See I could take the feedback negatively too, but I took it positively instead. Rather than get upset about someone not rating Riise at LB - when he had a good season last season - evaluated my options and signed a new LB to upgrade on Riise. Next time I get a negative comment about my LB, I'll look at it again.

I've also addressed the question mark over pace and energy on the wings, so now I have Giaccherini + Puncheon, two speed merchants who love to get on the ball and run at their man.

I could get annoyed at the di Natale feedback, but as I won, there's no point

Thats fair Azzy. I will be purchasing a new CB some point soon, was always going to but I dont think my wholes defense needs urgent attention.
My main priority is a striker, then a CB. I do want a RB & Lb but more for backup to my main ones. Think im covered at Cm, Barton has been training well, may get a game which will impress a certain someone lol

Di Natale is still an out and out striker for me. I didn't actually say that at all in my feedback but that was also a bit because of your opponents tactics taking up most of mine. Against more traditional set ups I would think of him as a pure striker rather than a CF/AM/SS type.

PSV Eindhoven vs AC Milan should make for an interesting match tonight.

Any of you guys rate Silvestre Varela?
I saw him dominate Arsenal from the right in preseason. But that may not be a feat.

I like Varela a LOT, every time I see him play he's direct, pacy, clever, and makes good runs. I'd love him at Albion, but I think he'd be better for Arsenal than Walcott, for Spurs than Lennon, for United than Zaha/Nani/Valencia. He's good.

Come on Azzy, hes not that good. Better then Young probably, hes not better than Valencia or Nani & to compare him to a 19 year old isnt really fair.
I always remember him scoring that goal in the Euros against Denmark. I havent noticed much of him since. Is he still in the Portugal squad, I didnt notice him against Holland the other week. For 28 he hasnt hes been around a while & never made headlines.
Id say good squad player but probably better rated wingers to buy for this league.

I thought that before I looked at the wingers available. Anyway the ultimate deal was:

Bojan = Varela + 1.4m

Celtic losing lolol

Tricky choice. Varela always played a good amount of games for Porto & get a few goals & assists. Hasnt his double figure in goal for a few years now so overall id say hes less productive.
Bojan on the other hand.....id just take the 8m for him unless you want to gamble on him coming good at Ajax, which he could. Altidore came good in Dutch League.

I think there is too much stigma around Bojan these days. Failed at Roma and Milan after Barca and just doesn't look like he'll be the player it looked like he'd be. 8m was too good to turn down.

Nani and Valencia only produce on the odd occasion. Varela is consistently dangerous, and why not compare him to a 19 year old? If you want to know who the better player is, right now?

I'd take that Varela deal, fo' sho.

Missing Kelvin Wilson no doubt

You know who I really liked Louis Saha.

Good striker but too injury prone

i miss Tugay Kerimoglu 

I was always partial to Jonathan Woodsman and Michael Owen.

Morning lads.

Been up since 4, travelling on a National Express for the first time today.

It's a really old coach so not the most comfortable. No plug sockets either
But you get what you pay for I guess.

Thats true, cheap & not so cheerful?
Where you off to?

Where you headed Trebs? Dahn saaf to meet Azzy?

Amarillo?

Brighton, isn't the parade coming up at some point soon?

If you are in London Trebs, come to Greenwich, I'll treat you to chinese for kunch

At the risk of sounding knowledgeable, Brighton Pride was earlier this month. I know because of football reasons, Crawley were at home on August 3rd because Brighton had to be away due to Pride. That and I went out bumming that night.

Had to edit your post Azzy, you misspelled a word.

I'm going London for the first time properly. Been to Wembley once but not seen anything.

Where's Greenwich? And how do I pronounce it, Green-witch?

It's Manchester Pride this weekend.

Met Nick at the game?

So that's why you had that rectal exam then

So you're getting out

Don't go to Greenwich, it's the wrong side of the river.

Mighty be wary of these London folks, I don't trust them and they think they're better then the rest of the country. Dont visit East, South and North London full of knife wielding thugs. I hate London.

Azzy your wife has you under the thumb you are not treating anyone to a Chinese.

Unless he's a Ford enthusiast and he wants to see some empty production plants in Dagenham he'll be fine.

Viva has a point to a degree though. Probably best to stay in or around the city and west end.

Trebs, it's pronounced 'gren-itch', or if you're a local, 'grin-idge'. It's SE London, 12mins by train from London Bridge. Come down, we'll have chinese or fish and chips or kebab or pie and mash or gourmet burger or maccy ds, we can sit in the park with an ice cream, I can take you on the Cutty Sark, we'd have a ball.

But I only have an hour for kunch.

And Greenwich is pronounced 'Gren-itch'.

I'm going to Hove dogs today, taking the wife and kids. My 3 year old is really excited to see the "doggy racing" and picked two winners and two second places when we went to Brighton Racecourse a few months ago!

Azzy give me a nearby landmark and I'll do my best to meet you xxx

Just keep an eye out for the guy with the massive kunchbox

I'm not going to wait outside for an hour at kunchtime, I have a best man speech to write

If you say you're definitely coming, I'll meet you outside Waterstones in Greenwich. It's next to the Cutty Sark, you can't miss it. And you can choose what we have for lunch.

Right I'll see what I can do, wish me luck getting round London.

Good luck. What are you doing down here anyway?

Trying to make it big like Dick Whittington

Mighty please meet Azzy up. This can possibly become one of the greatest v2 meet ups.

You have family in London don't you Viva? Why aren't you ever dahn saaaaaaaaf?

Has there ever actually been one?

How do you think Bull was conceived?

Isn't he Olly's brother? So I'm guessing when Olly met his how own mum while on a date with Fan?

I think it was the result of a mass 606v2 orgy.

The triplets could be any one of our sons.

Not mine, the closest I've ever come to an orgy was walking in on my flatmate at Uni spunking over his gf

Bet that put you off your kunch

Im in Brentford sunday

Too far Zebs, too far.

Anyone in Knutsford on Friday 6 September? I am on the lash that night.
