It's all a little bit skewed on here lol, I'm with you - Puyol is a class act and still one of the best. There's no way Subotic and Hummels are better at this moment in time.

You (or I) don't decide the results though, the other managers do so it's their opinion that matters!

It's interesting. Last season Lavezzi, Gotze, Gomez, Cavani were highly rated and did well for their sides.

by Gregers Mon 21 May 2012 - 20:20

Can see lots of people putting Gomez misses a sitter now!

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:25

Puyol still class - still havent seen many people pass him with he plays.

Gomez will get slated by me Wink

by Hodgey Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:33

I know Pull, will be interesting but it's a problem whether to go for your own personal preferences or go to what everyone else thinks is stronger. Hmm.

I've never actually rated Gomez, just one of those players everyone overrates but he's always bottled it on the big stage and I've thought his finishing is lacking.

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:37

Gomez is still quality, just because he fluffed in one game doesn't make him a bad un.
Look at Rooney at the last world cup, would that warrant him being poor?
Knee jerk reactions!!!

Oh and top five CBs in Europe in order according to me...

1. Kompany
2. Silva
3. Vidic (would be 2nd barring injury)
4. Hummels (those that don't rate him clearly haven't seen him, best defender in Germany)
5. Pique

6-10 Chiellini (would be higher if he played centreback more but stuck at LB too much), Subotic, Vermaelen, Lucio, Colochinni.

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:44

Hero - vicious reply slating MY Rooney Laugh

Gomez peeved me off with horrible finishing.

Vidic number 1 for me when all fit.
Hope to see more of Hummels in the Euros

by Hodgey Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:49

Vidic is easily the best when he's fit, the man is a machine. One brilliant season from Kompany doesn't make him the best there is.

I've just never personally got the hype with Gomez.

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:49

Gomez has scored 41 goals this season, He has 21 for Germany, that is not a poor striker by any stretch of the imagination.
I heard someone mention during the final that he's the German Andy Cole because he does miss some sitters, quite a fair comparison in honesty. But what most fail to realise is that in that comparison the reason both of those players missed so many chances was because they are/were so good at getting in the right position, far better to be getting in the postitions and putting away 1 out 3 etc than 0 out of 0.

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:52

Gomez is the German Adebayor basically Wink

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:54

He's a 100x flipping Adebayor Laugh

Last season he scored 48 goals in 55 games which makes 89 goals in 2 seasons, only Ronaldo and Messi have a better strike rate in Europe.

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 21:57

Hero - we get it - you rate him. laughing

Your stats are impressive though I have to say

Still miffed with for Saturdays poor performance.
Big stages stick in my mind.

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:04

All great players have a night when they freeze on the big stage, look at the last world cup, Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney just weren't the players they are heralded to be.
Ronaldo had a real big game freezer tag for a while but seems to coming through it, Drogba on the other hand is the complete opposite, looks halfarsed v most sides, stick him in a final and he's unplayable.

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:09

Argentina's Manager was Maradona so there was no tactics involved and Germany were tactically miles better.

Ronaldo is a choker back in them days

You cant blame Rooney for England demise. He is their star player but service was rubbish.

Brazil's tactics are the best. The find a formation and fit players accordingly.

Argentina used to do that with Riquelme pulling the strings.
But how are they going to fit Aguero, Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Di Maria in one team? Brave manager to drop one of them

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:15

Don't forget the likes of Lavezzi, Gaitan, Pastore, Lopez and Milito.
Soon as well Lamela and Iturbe will be challenging

by Hodgey Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:18

Problem with Argentina is that even if they have all of this attacking talent, their defence is beyond guff.

by kamran Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:22

Hope they have some emerging talent defensively that can help that side because I have never seen an International side that has so much great attacking players

by **Hero** Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:24

Yeah I can't rebuke that, whilst they have a plethora of talent going forward they just shockingly poor in depth at the back.

by pullthestrings Mon 21 May 2012 - 22:31

Need to make sure we're confirming these deals lads.

by Gregers Tue 22 May 2012 - 12:51

Pull, if a player is soon to be available for free in real life (e.g. Rodellega) can the tp be for £0?

by pullthestrings Tue 22 May 2012 - 13:43

Difficult one. I'd say no, min price for a player is £1 mil.

by Gregers Tue 22 May 2012 - 14:39

by Hodgey Tue 22 May 2012 - 18:52

Looks like I'm all alone on the press releases. The media must love me.

by The Special Juan Tue 22 May 2012 - 22:05

Villa out of the Euros.

by footballcrazy Wed 23 May 2012 - 13:26

how do we rate forlan in a wide pos?

by kamran Wed 23 May 2012 - 13:33

The question you should be asking if anyone rates Forlan at all Wink

Personally, I prefer him up top.
Closer to goal, the better

by Hodgey Wed 23 May 2012 - 14:04

Forlan is better in the centre, not out wide.

by The Special Juan Wed 23 May 2012 - 18:02

Are Man Utd being linked with Alaba or Alba? I thought Alba was going to Barca.

by **Hero** Wed 23 May 2012 - 18:23

Alaba TSC

by Hodgey Wed 23 May 2012 - 19:02

Alaba, but there's little to no chance we'll actually sign him. If we wanted a LB that could be better than Evra in the future, we wouldn't need to sign anyone as we have Fabio. We need someone as good as, better, or even only marginally worse than Evra (Baines) to keep him on his toes.

by jimbohammers Thu 24 May 2012 - 8:47

Morning guys, hows it going?

by kamran Thu 24 May 2012 - 9:37

Morning all.

Jimbo thumbsup

Must be loving that West Ham are back to the PL.
Felt sorry for Blackpool though as they played you off the park

by jimbohammers Thu 24 May 2012 - 9:39

Hows it going Kam.

Delighted to be back in the prem, wembley was a great day out. yep Balcpool were the better team, but in a game like that i dont care how we win!

by kamran Thu 24 May 2012 - 9:56

All good here.

Managing the BEST team in London on here and Wenger should take a leaf out of my book and fricking spend it.

by pullthestrings Thu 24 May 2012 - 12:13

Jimbo

Hope you're well.

Anyone about for a deal?

by Cor Blimey Guvnor Thu 24 May 2012 - 12:32

although v.busy at work so may not always get chance to respond immediately.

by jimbohammers Thu 24 May 2012 - 13:02

Pull, im not to bad mate, yourself?

Guv

Good to see a league is still going strong

by pullthestrings Thu 24 May 2012 - 13:12

I'm good mate. Work is pretty hectic so on here more in the evenings now. Just something to pass the time!

by kamran Thu 24 May 2012 - 13:31

I'm sure Brahma bought Hazard for 26m

Surely he hasnt forgotten that?

Off to lunch

by Hodgey Thu 24 May 2012 - 13:45

So frustrating seeing Thiago Silva go and I can't do anything about it. Crying or Very sad

by kamran Thu 24 May 2012 - 15:25

I get that feeling every time when Arsenal gets interested in a player and the sugar-daddy managed clubs nab them

by **Hero** Thu 24 May 2012 - 16:14

The following players are all available for cash/trade at Madrid:

Antonio Adán
David Luiz
Raúl Albiol
Raphaël Varane
Ashley Cole
Álvaro Arbeloa
Lassana Diarra
Luis Gustavo
Esteban Granero
Fernando Gago
Roysten Drenthe
Hamit Altintop
Kaká
Frank Ribery
Lucas Piazon
José María Callejón
Sergio Canales

by The Special Juan Thu 24 May 2012 - 20:20

Thiago! And you came and you linked up with Vincent! To improve my defence, Thiago! I now have 2 players with the name Silva! And I need you today.

by Hodgey Thu 24 May 2012 - 21:24

T Silva and Kompany is such a beastly partnership.

by Gregers Thu 24 May 2012 - 21:53

What are peoples views of:

David Hoillet
Kevin de Bruyn
Andre Schurrle

by The Special Juan Thu 24 May 2012 - 21:55

Yeah they are indeed. Delighted to get Silva in, thought he would have been snapped up yesterday. I love overrated English teams. Get so much money for releasing rubbish.

I've not seen any of De Bruyne but from what I've heard he is good.
