  1. . sorry for the confusion, mike i think your system is vastly greater than ours. the corporations run the country here. in england there are real campaign finance caps, no tv or radio ads, and people have views and run boring campaigns. here it's all flash and spectacle and "his power stance and red tie exude president", that's what people vote on. it's pathetic. corporattions are people now too so they donate billions (and by donate i mean legally bribe) to the candidates. you can't do that in england. england - has some ethics. america - greedy with no ethics.
  2. we already have mccarthy's backup in besic. we need creative, cleverly ain't that. my dream scenario would be yohan cabaye, loved him at newcastle and he barely sees 10 minutes a match if that with PSG. great free kicker taker as well, and could be a proper corner kicker too. no thanks on cleverly.
  3. That's not it either. I was replying to paddock who doesn't rate Barkley and would rather have nasri. Mc just said he wouldn't come here, he didn't have an opinion on yea or nay.
  4. I'd like to see Bournemouth in the auto and Norwich too, I like some of the Norwich players like Redmond. Playoffs - watford, why not? Anyone id like to see Nottingham forest go up if I could be god.
  5. You'd have Nasri over Barkley due to wages? You stoned? Nasri makes 5 times in wages what Barkley does and isn't worth half what Barkley is.
  6. so cameron is stepping down or being forced out or what? i thought elections only occurred when one party's majority was lost. you are on regular election cycles like the states?
  7. exactly! they had him above bale and modric, we can see now JUST HOW WRONG THEY WERE. dude he's a fine player for 6m, but you're talking him up like he's a worldie. hard working moyes esque naisy part 2, sure. but no kev mirallas with flair and the ability to take the game on his back and win. great squad player for me to rotate in.
  8. great news, i want to see him on the wing more. he will have a big gold cup with costa rica i bet, it's coming up this summer.
  9. why? he's getting older and was one of the trouble makers that got kicked off France's national side. On his day he's a great player, but no world beater and not worth 50m, not even close.
  10. i heard about this the other day. so the parliament dissolved and there will be an election to pick the ruling party correct? what happened to cause this? could cameron be back as prime minister if his party re-aligns with different parties? your system fascinates me because you vote a party, ours is the person and they have personal agendas, yours seems slightly less corrupt and less cronyism.
  11. i agree we need a playmaker. where do you think they will play though? this is what i've been thinking about because we have to play ross centrally, so either the playmaker takes barry's place or is on the left wing where pienaar was and cuts in ala david silva/pienaar. or maybe we switch formations. i've been mulling this for a while, thoughts?
  12. lol. i'd love to see garbutt, besic, browning, robles, and long given a shot, but think it won't be till preseason sadly. trial by fire isn't something RM subscribes to.
  13. haf which goes to show how terrible of a talent evaluator sherwood is! lamela is going really well this year, even townsend is too! lennon fell off because he's the worse of the 3. you mention how he's a worker and work rate and consistent, do you want the moyes boys back? that stuff doesn't play well with tiki taka RM, we need technicality and creativity in the final third, not someone "doing a job".
  14. Must win for me. Need to show improvement and try and catch palace, stoke and west ham in the table. Burnley will come out with fire and heart to try and save their season, if we can weather the storm and then attack I'm confident we will win. Here's what I'd like to see Robles Coleman Stones Jags Baines McCarthy Lennon Barkley Osman Mirallas Lukaku
  15. happy birthday man, you make this a better virtual place
  16. Wow some real players there haf. We need to sign some up. Huntelaar I love but you're rifht he will want champs. Ayew Milner and the Ukrainian duo sound good to me.
  17. Honestly I think the red shite leaked it. He's not signing a new deal and will leave so instead of backing him they make him look bad (if you care about that stuff, really non story to me) so when they sell the fans don't go ballistic. Wait all the fans live in London so even if they did get mad nothing would happen. Ok nevermind.
  18. Southhampton is doing fine. Last season we had a young team, Coleman, stones, McCarthy, Barkley, Gerry, mirallas, lukaku. 7 of 11. I agree mike probably won't win the league, but we don't have much a shot at that anyways. I agree its a no brainier for 6m, will be a great buy, I just worry if he's our starter and replacement for mirallas, that's all.
  19. all young and very great prospects, we weren't the only ones in for John Stones, Davie just got him before the others. Top scorer in Greece or not he was a belgian international from the "dream team" generation and had a lot of promise, wasn't a seamus coleman diamond in the rough (and neither was stones). I don't mean the guy disrespect mike, i like him and think he would do well here. but to me it seems like a naismith type davie moyes signing. high work rate, top lad, great defender, but is missing one key attribute that makes him a mid-grade player instead of a top prospect or something. maybe i'm asking too much, but the wings are our weakest spots, and if mirallas does leave we need 2 top wingers to help out lukaku. we defintely need the creative tricky guy ala pienaar but younger (which lennon isn't). and if mirallas leaves we need his replacement (which lennon isn't). just not excited about this guys, feel free to disagree like so many have, but with a prize like lukaku i really feel he needs proper wingers to maximize his and the teams potential. otherwise it's like having a porcshe with crappy worn out wheels, sure it drives but it ain't the ride it's supposed to be.
  20. i just feel let down by this. we used to be ambitious. lukaku, deulofeu, mirallas, stones, mccarthy, these are very recent players highly rated that we have acquired. i'd rather have chadli than lennon from spurs maybe we can get both for super kev in a swap.
  21. article stated he wouldn't get into it because he supports both squads even though he's a supposed evertonian. still think he would be a great owner, his business empire his vast and extremely profitable.
  22. above townsend? and who rates him? that's like saying mcgeady is highly rated, rated higher than matthew kennedy. i think for 6m he will be good, and worse case he will be a great squad player and dressing room guy. just worry we'll get burned just like we did with barry. once lennon's pace is gone that's it.
  23. amen makis, this is a no from me. why are we linked with aging midfielders? oh yeah cause RM loves Barry.
