  1. I agree with this sentiment mostly. Lennon won't be warming the bench though. He would rotate with our other wingers, and he would be used against teams where we need to win in the trenches, as he offers something different than Mirallas or Deulofeu. He would get plenty of time on the pitch. It's not like he would make less than 20 appearances.

     

    plus we still don't have a 10. part of the mirallas signing a new deal could be you can be the 10. so lennon would be starting. i know kev liked playing there the couple times he did this season.

  2. Out of the 15 players we have either in midfield or class as a forward we have 5 wide players.... Mirallas, Pienaar, Oviedo, McGeady, Gerry

     

    Of those 5 only 2 can realistically be considered first team starters - that is Mirallas and Gerry. leaving Oviedo, Pienaar and McGeady next options.....

     

     

    In short we are desperately short of width - selling a back up player for £1m is stupid. Especially considering that if he does find form he is a talented player.

     

    he turned in a transfer request. i would rather sell him than have him be pissed and not want to play for us.

  3. Exacty and that is what he's saying. We can't really afford to sell him for a million because it'll cost us more to buy a new natural winger to replace him. Sell him for one mill spend what to get a replacement?

     

    We may as well keep him now he's here.

     

    i just don't think he'll make the bench pad. well have GK (robles), CB (new), D (garbutt/galloway/browning), Besic, Osman, Naisy, Kone

     

    that's omitting gibson, pienaar, barkley (if we sign a 10). I just don't see who he's beating on that bench. 1m could help us pay someones wages, and honestly it would be better for him to play where he can start and rejuvenate his career.

  4. Noneof those are natural wingers though . More I think about it, MC has a good point.

     

    and i get that, my point is we have so much dead wood in the midfield, we don't need to add bodies, we need to subtract them. but roberto wont, all of them except naisy contracts run out after this year so he's keeping them, which means we won't get a mcgeady replacement, can't afford it. especially since we still need a 10, CB, and young backup RB.

  5.  

    pathetic sponsorship deal with Chang - we get £1.6m a year, Hull got £1m from cash converters.....

     

    holy shit, a team that just got promoted barely stays up has little to no history gets damn near the same amount as us? euro champs, cup winners, longest side in premier league. WTF thank you for posting that, i hadn't realized just how shit that deal was.

    Problem is, American history was 'founded' with guns. It's heritage. Culture. They couldn't just get rid of them.

     

    It's an issue that certainly needs addressing but the idiots that wave their guns about, know ultimately if they wave it at the wrong people, they may also have their own guns and they may feel threatened.

     

    It's one of the only things I DONT envy about America. Most of it, I love. The gun culture is wrong.

     

    i agree but all cutures were founded upon war except the first culture which was created/evolved from primordial soup (depending on your belief system). but i get your point that guns were prominent and put into the constitution (right to bear arms which people interpret as guns) for that reason.

     

    agree with you pete0 as well. i blame the gun companies too, elsewhere in the world companies have integrity and ethical standards they adhere,to, in america money and greed are king and whether kids schools are being shot up or not gun companies don't care, they just want to sell more and to whom they don't care.

  7. Merica' fuck NO.

    Edited it for you there :) great point ten I have a lot of opinions on all the gun deaths and police brutality and murders here but I just don't have the energy to Suss them out on here. It's sad because they are so many people on here from other countries and those countries just don't have gun problems, we do and yet people feel it's their right to carry and store weapons in the USA. We should look abroad and see what has worked and emulate that, but we are America, ignorant and arrogant so it will be a phony law and more guns for everyone. Smh fml

    Basically says that Shaqiri was pissed that Inter accepted a bid from Stoke after he's only been there since January. According to the link, he doesn't want to join Stoke and is going to take some time to consider his future.

     

    This is all too funny.

     

    i read a couple days ago before the stoke bid that he had wanted to stay at inter as well. I agree it is comical. If he would have stayed at Bayern he would have seen a lot of time last campaign with all the injuries to ribery and robben they didn't have any other wingers (unless you consider alcantara).

    Few links getting around on this one, apparently 14m euro's & enquiry made. Not really a no.10 but can play there, similar to peanuts in my opinion only with goals to his game.

     

    i'd love this. a midfield attacking trio of kevin, dries, and gerry plus lukaku up top seems very pacy. we do love the belgians recently don't we?

  10.  

    Why do Americans say "finals" (plural) when there's only one of them by definition; and call mathematics "math" (singular) when there are multiple branches of the subject. You're just strange.

     

    Great questions mike. in our sports the finals are multiple matches. hockey, basketball, baseball, all have 7 game series. so they are in fact finals. we just generalize that to all sports. as far as math, we are lazy and mathematics sounds like a snobby englishman or something :fishing: only kidding. i just figured we shortened it so save printing ink on report cards and in books

     

    big final (see what i did there) match tonight for your ladies and japan.
