Technically, it could match it for excitement... but some of the football and players are pretty drab. And the refereeing! I saw Aberdeen vs someone on ESPN (possibly Hibs) and the ref sent a guy off for a tackle that wasn't even a yellow!

Not that England/other nations can brag about our fine referees...

Half of them are tap ins!! He can finish some good ones off though! You'd think if he was destined for the top someone else would have bought him from Scunny but then again, he's 23 or something? Loads of time left!!

by FIFA Diva Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:08 pm

Anyone up for deals? I'm after a striker and fullback can use some of my players in deals or straight cash.

by TwisT Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:08 pm

Y I.........I really don't know what to say. Most of those goals were tap-ins and one of them was a penalty! Who the hell classes a penalty as a way of showing someones striking ability????

Gary Hooper = The New Gary Lineker

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:09 pm

Every team needs a goal poacher. That is exactly what Hooper is. He is still young, Id be very surprised if he isnt in the prem by next season.
22 goals in 36 last season
15 in 28 so far this season

I suppose YI could argue that he has the creativity on his wings or in the middle to give him those tap ins, and utilise the good positional sense he seems to hold.

However would Chiellini, Vermaelan et al, give him the room to get to these tap ins?

If my wingers beat the wingback marking them, leaving room to move in at goal, the CB will come out to meet my winger leaving the space for Hooper.

To fall over the ball with no one near him! Laugh

Only joking, I think tap-in's reflect quite well on strikers, it shows a good instinct to find the space and goal scoring areas. If he moves away from Scotland to a higher standard and proves as deadly then he may be a snip for what you paid.

lol The refereeing can be dire at times, especially for teams playing against the OF. At the New Firm derby last weeked, DUFC should have had a penalty against Aberdeen AND the winner that Aberdeen scored from a throw-in (not directly from the throw-in!) should never have been theirs apparently.

Also, there was a St. Mirren player headbutting a Hibs player but got away with it and a Hearts player headbutting a Hibs player in the Edinburgh derby who got away with it at the time.

TBF you could stick RVP up front, the ball won't be getting to him that much whilst your goalie is picking it out of the back of your net. Whistle

by nick_fury Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:42 pm

CF has really improved his team. This time last season he was selling his best players and feeding Chellini the monies.

by nick_fury Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:44 pm

Flip Paul Pogba, douchebag. We went through a lwsuit for him, trained him uo and hes being a bizatch because hes not a first team player!! Hes 18!!! Even Beckham wasnt a first teamer at 18.

Ravel's contract is the same but as he is a born and bread Mancunian Im hoping that makes him stay.

Not too sure about that, you let a few goals in last season Whistle

"Matt Busby summed it up perfectly, that you don't need to chase money at a club like Manchester United, it will eventually find you. If you're good enough, you will earn money and become rich playing for us, there's no doubt about it."

Bang on. I cant disagree with that one bit.

by nick_fury Fri 06 Jan 2012, 12:59 pm

Leonardo Bonucci
£20m + Pazienza
to Juvetus from Fiorentina

£20m Shocked

WTF are these deals about?

OH GOSH CF you have hands down won the "Rafa Benitez" award. Congratulations!!!

Season 1, pre season: Leonardo Bonucci leaves Juventus for Livepool in a straight swap deal for Jamie Carragher.
Season 2, pre season: Leonardo Bonucci rejoins Juventus from Florentina. Juventus send Michele Pazienza + £20m to Florentina for Leonardo Bonucci

CF, I crown you Lafa Benitez for the FFA.

Would you like to collect your award (A4 piece of paper with excuses on it) and make a speech??

by sodhat Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:01 pm

Defenders are bringing in the big bucks at the moment!

There is a bid on Pereira worth £20m too. A right back!

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:05 pm

Did anyone actually bid £20m for Pereira or is that what Nadeem quoted.

His first post on Pereira this morning was that Pereira wasn't good enough and that he wanted to upgrade. He got a bit of interest in him and he went from that, to needing a better RB + cash for him, to finally quoting £20m.

I was only interested in him as a back-up RB

by TwisT Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:06 pm

CF, you sold 25 Million worth of cash and talent but you didn't want to give me 25 Million for Dawson?

May be wrong (probably am), but Dawson > Bonucci ?

Spurs have offered £15m plus £5m on 5 first team appearances.

by nick_fury Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:08 pm

How is everyone missed the obcious Shocked

CF you/he swapped Bonucci for Carragher start of last season and now has just paid £20m for Bonucci Shocked

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:10 pm

look i just wanna know what people think about that side.

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:10 pm

I would say Bonucci is on a par with Dawson at least, but if he discovered his form from last year, then he would be better than Dawson.

But he is not a £20m+ player that is for sure.

by Marky Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:11 pm

Bonucci has obviously improved since then thumbsup

I think with all the money CF has to spend, spending £20M on Bonucci wasn't the best decision to make IMO, but then i'm not Juventus manager am I.

Really all depends on your tactics. I could not vote on them because you were in my league last season, but it was too airy-fairy. Simply did not have any substance apart from telling people to have a good game.

You teams have always been good, but you have let yourself down in the past. Sort that out and you should do well this season

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:13 pm

Bonucci's form has dropped with Chiellini being shifted to LB.

But they supposed to be close to signing a new LB (can't remember who) and Chiellini should shift back. This should help Bonucci a lot

by **ADMIN** Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:13 pm

TBF to CF he did try and get all the other top drawer CBs first and no-one was budging.

Only because he was scrimping and saving as much as he could, if he loosened the purse strings he may well have got a top drawer CB.

That's probably good news for me!

But I intend to use him at CB since I sold Garay. I do rate him higher than Garay, though.

I'm laying out some back up options. But I don't believe I would succeed in that TP anyway.
