MercenaryChef Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Despite villas goal tally of last year may not have been staggering he will still score plenty at barca. Having messi and the very capable midfield of the spanish champions providing service for david is a gift of epic proportions. I could score a couple goals with those skilled players giving me the ball and causing defenses to be in disarray.And in other news how sweet was berbatov.s goal? And taking your shirt off to celebrate a goal when you already have another shirt on underneath is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renasko Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I don't think that's more than a rumour so far. I can't really imagine Hércules having the money to pay him, really.Not just rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercenaryChef Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 ^Are you from the US? Just wondering why you support the Mags, if you are?i am an american.i will tell you why the toon are my team....when i was a lad i was playing soccer at the school level. my coach was german. he had access to vhs libraries of matches and highlights of european leagues and players. mind you i lived in oregon, we had no internet yet as it was still barely invented, so when my coach showed us this man named alan shearer and the goals he scored then for blackburn i was in love with his quality. the man was the player i wanted to be. later on he would go to newcastle. about that time the usa started to get the occasional epl games on tv. i saw shearer now in a striped shirt for the toon. while other soccer friends were picking man united, arsenal, liverpool and chelsea i hung my hat upon the magpies. since then i have been a supporter. i have watched them climb and fall and fall and fall even more. they just fit my working class, might-be-good background.

Fireball07 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Oh. Well, I suppose that makes sense. That's the reason why a couple of the Mags supporters I know support them. The other was born there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball07 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Niall Quinn started it off, he was always my hero for Ireland.And then the season I started getting interested in Sunderland, they signed a little-known striker from Watford for 350k...

Renasko Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 It makes sense as Barca had to take out a loan, just to cover the playing staff's wages.Edit: Speaking of players left out, does anyone know what the situation is with Aliksander Hleb? Very unfortunate time of it since he left Arsenal. I'd love to see such a gifted player back in the EPL. He'd make a great loan/buy for someone like Liverpool or Villa. I wonder why Guardiola doesn't rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 So Milan sold Huntelaar to Schalke and now get Zlatan in return.I am wondering if losing Zlatan will be a blow to Barca. Obviously the Barca midfield is great, plus they bought Villa, but I'm sure the idea was to play Villa-Messi-Zlatan. I don't think Zlatan had a bad year for Barca at all. He wasn't as good as Eto'o was, but that was expected. To my mind, getting rid of Eto'o was still the only big false move Barca made in recent years. Zlatan did quite well and made a fairly good centre forward who actually has some physical prowess in a barca team of midgets. On the other hand, there has been this whole soap opera this summer about Zlatan not feeling happy at Barca anymore, which was apparently masterminded by his agent, and now Barca are thinking they are probably better off getting rid of him.Good deal for Milan anway.

They'll play Pedro on the left, most likely, another creative player who seems to score a lot of important goals for Barca. They've got Bojan aswell, and Seydou Keita.

MercenaryChef Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 My favourite Shearer moment is a not a great moment. but, he did smash some 206 goals for the toon. you cannot score if you do not shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever. We've had a lot of bad days...but they were good ones back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 They've got Bojan aswell, and Seydou Keita.Keita is a defensive midfielder, mate. Not in any way creative. Of course, he still remains a Barca player. Valdes could probably play in midfield for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
