I really think Rossi is dead in the water. I really do.

It must be someone else. Maybe someone that we were after that we didn't know about?

I think I'd love it to be Nilmar - based on nothing but the fact he was in my FIFA Ultimate Team for aaaaaaaaaaages.
Would like Nilmar too. He's been linked but gets (too) little mentioning on here in my opinion.

Those under 21 can be there as well but we do need 8 players over 21 from the UK so we have

Bale, Dawson, King, Hudd, Walker, Lennon who we want in the first squad

then

Jenas, Defoe, Crouch, Bentley, Hutton

looking at that you could have Townsend and Livermore and Jenas making up the 8 and lose JD Crouch DB and Hutton. As for Bostock i would not consider him a better player than JJ personally and the other 2 have yet to prove they are better either. We cannot be gung ho and just get rid of all the players some people don't think are world class as we'd end up with a bunch of youth players that may or may not be up to the challenge.


Its been said before but Hutton doesn't count only English, Irish and Welsh as Scotland have a "strong" national league...

Squad rotation, on a free and more bottle/heart/bollocks/whatever you want to call it in his little toe than JJ has in his whole body. If we don't get Top 4 this year Modders is most likely off, let's not forget that.

Adebayor- Read my original post... loan with option to buy with `Man C picking up some of his wages.. No medical as yet but close to being finalised.

Diarra- issue with wages still i believe but again close..

LLorente- no idea

Samba - waiting on BBurn

Rossi-obvious
Falcao-Columbia
Llorente-nickname the lion, lions are yellow (clutching at straws)

Could blue be nilmar?

Eau de Nil is a blue and Mar is an indo-european root for the sea which is blue (unless you live in Newcastle where it is a shitty brown)

What's happening now with Palacios as i'm assuming his protracted move to PSG has fallen through what with them signing Sissoko, but then I would have thought Diarra is contingent on selling Wilson.

I personally would much rather keep him than splurge X amount on Diarra, plus the likely high salary he will command.

Interesting you bring up Wilson I hear villareal have ear marked him as sennas replacement and could be used by us in a deal for Rossi/nilmar

I have always believed that Yellow is Falcao and still do.

We were interested in January and ITK at the time was that we sent scouts to watch him alot. The player himself is also keen to play in England and has been taking English lessons in preparation.

He also fits with POTL's latest. Unlike Rossi, there's not really been much clear interest in him from elsewhere. Going to Chelscum with Villas looked most likely but they don't seem to have tried at all.
