Can hardly blame him for assuming, you didn't make it clear what you were referring to when you said all which is why I didn't bother responding.Not sure how anyone can disagree with that, who do you rate higher than Busquets?

I was hoping he would start.

I think you'll find that if you watch the full incident that he was in fact holding his face beforehand. I'm not disagreeing that he was covering his mouth, I'm disagreeing with the assumption that it was done in a sinister manner and because of that it had to be something racist.It's not even my intention to defend him, I hate Barcelona as much as the next guy but to call a player a racist without any proper evidence is just absurd. You can have your doubts, that's fine and dandy but that's about as far as it should go. Lane has him painted out as a racist (Lane actually says black players, which makes it seem even worse as if he does this regularly), I'm just balancing out a bias argument from someone who clearly has a problem with Busquets. Doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, he says that's what he said. There's no proof to suggest otherwise. Case closed. Pretty simple, isn't it?I have doubts about both Busquets's and Marcelo's version of events but it wouldn't be worth going over something that happened a while ago again. Certainly not in this thread anyway, there's nothing in this rumour at all.

People already hate us anyway so we might as well have the best CDM in the world in our team seeing as it wouldn't make any difference. As for diving and cheating, if it helps us win trophies I wouldn't care too much. Again we are already being accused of that anyway. Bit hypocritical to call/hint at Busquets being a racist when I'm sure you've defended Terry. There was no proof that he actually called him a monkey, people just assumed that because he was covering his mouth and the words he mouthed were similar to mono mono that it had to be something racist. Plus his reputation of being dishonesty doesn't help either. He was holding his face/head long before that incident, he was faking an injury and turned to Marcelo, who he was tussling with beforehand, and he says he said "Mucho Morro", which means "You've got a lot of nerve" or if you believe Real Madrid "Mono Mono", which means monkey. If he had called Marcelo a monkey then you would have expected at least some kind of reaction from Marcelo or the players around him, perhaps he was taking the moral highground. Regardless, it's wrong to say things like that about Busquets without knowing the facts.

I think Arsenal were looking at him a while ago before us.

Miccoli is just as good, wouldn't have said no to him on a free.

Makes me laugh when people say Neymar would get roughed up and wouldn't be able to handle the physicality of the EPL. Neymar gets hacked and roughed up more in 10 mins than any player does in the EPL in 60 mins. It's why he gets pissed off and is perceived as being immature and having a poor attitude, if I was him I would be just as pissed off knowing that everytime I went out to play a game the tactics of the opposition team was to break my legs and worse of all the refs just wave play on. The Brazilian league isn't fairies prancing around with no contact.All I can say it's I'm delighted that Porto didn't think the same way you do otherwise Falcao would never have been bought. The trio of Hazard, Mata and Oscar will have to be disrupted eventually due to injuries, fatigue, etc so that's not really a reason not to sign him. Neymar could very easily come in and play the role Torres is currently playing (Not sure if intentionally or not) which is sort of like a false nine, linking up with the front 3 and retaining possession but obviously at a much higher level than Torres. But yeah, I sort of agree that we don't need him and shouldn't go chasing after him (We have KDB and Piazon waiting) but if he comes out and says he wants play in England and join us/listen to our offer then we would be stupid to turn him down. That is assuming it was at a reasonable price, for me max I would say would be £30m. Considering that his contract is up in 2014 even £30m might be a bit much.

I like how he holds onto the ball and forces players to close him down before releasing it, thus creating space. Henderson just removes himself from any responsibility and passes it as soon as he gets it.

People complain about us playing through the middle, well we will never be as bad as Arsenal in that regard. Literally all you have to do to beat them to park the middle of the pitch and press.

Mata is the reason we won, has to be him.

Sir Alex rates him a lot, that's enough for a knighthood nevermind a England cap.

Have to agree with Davey. If you can't voice your disagreement without being aggresive then just keep it to yourself. It's attitudes like that that discourage new members.

Scored today v a strong Aresnal line up. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wilshere-sagna-play-in-friendly-at-colney

He hardly moaned, he was asked questions and said that he would obviously prefer to play upfront but is happy just being in the team whether it was LW or RW. In fact I remember those interviews very well, mainly cause he mentioned LW and I was saying beforehand that he's actually a lot better on the left than on the right.

What the hell? He's been their best player and is generally their most important defender. Anyway, we all agree it should be Ryan but from reports it looks like we are looking at Baines. Baines is hardly going to come to sit on the bench now is he?

Not at all, he's stringed great performances together. Last season being the main one. He does make the wrong choices at times, not really denying that, but nowhere near as bad and frequently as you and others making out.Of course Bertrand gets games but my point was he still wouldn't be first choice if Cole leaves. If Cole was to leave, a replacement would be brought in. I can't see us not signing a new LB if Cole leaves, we would have Ryan, PVA and Cesar (plays both sides) as our LB's. Don't get me wrong, I would be happy with that (Not so much with PVA though but I'm willing to give him a chance) but I doubt the club will be.

I think we got lucky with Oscar to be honest, 80 was certinaly a suprise to me. Not because he isn't good but because prior to Fifa13 he hadn't really stood out as much like Neymar, etc so I was expecting them to underate him. Oscar has 82+ pace if I recall correctly, that's not fast enough? Not had a problem with his or Ramires speed myself, guess it depends on how you play.If you use the default formation then Mikel is a good bet I guess, although he's too slow and turns like a brick. Strenght isn't that great either, Lampard can win balls back just as well and can dribble way better.

People always bring this up depsite Johnson's solid defensive performances over the past season and a half. He is an extremely good LB, seems like he's better playing there than at RB for some reason. In comparision to Baines, he is as good if not better.Of course I would rather Ryan got played there but that doesn't seem likely. And if people at the club knew we were going to be after a new LB in Jan, I would rather we had got Alvaro in the end after all that hassle.

Would rather get Glen Johnson back, best attacking fullback in the league.

Why is it bollocks?It's been well documented that there has been a mole at Liverpool for some time now leaking out information. Jen Chang has spent the best part of a year trying to weed the mole out and failing on numerous occasions. A ITK known for leaking information out from Liverpool before anyone else even gets a sniff asks to meet with him, he's hardly going to turn him down now is he? Cheng knows he has valuable information which is screwing with the club. The so called threats have no foundation and the "evidence" Duncan provided don't amount to anything unless you blindly accept what he says. Which isn't the smartest of ideas considering this is someone that has made a name for himself by lying and deceiving people. Also find it odd how the strongest possible evidence Duncan could have provided, the telephone calls, were not shown on his blog. No poorly taken shots with a second rate camera? Webcam shots? Anything? Clearly had enough time to make that blog (2 months if we go by what he said) and he couldn't get images during that period? And the fact that his other means of taking action against Cheng amounted to nothing suggests that his claims aren't all it seems. Even if this all did happen, I have no sympathy for him. Certainly not to the extent he's trying to milk anyway. Duncan is right in a way in saying he doesn't have a mole, however what he failed to mention was that he knew someone who did and that was how he got his information passed on. The end result is the same. I find it odd that a Liverpool fan would go to such extents to undermine the club he apparently loves.

Borini has a broken foot, will probably be out for a while and Suarez will probably get a ban sooner or later. Sucks for the Liverpool fans but it must be great to be a youngster at Liverpool this season. Can see Ngoo, Morgan and even Yesil getting games, not like any of them can do any worse.

I think Oscar is rated perfectly fine (I take out Mikel and play Oscar in the mid 2). Cahil and Luiz are underrated, not their overalls but certain attributes such as passing.

Why? Sandro is miles better than Parker.

I really don't see what the big deal is.
