Que?

So by your logic, if one man cheats on his wife with 100 women, and the other man cheats with 10 women, it is the first man who is a cheat, not the second man? That we should actually ignore the second man's misdemeanours, because in comparison to someone else, he's actually not that bad

So Drogba's future is finally certain, he's going to some Chinese club. Modric to United would be nice, with him sure to leave Spurs this season.

Can Lavezzi really fit in with Chelsea's system? He hasn't been linked with them for sure, but its still a possibility.

I think Lavezzi will go to PSG.

No my logic is they are nowhere close to winning the Diver tag when there's Barcelona with their significant competence for the Award.

Oh man Drogba's leaving Chelsea. Terrible run of emotions really, one of the greats of the decade. Only guy you can call a legend and a legend killer. A heartbreak for the Chelsea fans. But the man left on a high, which couldn't have got any better. Legend.

Hazard has been terribly advised. He'll end up looking like a total nob by the end of the transfer window but he probably is just confused as to where he wants to go and his agents are basically whoring him out.

How on earth does that logic work? So they dive, but because someone else is better they don't get the tag of diver? I killed 10 people, but someone else killed 100 so I'm not a murderer. Sweet.

Mix up on my part - the window opens at the beginning of July, not the end. D'oh!

The thing about the Gulf club is interesting. I had no idea that had ever happened. It does however further reinforce my believe that Redknapp is potentially holding Spurs back. He would clearly have taken the England job, and if he really wants out, then let him sod off.

I'm not entirely sure it will be as easy as they think to keep our players though. When does financial fair play kick in? When do clubs need to have their books balanced by? Because obviously that makes signing players like Bale and Modric a lot harder.

 

[thedon5]

I did. I suggested to a mate we should sign him as he looked quality and scored goals in a crap team. He then informed me that the guy's knee was fecked

Yakubu's done more for Blackburn this season, and he scored good goals at Everton too some years ago, yet he's still being linked to the likes of Southampton. Just because Ba scored some good goals at West Ham, doesn't mean he's considered as good as he is now.

----------

There's a rumour that Hazard is to sign for Utd for ?45m - but remember, this is 'silly season'.

Admittedly, I know little about Kagawa, but he's an attacking midfielder like Modric, isn't he? I'm not sure we need two attacking midfielders.

I just used Hazard for the sake of that example. He's going to City though.

Modric is perfect for the United system, he's good at distributing the ball to the wings and can play deep at United like he does at Spurs.

Kagawa is an attacking midfielder, but you guys don't really have one other than number 10, but Shrek's already there... So basically either Shrek has to move up, or Kagawa will be out of place playing deep or on the wings, basically unable to fully show his brilliant shooting, passing and dribbling ability. He shouldn't go anywhere near United. He won't fit.

Obviously people now rate him more than then, but if people had paid attention to him then, he was exactly the same striker, he hasn't suddenly grown a third leg. He almost kept them up single handedly. Yakubu has done exactly what Ba did, scored goals in a team that went down, except that Yakubu is known to have an attitude problem, and has a tendency to get injured too. Shame, because I've always liked the Yak, good player when he's fit and in form. Big smile always as well

He's stayed healthy for a while though. One thing's for sure, he's now got confidence that he can stay out of the treatment room for a long period of time, and other clubs are seeing this too.

Plus, the effect he had on the team was huge at the start of the season. He seemed to do everything early on, arguable without him, Newcastle wouldn't have dreamt to have finished ahead of Liverpool.

Ba did it for 7 matches, the Yak did it for a whole season. Without him, Blackburn would have been relegated by Christmas. He has a great finish and great strength. Yeah the smile is pretty amazing, and the nice Anelka style celebration, not overdoing it at all.

Attitude problem shouldn't get in the way. Surely he has a better attitude than someone like Balotelli... He deserves a move to at least a mid table club. Somewhere like Sunderland or Swansea maybe. Or even Everton again if they didn't get Jelavic.

 

[puddleduck]

I think the Everton thing is what will put those clubs off, but to be honest there's plenty of bottom half clubs he would score goals at. The worry of course is that a whole season takes its toil and he has a poor summer and comes back unfit and gets injured again

Bad attitude doesn't have to mean sulking and getting sent off, in his case he's just quite lazy in regards to the other parts of football that aren't game day

I don't see how that's at all unlike a lot of the players in the Prem. You have to deal with egos as a manager, it's a part of football. Balotelli is lazy in regards to other parts of football too.

 

[puddleduck]

Yeah, I'm saying he's a bad trainer basically, and that gets around and certain managers won't take a punt. O'Neil wouldn't take him to Sunderland for that reason.
