need a link or a way to watch the alt/barca game tonight.. really need espn to pick up the games or NBC
 
:lol: @ you guys thinking thats a real tattoo..

Yea dude, that's an terrible fake looking tattoo too :lol:

I'm kind of disappointed in Burley man, he should have gotten a half-dollar size tattoo of Torres face on his foot or something, he made a bet! :lol:

Still, those dudes are hilarious. The closest thing ESPN has to the TNT Inside the NBA crew.
 
Theo Walcott on the Arsenal's current attackers being better than Henry, Pires, & Bergkamp... :smh:

I think he's been drinking waaay too much of the 4th place punch & it's clouding his head...


I think this squad probably does beat it, but we need to prove it,” Walcott said. “When I came, it was Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Thierry and Jose Antonio Reyes – that’s some attacking force as well. When we go and achieve a little bit more than winning the FA Cup, then I think we can stand up and say this is the best attacking line up we’ve ever had.

I love listening to their podcast every morning at work
 
BREAKING: Chelsea are in talks with Fiorentina over a £27m deal for Juan Cuadrado. [Sky Sports]



why is it that united never move with urgency?
 
I haven't watched any of Villareal this season.  Arsenal seem to be after their center back Gabriel Paulista.  Anyone know much about him?  @psk2310   I know you follow La Liga.  Got any insight on him?  Hoping he's not another flop like Andre Santos...

Same dude. Nichol is like the Charles Barkley, Burley is Kenny, and Shaka or Moreno are an extra plus. Straight up laughs, The host is great too.


Chelsea doing work :x I feel you Beans, United def needed someone with pace. They always do seem two steps behind the past couple years in the market.

Tell me about it :rolleyes,starting to wonder if they'll end up signing anyone after all with a little over a week left

Might arguably be the best CB in La Liga right now. He's been a catalyst for Villarreal being unbeaten since November I think.

He's at least 6' & does a heck of a job clearing the ball out with urgency. Has great instincts playing the passing lanes & is quick to intercept or block balls into the back field.

I'd hate to see him go because the Yellow Subs have turned their club around. Debt free & playing in Euro competition. The team has been playing really well.

I was hoping Barca would sign him or Inigo Martinez (La Real) in the summer but it never materialized. :rolleyes

Where Does Cuadrado fit in though. Just off the bench wing play...that isnt Schurrle who never gets back on D :lol:

Their team is so deep :smh: Still dont' think that back line can handle out and out speed (prays for RM to meet them in CL and put in that work)
 
Chelsea lack width on both sides in my opinion.. throw him on the opposite wing as hazard and them him do work, Chelsea's counterattack is gonna be unbelievable .. this allows for more rotation especially since Jose has been so reliant on his first 11...
 
Weren't there stories yesterday about Chelsea not wanting to match his release clause? Did that change today or what?
 
I think Cuadrado is overrated. He's showed flashes here & there for Fiorentina but I never thought he was consistent. Same for Columbia in the WC. Did anyone think he stood out on that team this past summer?

Ro - the rumor is Fiorentina want like 34-37 million pounds & Chelsea are only offering 27. Fiorentina has already told Chelsea no apparently...

assuming.. they came up on some recent money OR fiorentina decided to take what they could and they reached an agreement

i have to agree.. though he did have a couple moments at the WC.. BUT.... Jose can and has gotten the best out of players and usually buys those he knows can work in his system..

I see, in that case I hope that Fiorentina stays firm :lol:.

I kind of agree about him being a tad bit overrated. He showed some flashes during the WC but nothing to really write home about. Wasn't too enthusiastic about all the rumours linking him with Utd after the WC.

To add extremely amateur analysis, I use Villarreal in FIFA manager mode, and I replace the rest of the players with world class big name guys, but I keep Gabriel in the starting XI :lol:

He's got good speed for a CB and can play RB also.
 
One of Schurrle or Salah (or maybe even both) will probably end up gone within the next few months if not this transfer window. Mou hasn't given Salah any real chances and Schurrle is quickly losing favor with him.
