Jags has been bought in for Barry.

Olly my team is settled we don't need to gel, we should be stronger next season because the players know each other better then your side.


I'm glad your team is settled, makes it easier to write tactics against Wink

I have done it with chemistry. Like Cabaye and Tiote in CM together would have chemistry, but I don't take gelling into account.

Well I can't be bothered to hunt for other european bookies, so I'll accept defeat on that one rather than go to the effort of proving it.

Fact is Huntelaar was top scorer in the Euros qualifying (for all teams), and scored twice as many as RVP, even when RVP was in his purple patch. It is more likely for people to think Huntelaar will outscore RVP, than vice versa isn't it?

Huntelaar's 16/1 to be top scorer with RVP 11/1. That's outright not just Holland

A lot of that is to do with the money that has come for RVP based on his name and the subsequent exposure the bookies have to him.

16/1 for Huntelaar is a great price isn't it.

He must have started most of the qualifying games to have got 12 goals.

I would have thought he would have been a starter.

Rumors are that Huntelaar will be played as the main striker and Sneijder dropped.

Afro I agree with what you said but I asked for proof regarding the Bet you made that up you did a Hero there and trying to change the subject.

I don't know how much Rowntrees Aliens are I just bought them on offer that one time.

But like you said people will get swayed by Van Persie playing in the Prem getting overexposed and overated. The fact that he has a crap team made it even more dramatic.

Huntelaar > RVP all day.

I know what you mean. They had San Marino et al, which helped bump up their goals, but then RVP scored 4 of his 6 goals in one game against San Marino, so his record is worse than it first looks.

Viva's bet of Huntelaar outscoring RVP looks nailed on to me, heck I might even travel to Holland just to take the 3/1 on Huntelaar being their top scorer.

Not trying to change the subject, just can't be arsed to find more links to foreign bookies sites, so I would rather just accept you win that one.

English bookies odds are heavily influenced by RVP playing England and they will take a lot more money here for him than they would Huntelaar. Odds don't just reflect the likelihood of something happening. They more reflect the money taken and the risk the bookie is exposed to.

Not at 77p for 185g.

Viva offered 74p, but Tesco weren't having it. Viva refused to deal as he thought Tesco were being chicken

If I was a young Belgian footballer, who wouldn't mind going back home every now and then, and all the clubs after you could offer the same money and Champions League football, would you;

A- Move to London
B- Move to Manchester

Chelsea is closer to home, and there's this thing called the Eurostar which would cure any homesickness as he can go from London to Brussels pretty sharpish.

Logic suggests he'd pick Chelsea.

I'd choose to play for Crawley. In travelling distance to London, even closer to Eurostar close to Brighton (which you can enjoy the lovely english weather) and Crawley are going places Smile

Whilst I can see the logic in this there is also something called Manchester Airport, that tends to get people places pretty quick too.

Yeah more than likely but it's more of an incentive to join a club with players you know.
