    Transfer season madness, our own fault

    I have the impression that some of our high expectations and following deceptions during the past transfer windows have been caused by the unnecessary sales of some of our own vital players. IMO, The following players should have never departed the club, in order of importance: 1. Pedro...

    Juande to Real Madrid?

    Marca claims that Pedrag Mijatovic, Real Madrid's DOF, has suggested president Calderon the possibility of replacing Bernd Schuster with good old Magic Juande. All this after Real's 3-4 defeat against that funny team which will never want to do any sort of business with us in the future...

    Match Ratings v Fulham

    Gomes, 3: Torrid first half, 100% shaky, we all saw it coming, didn't we? Good second half, to raise his grade to 3 (from the worst there could be) Corluka, 6: Didn't do much wrong, looks classy with the ball, a bit slow without it. Looked more offensive than Bale anyway. Woody, 5.5: Below his...

    Who the hell is the guy in the middle?

    After checking the video of the goal, it's a yiddo in a suit coming into the pitch being followed by an horde of orangemen... Looks like Mido in the pic, though, hehehhe

    "Ramos happy after Levy meeting"

    Transcript of the meeting: JR: "Hello Mister, I'm fired today?" DL: "Naaaaa, we're sticking with you and the 'giving Juande more time' version this week too, you know how the markets are nowadays and we couldn't afford your excentric release fee..." JR: "Good good, I know what you mean mister...

    Jenas game

    I'm kinda depressed and bored so came up with this: Keep yesterday's squad, just replace Jenas with anyone else potentially within our financial reach (or even within the squad). Who would you put in there? Would it make a difference? My point is, for me Jenas can't be the captain plus he...

    Jol ready to get Tiago Neves

    http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_4062286,00.html He looks quality, highly regarded in Brasil. Good old BMJ finally signing quality after watching his starts go at Hamburg. Good luck to him.

    Cheap talent

    Just read the match report of the Carlin Cup match between Blackburn and Grimsby Town and the man of the match performance by new signing Chilean Carlos Villanueva (season long loan from Audax Italiano, Chile with pacted future fee of around 3 millions). It's true that it was Grimsby Town, but...

    Modric's role

    After watching the first two matches, it's evident for me that Modric is being wasted in deep, center midfield and should be deployed immediately behind the (currently inexistent) striker(s). But for that to happen we would need at least one proven DM to provide the necessary holding, and we all...

    Let's bring the Paraguayans in

    Salvador Cabanas and Roque Santa Cruz. Both strong, resilient, proved goalscorers, catapulted Paraguay atop of the South American World Cup Qualifiers ladder. They work perfectly together and have scored goals against the big teams both home and away. Cabanas could play the proper "striker"...

    Toulon Youth Cup

    Anyone following the U23 tournament in France? It is a classic now, with almost 100 scouts present to asses future signings. Most of the good squads are without their main players (EURO 08 or Libertadores bound most of them). As far as I'm concern, Chile is having a walk on the park against...

    Daniel Jarque

    This would be more of an anti-transfer gossip, I reckon: Jarque's name, so often linked with us in the past 6 months, has suddenly vanished from the transfer gossip news. There's a brief note about him on Marca, where he apologized to the Espanyol fans for the terrible (colective) second half...

    Update on Kameni in As (Spain)

    http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/futbol-valverde-sorprende-convoca-kameni/dasftb/20080508dasdaiftb_53/Tes It seems that he hasn't been convincing anyone in Spain with his form this season and is having some physical problems as well. He is going to do a Berby and will not feature in the next...

    Please no more rubbish signings, invest in something proved

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sscTC0ti_k Last weekend, FINAL of the Paulista Championship. We need Berbatovs, not Rebrovs. Players capable of winning IMPORTANT matches by themselves if necessary. VALDIVIA, VELOSO, BERBA TO STAY, CATA DIAZ, GOMES, ETO'O. All influential and winners!!!

    Comparing the Premiership to other leagues and taking advantage of its limitations

    Every weekend for the past 7 or more years I have faced the same dilemma: which European league match am I going to watch (at extravagant hours) tonight? (considering I have been living in South and North America as well as in Australia. The choice is easy for me, I'd rather watch Blackburn...

    An apology to Didier Zokora

    I have been a consistent critic of Zokora, making weekly emphasis on how overrated he was and how some aspects of his game were totally below par and may never ever become a quality or even a decent player for us. It is my firm belief now that, despite my comments being fair and objective...

    Espanyol, Kameni and someone else who is not Jarque

    According to MARCA.COM, there were scouts from Tottenham and Man Utd. assessing Carlos Kameni performance against Valencia at Montjuic last weekend. It is interesting to notice some of the comments from the fans about a potential move from the Cameroon international to White Hart Lane. Most of...

    The 4-5-1

    Could have been boring to watch, might have been unsuccessful in the past, definetely it's not a traditional English style of play; still it worked for us perfectly yesterday and seems to be the way Ramos will use to kill the matches when we have a lead to defend. On the past 3 seasons we have...

    Marca from Spain has an article about former Villarreal midfielder and Argentinean international Juan Roman Riquelme, who returns on a permanent deal to his home country to play for Boca Juniors. The talented midfielder enjoyed a successful loan spell last season at his home club, after being...
