EFC fan in oz

Saw the movie last week and it bored me just dragged on for to long however then went to see Walk The Line and that certainly lives up to its hype so its a must see and Joaquin Phoenix is superb in it.

Would like to see Moyes bringing through the youngsters by putting them on loan first before they enter the first team just so they get used to playing first team football in competitive leagues even if it is a lower standard. Sounds as if we've got some decent youngsters ready to come through in the next few years so maybe it would be good to build up relationships with a lower league team allowing us to loan players to them and also being able to keep track on the players that they produce.

Wow she is nice on the eye, always like a woman who dresses to impress

Think we should win this be interesting to see who starts at the back though not sure if Moyes will play Weir with Stubbs or Ferrari. Go for another 1-0 and a goal for Ossie.

I've got a season ticket for Sydney FC so get to see Carney alot and although he's good he does have a few problems mainly pace that he needs to work on. Great player though and out shines everyone on the park in nearly every game so he really should have been kept at Everton. Lots of youngsters beginning to come through in the A league and in a few years should be a great place to pick up youngsters for the premiership and even better they'll all be very cheap to sign.

Hearing he's coming to England tommorow and Pompey are favourites for his signing think i remember him being a huge prospect a few years ago and sounds like he' still a decent player. Think he's an attacking midfielder could be a good signing surely were more attractive than Pompey even without a Russian billionare.

Just seen Anichbe scored 2 in the reserves wouldn't be any harm possibly giving him a game in the next few matches. Seems like he's big, strong and knows where the goal is and it's been a while since a youngster was given a chance. Kissock sounds like a great talent to a bit to young for the first team i think though.

Just read that we only got 2 million for Kroldrup don't know whether that's true but if it is that's one huge loss.

Don't know why a chelsea fans posting on here must be very sad or bored of how his team have bought success. Great game alot of passion and commitment and the amazing thing is i think we could have won by more than just 1-0. Should give us a bit of confidence going into the next few games.

Great display in the first half were playing well although an awful miss by Beattie although he's been playing very well. Hopefully Ferrari's injury isn't to bad as Weir doesn't look great and haven't seen much of Stubbs yet.

Why not sign Ferrari now as he's a ready made replacement for Kroldrup and is already part of the squad. Glad he came out and said that he wants to stay because if he was leaving to we'd have huge problems defensively next yeat.

What a joke this is we could have at least signed a young defender oh well maybe if the rumours about blueboys21 were true we might see him back on the forum. Moyes really needs to sign someone with class or whose a prospect for the future if not he has to give youth a chance.

This is a very strange transfer deal sounds to me as if Fiorentina are trying to stir up the negotiations to put pressure upon Everton to sell him. I don't want to see Kroldrup leave as we just can't afford him to and well if Stubbs comes back to replace him well then it just makes things worse. Ferrari, Yobo and Kroldrup seems to me like a pretty solid set of centre backs to choose from. However without Yobo we need both Ferrari and Kroldrup to stay, what would happen if kroldrup left and then Ferrari got injured. I've never even heard of our youth team centre backs, if we sell Moyes is taking a huge gamble.

I know he's alot like BT and he's injury prone but he's a quality player and can score goals. Would take him but only at the right price.

Mentions Paul Dickov in that article i hope thats not true would be a step backwards we need to sign a young prospect not Blackburn's cast-offs.

Maybe might see Kroldrup to if he's fit although i doubt it. Like to see us play 4-4-2 in the game with either Ossie or Faddy partnering Beattie. Should win it but with them knowing they can face Chelsea in the next round could be tough.

It's confirmed on quite a few sites so think it must be a done deal but with the money i'd like to see us buy a young striker from the championship or abroad. Maybe this Nugent guy to bad we didn't go for Archie Thompson whose just moved from Melbourne to PSV. Not the greatest of players but a real goal poacher something we could definitly do with and would have been very cheap.

Can't believe this great news hopefully this moneys put towards a young, quick goalscorer. Bent had lost it this season seemed very disinterested so 2.5 million is better than i ever thought we could get for him. Now it's up to Moyes to use the money wisely and with the african nations coming up we might be able to find a bargain there.

We've got them used to have a few in my garden where i used to live think their the most deadly spider around Sydney. So i never really got to close to where they lived.

I liked the idea until the A-League started and i just don't think it works over here as the league can't attract the talent it needs to be competitive. Some games are great but others are like watching paint dry. Also the idea of a marquee player isn't right as players in the premiership will demand to be on equal pay as other players or else they'll move.

Sadly however good the idea of a salary cap is i don't see it ever becoming a possibility let alone used - footballs corrupt and lots of politics.

Sounds good but then again if he was ready for the first team surely he would have been put in before Vaughn who must be younger than him. Good to see talent coming through the academy though.

We should definitley have scouts out their for this competition as we should have for any big competition. Don't know if we have any relationships with african clubs in a view of development but we should have them set up as it will market the club and produce talent.

Luckily it's not as bad in the suburbs of Sydney at the moment although been sightings of hammer head sharks down by one of my local beaches. Luckily i usually only find huntsman spiders round my house i don't think their poisonous although their bloody big bastards.

I agree stevo we need to keep arteta in the middle and no point buying another centre midfielder whilst it's our most covered position.
