Oh hell thats cruel, but some funny shit no less.

Caen are playing in Ligue 2 this season. Its not uncommon for players from smaller clubs to have a trial with a larger club while still under contract to the former club. You see it more from players from latin/ south America, and Africa because they havent had a lot of exposure. Last season Niang only played in 23 matches and made 14 starts. He also only averaged about 45 minutes per match so even though he is thought of as a super prospect there is more unknown than otherwise.

Great goal return. I"m surprised City doesn't sell a striker to Milan, and promote him to the 1st team.

I dont see it happening. I wouldnt mind adding a set piece expert to ease the reliance on Baines, but Adams is has no speed, and After him playing for the Shite. I say let this die alongside the Owen rumors.

Admittedly I havent seen much of Mirallas, but he is 24, and has nearly 30 caps for a very talented team, and a boatload of goals in Greece. I think Moyes has figured out the whole homegrown player registration system. Develop reserve players, and register them to fill the quota, hope you get a few who are real difference makers and then import your 1st team because they are cheaper. Look at Adam Johnson. He hasnt accomplished near what Mirallas has, and his rumored price is double what Mirallas rumored price is. Thats crazy. Look at the going rate for accomplished Championship, and League 1 strikers. Prices are ridiculous.

But guys we need to replace our England international quota now that Rodwell has departed. On top of that Heskey is the perfect Moyes player; he will defend the oppositions back line like no one else, and he will have a classy goal return of 1:20.

Hes not really a clinical finisher. He has been fantastic for Fulham the last 2 years, but if true number 9's are compared to engineers; Clint is more like a maintenance worker. He doesnt have any great attributes, but is above average at everything. That being said he is fantastic in our national team because we lack class, but he wouldn't be able to provide in the same manner for Everton. I dont think he would play poorly for us, and at this moment is the best American footballer, but I dont think he would even be a 10 goal player, more like 6 or 7. That combined with him being on the wrong side of thirty I would only want him on a free, and short term deal.

Ha I like it. Maybe all sarcasm should be underlined, and in a bold orange font. Then no one would miss the jokes. Except for people on the outside of course.

I wouldnt be that surprised if this is the truth to be honest. Landon plays upwards of 50 matches a year between Everton, LA, and US. More likely its his way of telling US soccer he is tires of being called up for BS friendlies, and isnt going to be around forever. I also think he is telling MLS he is ready to make his permanent transfer to Europe. Landon recognizes he only has so many matches left. If he played for a European team he would only have to make 25-30 starts a year, and then could play for the national team in important matches and cups. Also as much as I love Landon because of his age the only way I would want him is if it was on a free transfer, and a short term deal. Maybe an Arsene Wenger type 1 year rolling contract. (Not that it would happen)

Im not a hater, but I dont think he represents good value for money. That being said your description of him is how I rate 90% of all strikers, and 98% of all wingers. Having pace, and having pace while dribbling are not the same thing.

You know through this process I have lost respect for Yobo. All the stories coming out about him trying to force through a transfer. Its not like we have tried to ransom him for 10mil. We just want a fair below market price for him. I fracking hate Fenerbache. We should hold firm on a price, and if they say no sell him to the middle east. I was thinking about how much I dislike those guys, and did a little google search. Did you guys know that not a single Turkish club received any punishment by their league, and this year Fener are back in Champions league. Who says crime doesnt pay? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Turkish_sports_corruption_scandal#section_10

Wow talk about kicking a dog when its down. Although I guess its better than using a loan shark. Better to have crippling debt than to be crippled from taking a bat to the knee. Pun intended.

I had never heard of this wonga before, but over here native americans live tax free because of all the terrible things my ancestors and the like did to them. I digress, anyway it reminded me of these native american loans

Yeah, but I think his exit was planned since prior to the season ending.

It wont end up being THAT large of a pay cut, if any. He will make up the differance because he will hit all of those appearance bonuses he wouldnt have had at Spurs. If we get 2-3 good seasons out of him it will be worth it. Agreed I could never agree with this statement. Not only was Arteta one of the finest mids in the world, which Peanuts was not , is not, nor ever will be, but Like Romey said we could not have afforded 2 players at those wages. I would imagine the only reason we can now is that our wage bill is down from what it was even last term. All in all I hope Stevie P succeeds because if he plays well the whole team plays well, and what I care most about is winning.

I'll becareful with this statement because its a forgien country and all, but it would be awesome if there was some kind of freedom of information act for all FIFA registered clubs where we could actually see "real" transfer fees, sign on fees, player wages, minimum fee release clauses, etc. Although on the flip side it would lead to more situations like where city poached joleon lescott because big clubs would release statments saying, "We will triple so and so's wages." I guess there is no such thing as a perfect world.

Barton is undoubtedly a quality footballer, but he is a sociopath. I remember after that shite against city he tried to defend his actionson twitter, and it was only after he was punished he acknowlged any wrong doing which I would assume was a condition of his punishment either by the FA or QPR. Those are not the actions of a immature 29 yr old. Those are the actions of a person who is off their meds.

I know I have been a hater about the Pienaar signing, but I saw on twitter Steve is on 70k a week. If everything people are saying about 4.5 Mil fee agreed we had better get get his on more realistic wages. I am thinking something closer to half those wages would be realistic.

I saw ManU's white kit last night. I wouldnt mind something similar; not a complete ripoff. I like how it is simple, and has style. Maybe its just me, but the collar reminds me of something Bruce Lee would wear.

I was really excited because I thought with Nike making the kits they would be much easier to acquire over here, but as of now they are still not available on nike.com. I dont know which one I will get, but I like the collar on the away kit.

Your rant still doesnt justiy saying "Only in America." MOST Americans do not own guns. The preconceptions other countries have about us comes from a media that loves violence related stories, and a Republican Party that primarily consists of uneducated white males. Maybe later you can tell everyone all the other bigotries from your bubble. I suppose all blacks are lazy, all jews are gready, women belong in the kitchen, and all asians have small dicks. You will never hear me say America is anywhere close to perfect, but your assesment is so far off target. I'm done. You don't know shit. Stick to football. If you want to argue with me some more go to reddit, and see what they are saying.

I did read all that you put, but what you finished with did not excuse what you started with.

You are so out of touch with the world. It is horrible, but to imply "Only in America" you can go F*ck yourself for that. Well put. Looking at that list reminded me of the Va Tech shooting. I remember coming home from my class that finished at 10:00 (I went to Michigan State), and my roomate was sitting infront of CNN. We did not go back for our afternoon classes, and kept saying, "wow, of all they places that a shotting would." It could have happened to us. These mass murders of horrible for sure, but when these things happen it is not a reflection of the American population as a whole. Now if we were having a discussion about the country with the highest ratio of citizens who are lemmings American would be hard pressed to beat.

According to this news agency in Nigeria the deal to Fenerbache is nearly done. We will see... http://sports.myjoyonline.com/pages/news/201207/90553.php

UGH, let this rumor die. We dont need him. Either play Vellios, give Hope or another youngster a chance,or add a winger, and play Naismith at striker.
