Indeed. I could go on. I'm totally with Rob on this one. You can get a better players on the continent for alot less than what clubs are paying for lesser British players. Look at Suarez for example, looks an absolutle steal for 22M, was it not?

Steal? Got a similar return out of Michael Owen goals wise.

Would have got a couple more assists i'd wager. Fair few of Kuyts were as a direct result of Suarez's play.

Think you've gotta look at the effect on the team, too. Suarez changed the club and brought loads of confidence to the side; Owen just added a scumbag to the United bench to basque in the glory he didn't contribute to.

"Scumbag" is rather offensive and more than a little harsh.

It's not like he's ever been in trouble for assaulting a DJ, assaulting a woman, smashing a glass in someones face, assaulting team mates, breaking curfews on international duty, injuring team mates in training and calling them soft c+nts after the event, threatening fellow pro's with assault, chucking coins into crowds is it....

Clichy to City? I thought he was off to Liverpool.

I said before last summer that someone should get Suarez snapped up, he's a superp player who I would have liked at Utd. Settled in well to the PL too.

Btw scumbag is very harsh imo, I had you as better than that.

Would be fourth choice at United though, probably why we didn't try.

Jonjo Shelvey turned B'Pool down - hence the delay in the CA deal.

Ji Dong-won to Sunderland.

He must be good, Barcelona signed him on FM11.


They're stockpiling young strikers, obviously learned their mistake from this past season!
