£7m apparently.

I was talking about both of their spells in England. Even so, in Oscar's first full season in Brazil he scored 13 goals in 11/12. It took Modric 3 seasons of regular first team football just to get over that amount. He only struggled when they started off playing him as a proper DM as opposed to a DLP who was allow to come forward. When played as a DLP, under Harry in 09/10 if I recall correctly, with a DM next to him he was more than comfortable.

Everton are signing Fer by the looks of things. Would be the perfect replacement for Fellaini, probably a better player if he manages to settle well.

While I agree Oscar would be better off played further back (Think I said this when we signed him actually), comparing it to Modric isn't really the same. Modric was never as much of a goal threat as Oscar is, it's one of the reasons why it was a easy decision to play him as a DLP in the first place.

Who?

Allen, been sh*t for most of his Liverpool career and scores that.

Disappointed Ake isn't starting, no point throwing him on in the 80th min either.

I would start Ake & JT myself, probably drop Lampard too but other than that it looks good enough to me.

Bayern have always had money and they have spent quite a bit over the years. They have a good academy and youngsters though so it hasn't really been necessary for them to splash out as often as Madrid or something.

Can't go wrong with £1m though, even if he flops they will still be able to sell him for more than that. Plus 10 goals in 20 games is pretty good for someone who, in my view, is more of a winger than a striker (Too indecisive when played upfront, rapid as hell but can barely dribble and is pretty poor at one on ones). Although having said that, his stats since he got his move to striker is pretty good to be fair, got 14 last season I think, around the same as Gomis, Lopez and was 5th in the goal scorers table ahead of Lopez and other good strikers before moving to Newcastle.

Said they weren't showing the proper camera angle (The one posted by bjd) which shows that Hazard clearly kicks the ball, he might have hit the ball boy a bit but he was overreacting and making the most of it to get him sent off/influence the outcome. Then goes on to say that if there are ball boys like that trying to influence the outcome of games then sadly they should get rid of them. He also thought the ball boy was 13, was in disbelief when the presenter told him he was 17.

My god that is the worst piece of journalism I have ever seen.

I like the guy and all but Laudrup's comment about him failing on the ball is quite frankly pathetic.

Yoan Gouffran signed for Newcastle for next to nothing. These guys man.

People's overreaction to this makes it pretty funny, in a sad predictable way.

Think it's clear what he was trying to achieve, with the benefit of hindsight however is was ultimately pointless.

You've got to laugh really.

I think it's mainly because his father just took over the club.

"I had to wonder where that British involvement was when I saw the Arsenal team.... There was a big commotion when that first happened and it shouldn't be washed under the mat again" - Pardew 2006 brb 9 French players in their team now, more than Arsenal. brb signing more. Still can't believe they got Mbiwa for so cheap though, such a good signing.

So we sell Romeu or Mikel for two lesser players? Makes sense.

Think I said at the start of the season it would be us and Spurs for 3rd and 4th. Can never rule out Arsenal though, they always find a way back towards the end of the season to get 4th.

Fellaini well and truly average once refs actually do their job and stop him from getting away with all those fouls.

Probably writing down the orders being made by the coaching staff around him. Might as well get in there before someone else does.
