left again. I think United and Liverpool have had a few too.

 

[Hector Grey]

P.s. not to bring it back on topic or nothing, but Maxi Rodriguez has done one. Traditionally at this time i like to do this:

Most of those lads were nearing past it, or very much past it. The flip side is young Giuseppe Rossi at man u. Terrific player.....now.

Balotelli is still a tit as far as i'm concerned. Sure he can kick a ball very hard, but so could Kevin Pressman.
