Would like that signing but Bolton is playing hardball apparently, if anything that one will be done over the summer. Supposedly they are also approached you guys about Skrtel, have no idea why we'd need another CB when we just signed Compper though, especially since he wouldn't be cheap.

Another player in Florence for their medical: German defender Marvin Compper from Hoffenheim. Also negotiating with Bolton for Marcos Alonso (left wingback, third generation Madrid youth product) but they are demanding too much, and for some insane reason, with Juventus for one of...

Wasn't painful for me. :lol: But the Caps are basically unwatchable if you aren't a fan of the team killing them right now. Here's what I think happened to them - For one, they really haven't been the same since getting upset by the Habs in the 2010 playoffs. They ran into a hot goalie that...

Loved him as a player (except when he played against a club I like), loved him at River even after his team imploded and needed to go, love him at Atletico.

Diego Costa is awesome, at least when he doesn't get himself sent off he is. Glad he recovered from that nasty injury. Much better than Adrian, you are right. Adrian is one dimensional.

:lol: at people defending Hazard. If that was Suarez who did it you guys would have called him a monster.

Blues should be one of the contenders in the west IMO, between a lot of typically western heavyweights slowed down - the Wings are a shell of themselves, the Canucks have looked flaws so far, the Preds have a weaker defence, the Kings have a massive Cup hangover, and the Blues only getting...

I'm going to expand on this later, but at the same time Alba, Cesc and Pique all left Barca at around the same age the likes of Busquets and Puyol were bought. Yet cules have a fit when Arsenal tries to take credit for Cesc. It's clear Barca has played a role in the trajectory of every one of...

Yup, both known for their dribbling.

You could also mention virtually every club in Latin America, where with the exception of Brazil and Mexico, teams rarely have more than a handful of imports and use most of their limited resources on player development. To give you a hint about what I'm starting a thread on later, Both Barca...

Well said, now that my guests are gone and I have time, I'm going to write that post I told you about in a few hours. I can see just from what you have said how much I'm going to get flamed.

Matias Vecino and Rafal Wolski both in Florence for their medicals today. Both attacking midfielders, the Uruguayan is 21 and the Pole 20, not a big deal in the short term but nice to see them stock up for the future.

Heard earlier, sad news. RIP

Simeone needs to coach Argentina after this.

True.

Hey, I love Rafa Maquez and I'm incredibly happy that Pique has fulfilled his destiny as a Marquez clone.

Gerafael Piquez.

The day has finally arrived. I got my cheap Canadian beer, my Habs jersey, I'm set.
