"Reports are gathering pace in France that Manchester City have opened talks with the France and Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila. The Brittany club recently told Tottenham they would not allow the highly-rated 22-year-old to leave for less than £12m."

French football expert Matt Spiro: "Reports are gathering pace in France that Manchester City have opened talks with the France and Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila. The Brittany club recently told Tottenham they would not allow the highly-rated 22-year-old to leave for less than £12m."

How peed would you be Afro?

French football expert Matt Spiro: "Reports are gathering pace in France that Manchester City have opened talks with the France and Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila. The Brittany club recently told Tottenham they would not allow the highly-rated 22-year-old to leave for less than £12m."


Why didn't Matt Spiro speak up an hour ago

I don't think M'Vila is all he's cracked up to be. He has a worse attitude than Javi Martinez. And there have been so many overrated French DM's over the years too which isn't helping his cause.

The Special Juan wrote:I don't think M'Vila is all he's cracked up to be. He has a worse attitude than Javi Martinez.

That's the main thing that has been making me try to shift him. To quote someone on here: "He'll either stay in France and his rating will drop, or he'll move to England prove he is vastly overrated"

He has been average for Rennes for a year and a half, but I always thought he was rated on here. As soon as I heard that comment above, I have been trying to shift him asap.

In his defence, he scored a blinder at the weekend

The thing is, sometimes it doesn't matter if a player is average or not, it's whether other people rate them. Veloso is a good example, he's always been rated highly on these games, but IMO he's a poor player. He had a lot of potential in his early days but that's it. He hasn't fulfilled it at all.

I've not seen enough of him in a live match to rate him either way but I've read enough about him to say, with a bit of confidence, he's not the player he sounds like he should be. I remember that quote, was it Viva or Hero?

Mexes being another one.

I agree Mouse. Overrated is a good thing for these games.

And I have always said Veloso is Poopie.

I am more gutted that with a link to Man City, I could have probably got more for M'Vila than I did

Disagree with Mexes. I think he's quality.

Mexes is the most error prone CB in existence and has somehow managed to get himself moves to big club after big club.

Afraid I agree with TSJ on this one.

And the quote was Hero, but I think Viva thinks the same.

Very happy with Hangover's latest signing of Džeko. IMO he's a quality striker

We all have our opinions, but I think Mexes is quality, since the start of these games I've always gone for him when I've had the opportunity to.

Come on Gaston! Even if it is Southampton, just sign on the dotted line son!

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on

No one's been like Gaston
A kingpin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
My, what a guy, that Gaston!

Give five, "Hurrahs!"
Give twelve, "Hip hips!"
Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips

No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
For there's no one as burly and brawny
As you see I've got biceps to spare
Not a bit of him scraggly or scrawny
That's right!
And every last inch of me's covered with hair

No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating!
Ten points for Gaston!

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!

My, what a guy, that Gaston!

Hold
Girls, girls, girls, please
There's plenty for all
Oh yeah

No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating!
My, what a guy, Gaston!

Just doing them now


Keep getting interrupted by work

Done.

Twist - Ramirez is too good for Southampton and I think he is going to stand out massively for them. He'll be like the 2012 Georgi Kinkladze

I don't drink cider. It's empty calories

Bulmers and Magners are about the same IMO. Strongbow is nasty though.

Anyway...

Bulmers is for people who want to be able to drink Cider, but can't quite manage it.

I spent my teenage years on proper Scrumpy at the various Somerset village fetes etc. Now that is a proper drink

I actually drink that Swedish cider made with Strawberries and Lime that costs about 3.50 a bottle in the shops.

I'm the God of pretentiousness.

Oh. I changed my last answer from Frankie Boyle to Michael McIntyre at the last minute. Cost me victory I think

I'm originally from the west country so I've had my fair share of homemade scrumpy's.

Well done everyone

Thanks to trebs for doing it.

Michael Bastos possibly on way to Fulham????
