Mme Erzulie Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 [quote name='Isis' post='1409326' date='Jun 21 2008, 10.56']The Ronaldo stuff is mildy amusing. But what would really make me happy would be Abramovich realising he is bored with football and leaving Chelsea, taking his cash with him. It took a while but I am finally sick of Chelski.[/quote] Welcome to the club. [quote name='Slick Mongoose' post='1409332' date='Jun 21 2008, 11.11']That would be the greatest thing that ever happened in the history of football. I lie awake at night dreaming of Chelsea in ruins.[/quote] Thirded. I don't know about Keane. He doesn't seem prolific enough. A new Bellamy (possibly a higher handicap, though)? I'd rather have Berbatov, as I feel he'd better complement Torres :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 [quote name='Jon AS' post='1426556' date='Jul 3 2008, 14.03']Isn't he on the last year or two of his contract? If so, they won't be able to demand too much, what with that buyout rule.[/quote] The last. If Chelsea doesn't sell him now, the next year Lampard can go where he wants. So I think Inter will take him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem prolific enough[/quote] 23 goals in 07/08 (equal with Berbatov), and 31 goals and 13 assists in 2007. Also take into account that spurs stopped trying after the cup final in Febuary. What more do you want? You won't be able to afford Keane or Berbatov anyway, so stop dreaming. The idea that we'd accept Crouch in a swap is laughable.

Daeric Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Keane is also one of the few ex-Leeds players sold when they hit rock bottom to actually manage to do something with his career afterwards!

Daeric Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You wont find many people from Bradford disagreeing with that :P (But then again I get to laugh at Bradford FC as well!) DJ Me and a friend got into abit of a stupid discussion last night involving Pinky and the Brain and we came to the conclusion that they had had Jenova cells inserted into them!

Smudge Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Good Grief! I should smite you all for your disrespect... United players are kings amongst men. It is known. Even when they play in League One... I could whine about how the Football League bullied us and such, but instead I'll just say that I have every confidence that we'll be back to the top... soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 If Inter could sign Lampard, Quaresma and Mancini that would be very impressive. An Englishman in Italy, you don't see that very often, so it remains to be seein if Lampard there would be a success. One is inclined to say no. Quaresma looks ready for a major international club and Mancini is just a very good player. In other news, while Italy has sacked Donadoni, Raymond Domenech, claimed by most people to have been the worst coach present on EURO 2008, is actually being allowed to stay on as French Manager up and including WC 2010. I find that astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fantastic with the ball but he is not professional: he drinks and eats a lot, he is fat and he likes night entertainments too. So I think is a bad transition for Milan.

Mathis Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 So Simone, I bet you're looking forward to Milan vs FC Metalist Kharkiv, Rapid Bucharest and the South coast giants that are Portsmouth FC next season. If you visit Fratton Park you must remember to take an umbrella, it can get very wet in that glorified cow shed. Is it wrong that I'm so pleased that Milan are languishing in the mickey mouse eurocup? As a football fan I should be sad that I won't be able to see Kaka, Pirlo, Nesta, (Ronaldinho?) et al take on the world's best. Yet the thought of Berlusconi and his cronies turning up to watch kick and run from the likes of Queen of the South warms my heart. Also it might teach Gabrielle Marcotti some humility. The way he keeps refering to Milan as World champions is a joke. As if anyone cares about the World club championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
