Fox announcer just called Rickie Lambert a world class forward. Not sure about that one. Rodgers is really screaming on the touch line, can hear every word.

Arsenal's original €30 mill bid for William Carvalho was supposedly rejected not because of the price but because Wenger essentially wanted put him on layaway...
Wenger wanted to pay the €30 mill in installments but he's apparently prepared to pay the full amount right away.
...
Real are well known for being keen to pay their transfer fees in instalments – hence why Tottenham are still owed money for Luka Modric and while Real's debt is often quoted as €590m and they remain under investigation by the European Commission over a land deal with the city council, that figure measures their entire liabilities.
...
If Kroos plays in the middle as the holding-defensive midfielder, isn't James better off centrally in the No. 10 hole as opposed to out-wide as an outside mid?
Still Israel Gutierrez's doppelganger.
^ I know installments are done, I just found it amusing that Wenger (being the penny pincher he's been) wanted to put Carvalho on layaway...
He's not. The term world-class is used far too loosely when describing footballers. Lambert is a very good striker.Fox announcer just called Rickie Lambert a world class forward. Not sure about that one. Rodgers is really screaming on the touch line, can hear every word.
To one of your points, there was some writing on the wall Daglish's last big window with LFC could crumble in his face. Adam, Downing, Henderson, etc. But I didn't see Spurs' big window flopping like it did. With Soldado, Eriksen, Chadli, Dembele, Lamela, among others. Maybe just too much new blood to fit on the pitch. Hard to mesh personalities in the locker room and playing styles on the ground. No chemistry, cohesion, camaraderie from Tottenham last campaign.Its not out of the norm though...

Real signed Modric in installments. It was reported they wanted to pay for Bale installments aswell but Levy didnt want that, thus why they were willing to sell us Ozil as our large cash reserves allowed us to give them 42.5m in one payment to help pay Levy/Spurs...only for him to blow it on bums like Soldado . Barca didnt pay us in one lump sum upfront when they singed Cesc (apparently they still owed us/were paying off Hleb and Henry at the time aswell.) so I wouldn't be surprised if they were "making payments" on Alex Song aswell.
Sporting may want the money all up front Carvalho but wherever/whoever reported that "layaway" bs was just trying to use the tired Scrooge McArsene one last time as Wenger is clearly shedding that perception the last two summers and paying in payments isn't out of the norm for large transfer fees at big clubs.
and they just sold oscar cardozo to trabzonspor. why? was benfica looking to sell him or did this just come out of nowhere?
i do like their new kits. both the home and away. always wanted to buy one but didnt like the past designs. once my giftcards arrive from soccer.com, i'll get one for almost half off.
he wasn't performing at his usual level last season tho.and they just sold oscar cardozo to trabzonspor. why? was benfica looking to sell him or did this just come out of nowhere?

I know most of yall don't care much about this because A) its Sacramento, B) its MLS C) Its Chivas USA
but I'm like 99% sure Chivas USA is gonna get sold to the Sacramento Kings owners and relocated to Sacto....
I'm cautiously excited......
Nothing wrong with the color... the red line just makes it look a bit weird to me...This yellow kit isn't bad.Florida smh
Btw liverpool kits are such trash.

I'm with you on Levy getting in his own way, too hands-on and often a detriment to his club. To your point about Sherwood, I actually like(d) Villas-Boas as a manager. Albeit he's stubborn with tactics and handling players. Maybe I'm holding onto his Porto days too much, but AVB has a ripe chance for redemption on Zenit in the '14 campaign.Yeah there is always the comparison to Liverpool under King Kenny with what Spurs did last summer and your right and as a Arsenal fan as much as I hope it blows up in their face to the same level there isnt a player to the some crappiness of the level of Carroll and/or Downing (Henderson has come good tbf to him). Both players are English and played in the EPL prior to their moves (not like they came from a lower or foreign league) where you can maybe say that Soldado and Lamela etc have an excuse because he came from foreign leagues and they had trouble adjusting to the EPL last season. Still both of them have a long way to go to justify their price tags.
With all that said to me it doesn't matter who Spurs sign the will continue to be heid back under Levy. He expects soo much, EPL titles and **** apparently, with they quickness that he sacks managers. He likes unsettling and undermining his own club's long term success. Long may it continue! I actually really liked Tim Sherwood. He has passion and wasn't afraid to tell it like it is regardless what the media would say. Extra refreshing. Had the best win percentage for a Spurs manager...sacked in less than a year over a couple of hammerings against a couple sides who are in a different level to them. Now he's no longer a Tottenham manager I will root for him wherever he gets another chance.
